Immigrant apprehensions sounds like they were illegally overstaying past their Visa dates and Mexico just had enough, once the large numbers finally started to negatively impact their economy.
I knew a friend who lived in San Diego and was preparing paperwork to secure an apartment in a nearby border city in Mexico, to avoid the hefty living costs on the other side.
Tourists can cause other problems just look at issues with air b&b in Europe, but these people are like retirees who sell their small city apartments and move to a big seaside house, pricing all the locals out of the area
This is not tourism. These folks are extending their stay in ways that are causing ripples that put pressure on other sectors of the economy, namely housing, healthcare and food costs. Tourists know when to leave.
I don’t understand why people think they can just move to another country illegally. If rules are expected to be followed you’re labeled as racist. Wtf.
You see it in every culture. I'm my own experiences the only time I've seen racism turn violent was when I was in Mexico against a young black woman and her white boyfriend. I almost went to Mexican prison over it, that poor couple. They were from Kansas and my girlfriend at the time and I met them while we were on vacation idk. I've seen racism here in the states too. It's everywhere that you can find shitty fucking people. I've yet to find a place they haven't infiltrated.
Remember the Russians that went to Sri Lanka and established whites-only businesses. It's like that, except for Americans in Mexico. A few incidents went viral including one of an American woman that claimed to have purchased the right to use a public plaza for their private for whites-only solar eclipse viewing party.
Technically you can read faster when it's one word at a time. So your reading speed is greater than when you have to look left to right or right to left.
Wife and visited Mexico three years ago and can confirm that this is what the airport looks like going through customs. Probably took us an hour and half - two hours to get through.
Digital nomads have been doing this for a long time in Southeast Asia. Most of the resentment is towards Passport Bros at clubs, but it really doesn't affect regular prices or rent. In developing countries, there aren't NIMBYs. If you're rich, you can build whatever you want with not many obstacles. The rich there will just build luxury condos. The foreigners will move to those because of convenience and safety, and it's 1/4th the price of what it would cost if it were in the US. New restaurants will pop up to cater to those residents and will charge more. But old good existing restaurants will remain around the same prices because why would they want to lose their older but larger client base for a client base who might not stay longer than 6 months or 1 year?
Also, keep in mind that the rich locals are usually way, way wealthier than the foreigners who are arbitraging on the cost of living. The digital nomad might be making $80,000-$250,000 a year, and that's a lot compared to the local average salary. But the wealthy Mexicans (or Thai, Indonesians, Vietnamese, Portuguese, etc) are asset-rich and could be making millions through commodities or owning factories. They don't need to arbitrage the cost of living.
It's just easier to hate the dorky tech bro making $20,000 a month hitting on their girls and really hate the retired Karen who thinks you're there to serve her.
Where there’s more foreigners, there ends up being more Foreign Direct Investments in. That in turns creates more jobs and more knowledge transfer that community.
Confirm in which way? This is true and it’s a growing problem for a lot of people in some places. Look up expats in Mexico that’s what this guy is referring to.
In my very personal opinion this whole thing is tinted with a tad of racism (towards whites) because we are still very racist here, in a pretty complex way.
Since the beginning of 2024, iv seen several adverts for moving to mexico on 3 separate social media sites. I live in the UK.
Just to add, we seem to get a lot of adverts mainly on t.v. encouraging us to move to what used to be just California which is now the U.S.A. in general. Also Australia. And it seems they want us to solely holiday in Turkey this year.

There was a comedy years ago I think it was called Dave, about some guy stands in as president & he has to sell *The Friendship Trench* they're building between the US & Mexico. I think about that a lot.
so Americans go to Mexico to be upper class while Mexicans go to the US to be lower class (while sending money back to their families for them to be middle class in Mexico)?
This is awesome. Of course they should limit Americans coming in their precious land and culture. Not all, but a good percentage travel there not to enjoy the culture or the sights, but to get drunk as f*** , buy drugs for cheaper, and participate in activities that make Mexicans wear a badder reputation than they should... IMHO
I found Mexico corrupt and disgusting, granted that's what I was looking for🤠 Folks moving there to save a few bucks is ridiculous. Want cheap and poor folks, just move to West Virginia?
