    Usage. The use of ain't was widespread in the 18th century and is still perfectly normal in many dialects and informal contexts in both North America and Britain. Today, however, it does not form part of standard English and should not be used in formal contexts.

    You have that backwards. You show disdain for those who realize that there isn't much to be proud about in this country. We know that we're lucky to be Americans, but we're not so delusional that we feel the need to feign some sort of 'pride' a la N. Koreans that have no choice.

    And if you're going to rely on your claim of service to country in order to garner 'attaboys', then you're truly a pathetic little child.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    They should bring the draft back. Two years service minimum. Everyone, no exceptions. That would change quite a few misconceptions about the military if people had to actually serve in it.

    TD, it's harder to emigrate to Mexico because they have laws that they actually enforce regarding immigrants.


    A prospective employer in Mexico must submit a work permit application to the appropriate labor authorities in Mexico. Upon acceptance of the complete application package the Institute of Immigration (INM) will analyze the case and issue a final resolution in 30 to 45 days. Once the application is approved the employee will have 90 days to 6 months (depending on each case) to appear before the Mexican Consulate with jurisdiction over his/ her place of residence to request the visa. The visa is issued in 3 to 4 days from the time the application is filed at the Consulate.

    A foreign national employee may convert his or her immigration status from a visitor status to work status while remaining in Mexico. The employee can be present in Mexico while the work permit application is being processed; however, the employee will have to wait until the work permit application is filed at the INM to be able to start work. In these cases, once the work permit application is approved, the employee MUST make a personal appearance at the INM to obtain his/her FM-3 immigration document.

    The major types of Mexican employment visa categories are as follows:

    A) FM-2 Visa - For foreigners who have family ties to Mexico or have work in the country over 5 years;
    B) FM-3 Visa - For foreigners who will be paid locally, import household goods or transfer to Mexico with family members.

    A Mexican corporate sponsor is required to prepare a work permit application on behalf of the employee. The work permit application is filed with the Instituto Nacional de Migracion (“INM”) in Mexico. Once the work permit application is approved by the INM, the approval notice is sent to the foreigner so s/he may apply for his/her visa at the Consulate with jurisdiction over her/his place of usual residence.

    To qualify as a sponsor of an FM-3 work permit, the basic requirements for the Mexican company and the assignee are as follows:

    1. The Mexican entity must be duly registered in Mexico and show evidence that all corporate income taxes are paid;
    2. The employee must possess relevant professional experience, along with a university-level degree. In lieu of a university degree, the assignee must possess considerable professional experience.

    The sponsoring employer must present the following documents:

    1. Copy of the Articles of incorporation and amendments
    2. Proof of payment of quarterly taxes.
    3. Copy of the legal representatives ID.
    4. Letters of support signed by the legal representative.

    Home Company Corporate Documents: The employee’s home company must execute a notarized letter confirming the employee’s proposed position title, job duties and location of work in Mexico. This letter must have an Apostille or Mexican legalization affixed.

    a. An original university diploma or transcript, or notarized photocopy of the employee’s university degree/transcripts, with an Apostille affixed.
    b. Copy of the employee’s and each family members full passports (all pages, including blank pages).
    c. Current resume.
    d. Confirmation of job title, job descriptions and salary details in Mexico.
    e. Birth certificates with Apostilles for the foreigner and his family.
    f. Marriage certificate with Apostille.

    Validity of the Work Visa: The FM-3 work visa is generally valid for an initial period of one year, with yearly one-year extensions possible. The FM-3 can be renewed for a total validity of five years.

    Documents Required to Apply for a Work Visa
    Once the INM issues the approval notice, the employee and each accompanying family member generally must submit the following documents to the Mexican Consulate when applying for the visa:
    1. Original passport valid for a minimum of 6 months.
    2. Four (4) passport style photographs.
    3. Application form.
    4. Approval notice from the INM
    5. Consular fee.


    Registration for Residence Permit: Once the employee (and family) arrives in Mexico, the employee (and each family member) must register with the INM.

    Timing Restriction to Register: The employee (and each family member) must appear at the INM to register within 30 days of the employee’s and each family member’s arrival into Mexico.

    Penalties for Non-compliance: A fine equivalent to 100 times the minimum wage is levied against a contravening company. This type of infraction could be included in a record, hence slowing down the adjudication process for any future immigration application submitted by the company. A foreign national in violation of the terms of his authorized stay will be expelled from the country.

    Spouse and Children: The accompanying spouse and children should be named on the application of the employee’s work permit application, as the INM will approve the employee and family members together. Once the work permit application is approved, the family’s visa applications can be filed simultaneously with the employee’s visa application.

    Unmarried Partners (Opposite-Sex): Mexico may grant unmarried partners dependent visas based on the length of time the couple has been together and whether or not they have children.

    Unmarried Partners (Same-Sex): Mexico will not grant a same sex partner a dependent visa.

    Ability to Work: Spouses and dependents are not granted work authorization as a derivative status of the employee. Spouses and dependents must obtain their own work visas in order to secure employment in Mexico.

    You are right I have total disdain for those who are lucky enough to be American but choose to disrepect the nation that gives them the freedom to show that disrespect. What an oximoron (lucky to be an American, but nothing about America to be proud of!). If there is nothing about this country to take pride in, then maybe you should find a country you can be proud of and move there. I hear Canada is nice.
