i have been telling my wife about this happening in USA for the last 2 years but she isnt buying it....I might have to go lone wolf!
It is kinda sad to see so many loved ones still blind to what is going on. Good luck with everything
I have been talking to my son about moving to. Mexico. And he has bought into it is to dangerous for me. But the political climate and cost here is to challenging. I can’t get adequate health care and I am going to go lone wolf and hope he will follow.
You said that this is not the type of content you do anymore.
Hmmm 🤔
Maybe we need this more than ever!!
I for one am extremely greatful to be seeing this today!!!
I think after this re-upload I will have to do more videos like this. When I first published this video most people thought I was crazy, seems like most people are finally starting to figure it out and well as you said these kinds of videos are more relevant today than ever. Glad this video was helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this video. I'm going to show it to my daughter. She wants to leave with her children with me. It's just a little complicated, long story, but here in the US we are going through exactly what you were saying. God bless you.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with everything!
Truth! 4 years in Mexico. Never want to go back. Best content yet.
That is awesome! Viva Mexico!
I always watch your videos and this is one of your best videos!! REAL TALK, REAL FACTS !! I have 6 months left in my plan and I'm out !!
Awesome! Thank you! Good luck! You're in the home stretch!
@@JoseArteagaTravels Yes it's awesome and I wish it was tomorrow to tell you the truth!! 😁👍 Thank you and have a great evening..
This video is so true especially today. If I could make Americans understand one thing it would be you are not free in America its an illusion they tell you but its not real. I am so anxious to get my family to Mexico. We have about a year until we will be ready to leave and I am counting the days.
Mexico awaits. Thanks for sharing!
What Americans? You mean North Americans?
@@intotheblue970 I mean the ones that he is clearly talking about in the video.
You are right, you are not free and America wants you dead if you can't pay enough to afford human rights.
Keep speaking the truth Carnal
Will do! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Jose, today was the first time I caught your video, and you re-aired the video from 2019. I swear, EVERY WORD YOU SAID IS TRUE!! I have to get out!! 😮
Wow welcome aboard! Glad you were able to catch the video. Thanks for sharing hope you enjoy the rest of the channel!
It’s true about the taxes. I thought that the IRS was gonna reign in the big corpororations instead Biden lowers the IRS reporting threshold from $20k gross earnings to $600! This pisses me off because they’re now going after the lower class for chickenshit instead of the big money makers. I used to make a decent side hustle on Ebay selling collectibles that I picked up from yard sales but now I’ll have to ask the sellers to provide a receipt so I can keep books on a side gig that was like a hobby to me. At that point it starts being another full time job with less pay, fuck that!
I still can't believe the threshold was lowered to 600. They said they wouldn't do it only to find out this whole year will be year 1 of all this. I can only imagine next years tax season as people find out that havent already. If only they could just print all that money we wouldnt have to pay taxes..... oh wait.....
@@JoseArteagaTravels a lot of people scraping by are in for a rude awakening, and for an added dose of poverty!
I am from Miami too now in Mexico 7+ yes... I miss EastCoast fishery restaurant on the Miami River back in the day but awesome seafood all over Mx 😊
That's awesome! I miss many things from home too pero no joda I would rather have the freedom I have here over a pan con bistek any day! 😅
Glad I left Canada and opened up a bank account in Mexico. The Canadian government seems to feel it can freeze Canadian bank accounts at will.
Viva Mexico!
Same here!
Why would Canada freeze your account? unlees you are a criminal ?
Funny, agree about the wall.
Yup we are seeing it already.....
Hi Jose, Aaron here! After watching this re-uploaded video it hit me that maybe we need to do a group video. Not just me and you, but anyone else who has escaped the U.S. or Canada. Each one of us could tell there own story and give tips on how to GET OUT of DODGE!! Plus have a forum in which people could send in questions for us to answer and to help others Escape the U.S. concentration Camp!!
I have several friends who I know would love to come on such a forum and I'm sure you know a few as well. I'd say 6 or 7 panelists would be great and we could run it for about an hour and a half to 2 hours. I'm sure that it would give a big boost to your channel and we would be able to spread the word in a more comprehensive way. What do you think JOSE??
Hey brother! Sounds like a huge endeavor! I got lots on my plate at the moment but it wouldnt be a bad idea for the future! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@JoseArteagaTravels No Problem!! Whenever you are ready!!!
I’d be down for that Jose :)
I found your channel because it was written on a bathroom wall in Dallas Texas 🤪,,, I’m still looking for a good time bro! 🤪
Awesome! Been to that Buckeys many times! 😅
Please speak your mind in more videos. Needed now more than ever. ❤
Thank you! Will do! Glad you enjoyed the video!