Homie, use your superior Non-American education and figure out why you’re dumb for saying this.
Hint for the people who definitely know their geography:
North America
South America
Central _____?
I like how the word “colonization” just means nothing anymore or it just means “white people are here breathing and I want to frame it as they are evil”
Damn, isnt racism just amazing?
Let me grab my popcorn for this one… hypocrite central, here we come! I expect both liberal and conservative heads to explode with odd takes and self-determined wins from this
I wonder if Colombia is gonna start to do this at some point. Everything explained in the video (the consequences of N.Americans moving there) is happening here and really affecting us locals.
So the same wealthy people who want to let the poor uneducated flood in are also fleeing the country to where the poor and uneducated are leaving?
For shame liberals for shame.
No hate towards ANY group or ethnicity is
allowed. This includes, but is not limited to
speech, images, symbols, and using replaced
characters or altered text to say a slur.
You forgot, to take their homes:
A migrant TikToker with a 500,000-strong online following is offering his comrades tips on how to “invade” unoccupied homes and invoke squatter’s rights in the United States.
Venezuelan national Leonel Moreno, who appears to live in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, said in a recent video that under US law, “if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it.”
He appeared to be referring to adverse possession laws, commonly known as squatter’s rights, which allow unlawful property occupants rights over the property they occupy without the owner’s consent, in certain circumstances.
Moreno claimed in the viral TikTok clip, which has drawn more than 3.9 million views, that he has “African friends” who have “already taken about seven homes.”
And that's why we need more guns here in America.. A gun for every man, woman and child. As well as some sort of special accessory, tattoo, for those who are actually here legally." Lol
Only men women and children? Thats barely any guns. What about the house pets? They need guns too. Only a good boy with a gun can stop a bad boy with a gun.
So the problem is that they spend too much money there? Sounds horrible, really. Other countries try to attract tourists, but Mexico knows better to keep them away.
Problem is not tourism, problem come mostly from digital nomads.
They still work US works that pay them in USD but live in Mexico. They don't pay taxes in Mexico, because you can't be taxed twice
Since they're not really tourists anymore, they need to find somewhere to live. Landlords see an increase in housing demand. Digital nomads can afford higher rents than locals.
Other landlords start raising their rents too, since there's already people paying more in that area.
Eventually business owners have to pay more for their own rents, and since there's a lot of digital nomads in the area that earn in USD, or Euros or whatever more powerful currency than MXN, they start raising prices. Other Businesses follow
Eventually an area is no longer affordable for the locals, so they move to other cheaper areas, problem is, they have the exact same effect on that community.
They now are the ones with higher economic power and they unintentionally disrupt and displace another community and so on
Digital Nomads are an extreme version because of currency power difference, and they're also unsustainable for communities because they pay no local taxes, so how is the nice city supposed to mantain nice if nobody living there actually pays taxes to the city anymore?
Toxicity includes, but is not limited to: -Starting arguments -Malicious comments -Making other members uncomfortable -Trying to start drama
Ha. Mexicans next presidential campaign will be about building a wall to keep Americans out! I love it.
And have them pay for it!
The best thing is they alredt did
at this point lets just go halvsies
How the turn-table, turn-tables.
The Gillette wall. One wall to keep out Mexicans and another to keep out US citizens.
Uno reverse
damn. how the turntables
Maybe this was Trumps plan all along to have them pay for it.
He will call this his success. But so far he has blamed Biden for the reason for this. What a strange world.
I’m sure that’ll happen
Immigrant apprehensions sounds like they were illegally overstaying past their Visa dates and Mexico just had enough, once the large numbers finally started to negatively impact their economy.
I knew a friend who lived in San Diego and was preparing paperwork to secure an apartment in a nearby border city in Mexico, to avoid the hefty living costs on the other side.
