Mexicans Angered as a Record Number of Americans Move South

[Epoch Times] Mexico has seen a rapid increase in the number of Americans choosing to live in the country since the pandemic started a new trend of remote work.

Nearly 1.6 million Americans live in Mexico, according to the U.S. State Department. Many of them are digital nomads and have chosen destinations like Mexico City, Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, and Mazatlan to call home. The reason is simple: it’s much cheaper to live there than in the United States.

One would imagine the influx of Americans migrating to Mexico with more buying power would be a boon for the economy, especially as the dollar remains strong against the peso. But for some Mexicans, that boon is a nightmare.
"Yanqui go home!"
"It’s not as simple as spending your money here is good for the economy," says Carriane Garcia, a Mexico City native. "Foreigners drive up prices, and certain neighborhoods are basically catering to them instead of the locals. It’s definitely a problem."

#1 Saying things like "Foreigners drive up prices" in America is racist.

But if it's us in Mexico? An obvious statement.

#2 These are the same people who 'encouraged' Indios y Mestizo to head to El Norte.

#4 I suspect that the immigrants from California are likely to be self-centered jerks, not uniformly but at a higher than randomly selected percentage of American. Just a deductively formed guess on the level of Mr Green with a candlestick in the ballroom.

#5 ^So people who know better than all their fellow citizens would know better than Messicans, right?

#6 A friend of mine is out in California near San Francisco. He says he is paying 6 bucks a gallon for gas. Escape from Kalifornia?

#7 If I ran a Mexican state I'd dedicate a town to Yanquee migration. Set up high speed internet and encourage Starbucks to show up. Then reap the tax benefits and graft.