$1600 for a one bedroom apartment. In ma. You are totally right the American dream have die. This guys in the office are destroying America. 😢
Wow that's expensive! Thanks for sharing!
It will be a year on the 26th of this month that I have lived in South America. Eight months in Medellin, six months I will be here in Manta, Ecuador, and a day after Thanksgiving I will be in Lima Pero. I'm playing the tourist visa game for a while until I find a place I love. I spend a little over 1000 a month and save more than I have ever in my life, and I only work maybe 3 hours a day. The food is better and my quality of life has never been better. Also I am not fluent yet in Spanish. If I can do it so can you.
Congratulations! That is awesome! As you already know the most difficult part of everything you have done so far, was take the first step. Everything else is easy. Thanks for sharing!
I'm a few countries behind you but heading in the same direction.
😢 as mexican - American can say you are right the actual administration is destroying 🇺🇸 😢 now is hard to afford the basic
I know, it is only getting more and more difficult each day. Good luck with everything
SORRY BUT it is NOT the current administration that RUINED the USA, it was the people who gave the MOST WEALTHY BUSINESS OWNERS trillions of dollars of a TAX CUT and gave ZERO relief to the middle class and poor - the REPUBLICANS
YOU don't know who to blame for your situation and you probably voted for those CROOKS AND THIEVES ! PUT THE BLAME WHERE IT BELONGS
Great video Jose. I agree 100%. I actually moved to Puerto Vallarta Mexico. Just a heads up, be careful with excessive swearing as I don't want UA-cam to penealize you.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! I dont swear anymore in my videos because of that. This video is over 4 years old
You're welcome and it was great. Gotta be careful of YT rules.@@JoseArteagaTravels
That video is how I discovered you Jose lol, as of now, you were ahead of those hard times and its more revelant
That is awesome! Glad we could take a little trip down memory lane 😎
The propaganda has been going on since I was a kid in the 60s-70s about how "dangerous" Mexico is. I knew it was not true then from long stays in Baja and frequent trips to shop for groceries in Tijuana. Still, even with all this experience spending time in Baja my son and I were unprepared for the stark contrast in living long-term in Mexico vs. our former lives in the U.S. And yes, the freedom...it's all about the freedom for us even though our moods and health and outlooks have vastly improved not to say how much further the money we earn from our online business goes now.
That is great! So happy to hear all that! Congratulations! Viva Freedom! Viva Mexico!
Thank you for the information. I’m a old guy but I’m leaving. 👏👍❤️
Wow you’re right about everything in the USA 🇺🇸 you pay the price to live here and the and no one’s looks happy here.
Thanks for sharing
@JoseArtegaTravels your just speaking facts and reality that the problem in the U.S. has never been solved their issue of giving more freedom to their citizens and just like you said go somewhere where you want to be treated at best and it doesn’t have to be Mexico in fact it can be somewhere else to get more privacy and freedom
Thanks for sharing!
Good ole AOL! I miss hearing "you've got mail".
Jaja yeah the good ol days!
Traveled all over & I will say leaving USA to Mex. has been an Awakening I kid you not ... 1-way tix GDL then moving around now near Merida en Chelem/Progreso ... ❤❤❤❤ perfecto y paraiso
For real it is insane how we are all brainwashed back home to think we got it better. Saludos y Viva Mexico!
México is different and some places here are better than in the USA and viceversa, Yucatán is a great place to live for americans, canadians and europeans because of the difference in the average wage and cost of living.
However, what you said about having to deal with the government and the banking system is just a trade off in México, it is true that we don't "FEEL" the interferance of the government but is certainly there, if you are just an employee the employer is the one in charge of calculating and paying your taxes, so you only receive the net income without any worries about taxes, thats why you don't feel the government hand getting into your pockets.
The same with IVA (kinda like sale taxes, but in reverse, its a buyers tax) which is already in the price tag of every product sold in México, unlike the USA that advertises the price without taxes.
If the bank detects unusual deposits or transfers in your bank account they can actually freeze your bank account without a judicial order and you have the burden to proof the legal source of that money if you want acces to it.
Not only that, here in México most people are unaware and uninterested in politics, so they don't know or don't care about the laws that actually diminish their liberties and purchasing power, in fact most people in here support the Universal Basic Income that AMLO and MORENA are slowly implementing, they actually believe that AMLO is paying for those "ayuditas" rather than the tax payer.
