    i love mexico it’s one of my most favourite places to visit in the world. when you leave the tourist traps and get out and experience the real mexico you will discover such a beautiful and amazing culture and more importantly how beautiful and kind and welcoming the people are.

    THIS IS AN ADVISE TO ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO HAVE PEACE OF MIND RETIREMENT LIVING AND FOR THOSE WHO PLAN TO DO PART TIME LIVING IN MEXICO..
    MEXICO IS A VERY NICE PLACE TO LIVE
    MEXICAN PEOPLE IS VERY FRIENDLY AND WE REALLY LIKE BE REAL FRIENDS NO MATTER WHAT
    WE REALLY WELCOME PEOPLE AND WE ARE NOT INTERESTED FOR ANYTHING BUT FRIENDSHIP
    AND ITS TRUE IF YOU DONT BOTHER NOBODY YOU AINT BE BOTHER BY SOME ONE.
    AND HAVE THIS IN MIND
    IF YOU SEE A MEXICAN IN THE STREETS OF THE STATES MOST OF US ARE FRIENDLY PEOPLE AND NOT WHAT THE POLITICIANS SAY AND THINK..

      @catothewiser the world is vast. Simpletons can't help it, they have to shrink every possibility into a binary existence. Good and bad. Unless you want these people moving in with you so they can emulate your life until they do and think like you do, then you should accept that Mexico will sort things out and these people are not doing anything bad or wrong, there just trying to enjoy their life. America treats it's bottom 50% like garbage. Why should they live exactly like you do. How many Americans that work for you, that you pay more than they agreed on so your not taking advantage of them? Or maybe you don't pay anybody to work for you at all. America is to expensive for many people to live without going on welfare and food stamps. The American government makes it very easy to let it's citizens move to mexico. As long as you go to America one 24 hour day per year then your allowed to spend the rest of your time in mexico. The American government prefers people live in Mexico instead of staying in America and needing welfare. Mexico likes it when Americans move to Mexico. Mexico wouldn't let them otherwise. This whole obsession with the immigrants and border started with Obama. Wasn't considered a big deal before Obama shut down the border and deported 3 million people. Mexico doesn't care about the Obama Trump doctrine on immigration

    I am soon to be 40 and I am two months away from taking my two kids, 8 and 11, to live with my mom in her native town very close to Mazatlan. I personally love it down there, my kids do too. It is safe, even though main stream media says it is not, and very low cost of living. Believe it or not, my kids will get a cheaper yet better education than what I can afford them in Los Angeles. I can't wait to go...

    Try like 700 pesos a day for a maestro; $50 USD per day. A common construction work makes 500 pesos per day with some experience. Still -- the incomes are modest. I own a very-very nice casa with large swimming pool, 5.5 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, near the Sea of Cortez. Just amazing. Taxes? $100 USD per year because I receive a 50% discount for being over 60. Life here is pleasantly less expensive and less complicated. Don’t need all that government - which is expensive.

They into Ellis Island and my great great great grandfather took a picture OF GIVE US YOUR HUNGRY , YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR" . THAT IS WHAT AMERICA IS. Not give us the Scandinavians that have carpet that matches the drapes as Trump so eloquently said when he said," why can women from Norway move here instead of mexicans. I've had enough mexicans." He's living proof that our national IQ has dropped about 30 pionts. Putin and Kim Jong are his BFFs. And you NEVER EVER FUCKING ASK AN AXIS COUNTRY TO INVESTIGATE POLITICAL LEADERS IN YOUR COUNTRY.

I told my husband what TRULY Pisces Americans off is when mexicans come here as not not just don't try, they REFUSE to learn English because they want to stay true to the culture. If that's how you feel then DON'T COME HERE EVER, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE IF THAT'S YOUR ATTITUDE. My great great great great grandparents forbid the speaking of Norwegian in the household until everyone was fluent in English and my family's last name was actually Pedersen but they had too many Pedersen that day so our last name was changed to shelstad and we were told we would be living in Montana because since we were from Norway we could tolerate cold and we were told to be farmers because that what was needed in America at that time. My family were fisherman no one had ever farmed anything but my fsmily read books and learned very a quickly and farming is good because everyone had a job, we're employed because there were 18 kids so they didn't have to hire outside help, all 18 kids worked the land. Manual labor is good for the soul. I used to get so pissed here when I'd be at the grocery store and there would be a 300lb Mexican woman in front of me with 7 kids, couldn't speak a word of English and she pulls out a foodstamp card and I had been denied foodstamp and was trying to subsist on 83$ dollars a month for food, I weigh 90lbs because I'm kind of starving to death and she's got 275$ worth of food in her car but I haven't seen that since they passed SB 1070.

The victims of the AMERICAN/ MEXICO drug problem are the 99% of Mexicos citizens who have nothing to do with drugs. American citizens that have nothing to do with drugs have it made in the USA. Drug addicts here suffer from the drug problem because they make the decision to use. The rest of USA citizens aren't really impacted. Innocent Mexican citizens are the ones who pay the price...

Because we are from the empire! The empire that is now one step from a SH because of immigrants and refugees the English are the least liked expats here because of their attitudes so I wouldn't be talking about us Trump supporters you wanker.

      Nomad Wizard never said anything about being a tough guy just said you better be tough to live in Mexico unless of course you live like 98% most expats,especially all the English in a gated guarded area with a 12 ft fence with razor wire on the top!? Guess what the same people,that are against the wall between Mexico and the US all Iive in gated armed guarded communities here just like the liberals in the US at least the ones that can afford it?? You must be English to be so offended and when is the last time you lived in Mexico dumbo! If the wall won't work then wouldn't it be wise of the liberals to give our president all the money in the world and then when it doesn't work they can use it to get him out? If I was an anti Trump person I would be pushing for my congressman to give president Trump all the money and more would be a great advertisement in the simmer of 2020,no?