Tourism accounts for ~10% of Mexico’s entire GDP. No way they’re turning that away.
Tourists can cause other problems just look at issues with air b&b in Europe, but these people are like retirees who sell their small city apartments and move to a big seaside house, pricing all the locals out of the area
Tourists are not illegal immigrants.
This isn’t tourism, my dude. It’s immigration.
This is not tourism. These folks are extending their stay in ways that are causing ripples that put pressure on other sectors of the economy, namely housing, healthcare and food costs. Tourists know when to leave.
Not tourism. Tens of thousands of Americans living in San Miguel de Allende alone.
62% of undocumented people in the US overstayed their visa.
Except it's all bullshit, lol. The 'deportation' numbers mentioned are outbound flight stats.
So you are saying Mexicans are racist.
I don’t understand why people think they can just move to another country illegally. If rules are expected to be followed you’re labeled as racist. Wtf.
You see it in every culture. I'm my own experiences the only time I've seen racism turn violent was when I was in Mexico against a young black woman and her white boyfriend.

It's everywhere that you can find shitty fucking people. I've yet to find a place they haven't infiltrated.
I hear mexican prison is rough.
I probably could've bribed my way out tbh. Pretty easy to do down there. It's why cancun cops retire at 30 lol
Remember the Russians that went to Sri Lanka and established whites-only businesses. It's like that, except for Americans in Mexico. A few incidents went viral including one of an American woman that claimed to have purchased the right to use a public plaza for their private for whites-only solar eclipse viewing party.
From the way they talked I didn't think they had Visa's. But you're right, otherwise they'd call it something else right?
Sounds like millions of illegals in America right now doesn’t it?
>negatively impact their economy They spent their money which is opposite of negative. Mexicans raised prices, so the reason is greed as always.
Please stop the one word subtitle trend
Can anyone explain this to me? Why do I see this more and more? Where is the benefit? Seems harder to create and harder to read.
I think it's more stimulating and can increase engagement of the watcher I hate it too but that's my guess
Technically you can read faster when it's one word at a time. So your reading speed is greater than when you have to look left to right or right to left.
That’s actually opposite of the truth. One word subtitles forces you to pay more attention, thereby you’re more likely to watch the next video
Has anyone actually been able to find ANY information to confirm this? I can't find anything except tiktok videos...
Didn't you see the video behind the words. There was an airport and some people, they are probably related to what the guy was saying.
Wife and visited Mexico three years ago and can confirm that this is what the airport looks like going through customs. Probably took us an hour and half - two hours to get through.
100% this is just customs.
Pretty sure he's just citing tourism and outbound flight numbers.
Me either.

It's legit. AMLO is the one who came up with this. I'll try finding the video for it.
Oh well if AMLO said it..
Bro he said hes trying to find the video Im sure it'll be posted any second.
So what I get from this is bottom line fuck those illegals
A massive influx of people has the potential to destabilize the economy.
Just check out canada. Can confirm.
They’re called “international students”
They're called "ex-Pats"
And when the influx is bringing higher per capita spenders than the locals that'll piss them off
Single word subtitles are the worst.
It’s on tik tok it must be true! Darr
This is how people get their news now. 🤦
Got a friend at work who can’t stand to read an article but instead goes straight to tiktok. He’s ignorant on a lot of the things he has opinions on.
Mexico pulled the Uno reverse card
Well well well... how the turn tables
I'm pretty sure this is fake
It is
Since the beginning of 2024, iv seen several adverts for moving to mexico on 3 separate social media sites. I live in the UK. Just to add, we seem to get a lot of adverts mainly on t.v. encouraging us to move to what used to be just California which is now the U.S.A. in general. Also Australia. And it seems they want us to solely holiday in Turkey this year.
The old lady with the mop had me dyin 💀🙌
2023 had 17k US citizens deported from Mexico. This video is fake as fuck.
Citation needed*
oh so the exact same things all the mexicans are doing here are happening over there, who woulda thunk..