There is no "conservative" party here in México, they call the "PAN" party an extreme right party but that is not true, they actually support the LGBTQ+ agenda, feminist quotas and mandatory renewable energy sources.
My point is that México is more complex than you think, some places like Yucatán are great for Americans but you need to understand that this is because of the purchasing power of the dollar vs the Mexican peso, not because of our policies or government. And obviously México has access to most comodities the first world countries have, at least the comodities that a middle-high income household can buy in the USA, we still lack a few of absurdly and unnecesary luxury services that only exentric rich people pay for.
Like you said some people prefer it in the USA and others prefer it in Mexico. I know things are not perfect or as they seem, thats what I try to bring up on this channel. If you lived in the USA or Canada you would understand. I know its hard to comprehend but things are much better in Mexico these days, if you don't believe me go to the USA and see for yourself. Thanks for sharing
@@samirgomeznovelo746 "There is no "conservative" party here in México, they call the "PAN" party an extreme right party but that is not true, they actually support the LGBTQ+ agenda, feminist quotas and mandatory renewable energy sources."..... okay...so what you're saying is, they ('PAN'), basically support much of the highly controversial & divisive 'woke' bullsh*t that is effectively destroying our society? Got it!
Las croquetas del Versailles, el cortadito, hamburgesa y Bbq... lo haces en Mexico igual. Estoy preparando para irme de Miami tambien. Un studio en Miami 1600 dollares, un apt de un dormitorio $2000, y no hay calidad de vida.
Esta de pipi vivir en Miami. Yo cuando me fui hace 10 años ya estaba horrible, no me puedo ni imaginar como esta la cosa hoy en dia. Saludos y Suerte!
I love this video!! Truth! I love the raw language too. Thank you for sharing this. I’m so happy every day that I moved to Mexico. Freedom!!! I kinda miss your old channel.
Muchas gracias! If you miss my old content and my Raw style you should check out my new channel www.youtube.com/@JoseArteagaUnleashed I had to start over from scratch 😅
Laughed out loud several times. Fucking hilarious and true. 🤣👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yessir. Not a single lie in the whole video.
Get out now while you still can. Or at least, make a plan b and c if necessary to save yourself and your family.
The us govt. wants what you have, at your expense, and will get it by any means necessary.
Thanks, Jose. That was heavy.
Glad the video was so helpful
Great video, I can strongly relate to a lot of this. I just moved to Tijuana earlier this month from Texas because The United States made it very difficult for me to get a K1 visa for my Russian fiancée (US Customs Love to ask questions about this but wont do a damn thing to get her in the USA) so I plan to bring her here to Mexico soon after I finish getting settled in Mexico. I am doing that cross border commute into San Diego and I am still stuck dealing with the USA because I can't afford to make a local wage because I have a lot of debt that needs to be paid from my previous trips to Russia and Turkey to see my fiancée along with the fact that I got ripped off really badly by a major trucking company in 2018 for a CDL which I dropped years ago and the fact that I paid money for my move to Tijuana including to get my temporary residency under economic solvency. Thank you for your videos because they really helped me get my resident card which I got in 1 day in Mexico City with some help from a lawyer. One of these days I would like to either move to Russia or deeper into Mexico like Mexico City or Cancun but I can't right now because I have to pay off a lot of debt so thankfully Tijuana has given me the opportunity to be able to cross the border to San Diego to work but one thing I would like to say is that it is very inconvenient to do this. I usually pay $110 MXN Pesos to park my car at the border every day I cross now because these US Customs officers will harass me and accuse me of crap until they are done searching my car and find nothing and I don't want to take the chance of them or someone trying to plant something in my car because I heard rumors that they do this kind of stuff in Tijuana. So I use the pedestrian lane that takes about 2 hours to get across and try to plan to leave for work 4 hours before my shift begins to go to work so I can catch the trolley to get to work on time because The US is a pain in the but to still have to deal with in my life. I am well aware that some people will work online remotely but I struggle with this because I am not the most tech savy person in the world and it appears to me that all the remote entry level jobs such as customer service want someone to either live in The USA or they pay less then $1000 per month which I can't do when I have large debt payments to make back to the US banking system. Thank you for your videos and inspiration because they were very helpful in getting some of the information that I needed to legally move to Mexico. I also can completely agree with you on the USA too because I lived their my entire life until now, I worked in the prison system as a correctional officer, I still work private security in the USA, and I ran for public office in the USA. All I can say is that the United States is not the country that it used to be anymore and I am very happy to at least be partially out of the USA and I am working towards my goal to eventually be fully out of the USA one of these days because I have had enough of the crap that The USA has put me through. Thank you for your videos and God Bless.