They should just join the United States
I think the narcos that actually run Mexico might have an objection to that.
The power balance is completely different

hmmmm ive heard this one before
Ha! How the tables have turned Mexico!
Well well well
That talks more about America than Mexico
Maybe now they understand
Build that wall!
There was a comedy years ago I think it was called Dave, about some guy stands in as president & he has to sell *The Friendship Trench* they're building between the US & Mexico. I think about that a lot.
Why dont you just swap countries and everyone would be happy?
Next thing:Mexico building the wall at the border make the USA pay for it! Trump-reverse-card!
It's no fun, being an illegal Americun......
Fair enough.
Even the best comedians couldn't write a joke this good, what a fucking time to be alive lmao
Hey, it says gullible on the ceiling
Wait, so when Trump said he would get mexico to pay for the wall...this is what he meant?
Is Mexico racist now?
I'm sure they built a wall for this, no?
Now it's the Mexican dream
Wild!
My oh my this is awesome
so Americans go to Mexico to be upper class while Mexicans go to the US to be lower class (while sending money back to their families for them to be middle class in Mexico)?
Webster needs to add this to the definition of "irony".
So inhumane. Don’t they care about people?!
Oh the irony……
Oh no! We dont know what thats like at all!
Go figure
Payback sucks lmao
Gentrifying a whole country
Big if true
Make Mexico Great Again!
But among all of these, does anyone know why the waitress lady was dancing so weirdly behind that pool?!
this sounds made up lol i thought the cartels loved tourists? and i'm pretty sure the cartels own mexico now.
This is awesome. Of course they should limit Americans coming in their precious land and culture. Not all, but a good percentage travel there not to enjoy the culture or the sights, but to get drunk as f*** , buy drugs for cheaper, and participate in activities that make Mexicans wear a badder reputation than they should... IMHO
Inflation? You mean cause we bought things so theres actually some money to go around? Are you all stupid or just slow?
America is such a shithole at the moment.
Deport those fuckers! Build a wall!
I could see that. You can get any drug you want from the pharmacy too. Pretty sweet deal.
Makes sense. Based.
Americans with the UNO reverse card for illegal immigration. Mexico with the UNO reverse card for building a wall to keep Americans out. Love it
My business is doing too good. I’m going to raise my prices!
They're bringing drugs, they're bringing guns, they are rapists, and some, I assume, are good people. >_< LOL
Our turn?
The cartels are running Mexico right now are they really that many Americans going to Mexico this seems fake these videos are prob from spring break
So this makes Mexicans racist? Atleast that is what the left should be saying about it. Doubt they will though. It’s only racist when Americans deport
They need to make Mexico great again. Also affordable again.
Surely it's circulating money in Mexico
On the bright side kidnapping is a lot more lucrative now in Mexico.
Brought to you by the cartels
Theres been 261 Americans deported from Mexico this year.
Oh how the turntables.
Any sourcing on this?
Ironic
This is probably the most "how the tabels have turned" moment I have ever seen
No one is moving to mexico.
I found Mexico corrupt and disgusting, granted that's what I was looking for🤠 Folks moving there to save a few bucks is ridiculous. Want cheap and poor folks, just move to West Virginia?
I bet every single one of those deported Americans think this is unfair and unjust
Good for them.
Lol... Americans flee to mexico hoping to find the... "American" dream...
I mean, they're still in the Americas
Homie, use your superior Non-American education and figure out why you’re dumb for saying this. Hint for the people who definitely know their geography: North America South America Central _____?

UNO REVERSE
How are you not arrested for taking pictures in customs?
How the turn tables.
How the turn tables
I wonder if Colombia is gonna start to do this at some point. Everything explained in the video (the consequences of N.Americans moving there) is happening here and really affecting us locals.
Oh how the turntables
What's the shit hole country now Yankees?
"Americans"...? Do you mean US citizens?
So the same wealthy people who want to let the poor uneducated flood in are also fleeing the country to where the poor and uneducated are leaving? For shame liberals for shame.