Wow what a story! Thanks for sharing with us! Good luck with everything!
IS NEVER too late to leave the US, but the longer you wait, the more in the toilet you go into debt
Don't think about leaving as a permanent thing, think about it as a vacation for 6 months
That will give you time to get used to it, to see if you can handle it or not, you might hate it or you might love it.
What do you have to lose ?? NADA
Wise words. Thanks for sharing!
Right on!
Viva Mexico!
Amazing video!🎊🎉🙏
Thank you!!
fire Bro!!
Thanks! 🔥
Thank you for sharing. I’ve been talking about this w/my family and peers but they just don’t get it. I can see the mental and physical toll it’s taking on their health but they’re in so much denial I feel trapped at times. I feel I may just have to do this on my own.
That's the way i felt which is why I came out here on my own 6 years ago. Now they come visit me all the time....😅
Your old outro music still plays in my head at the end of your videos lol
Jaja yeah I wonder if people like the New Outro Music or Prefer the Old one? Maybe I should do a poll.... 😅
@@JoseArteagaTravels I personally prefer the old one but respect what ever changes you make. A poll would be interesting though!
Jose, I watch all your videos. Always very informative.
Glad you like them!
When you see that San Diego downtown has more homeless than TIJUANA... you better ask yourself if your still living on the right place.
Thanks for sharing
Jose I'm tired of living in this dump and can't wait to see what the world has two offer!
Good luck to you brother! You can do it!
Going to Playa in August!! 🛫🇲🇽
Wow well said
Thanks!
i like these new camera angle
Awesome! Glad you like them. Maybe I'll bring them back for certain videos. Thanks for sharing!
Someone said that the passport takes more than 8 months, could this be on purpose?🤔🤔🤔
I've heard even longer in some cases in the USA. Here in Mexico a citizen can get their passport the same day they go to the office to ask for it.
I was lucky...surprising that I got my passport during The situation that happened in 2019...I also expedite it to get it faster...yes, I had to pay extra money but I didn't care...I have a friend who works at the Post Office and they told me that it's taking a long time to get it a Passport...more than six months
You can get a passport the same day, with an extra fee of $60. The regular process takes several months, just like any government office.
@@superd0fad0 You can not get a Passport the same day in the USA unless it is an extreme emergency. In fact those emergency same day passports are only given at US Consulates abroad and are for short term use only to travel back to the USA from a Foreign Country. If you have proof that you can get a Valid Passport in the same day please provide the information below. Thank you.
@DandMtravel, It does NOT take 8 months. I got my expired passport renewed last year in less than 1 1/2 months. My granddaughter received her first passport within the same amount of time.. Beware of this type of propaganda,
This is a powerful video my friend and I totally agree. There is so much going on in the world and US right now and most states are in high alert 24-7 most recently even more so all of which make this message even more profound. Please know i am just looking out, if i were you I would mute or edit some of those F bombs to prevent any problems with utube or move the video to your website. Totally a suggestion, my intentions are good and always always i send you and everyone positive energy. 👍
Thank you so much. Yes there is a reason I don't make videos like this anymore. Glad you enjoyed it!
There's contradictory advice about what is needed. First, people who just leave without going to consulate are told to go back to home county and start there. Then, recently people are saying just go to Mexican consulate. Which is accurate?
I agree. You should check out this video for more clarity on the situation ua-cam.com/video/XH9lxrAehSU/v-deo.html
You have mellowed quite a bit since you made this content. Time in Mexico perhaps?
You better believe it! 😅
Jose, you hit the nail on the head! Got to 🚶♂️
Glad to hear the video was so helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Ok I just have to say…I love how much you use the most versatile word in the English language. My favorite word hahahaha FUCK
Jaja yeah I had forgotten how much I used to use that word and others. That was every other word when I was working in kitchens throughout the majority of my life. Maybe I should drop a few more in my future videos just to keep me honest 😅
I agree 😅
Awesome!
So no wonder when i saw one of your videos today i wasnt subscribed. Cause you got a new channel. Second wow. I mean im ready.
Yes I had to start this channel simply because my original channel was censored to death 😅 and at that point I was already making more videos on living in Mexico. Then 2020 happened and I just gave up trying to let people know what was going on..... As we saw from the last several years..... most people are still asleep. I don't make content on that old channel anymore, just this channel...... for now... Stay tuned
Love the AOL memories :)
The good ol days!
It's very difficult for me to leave because I am a widow and my adult children live here. Especially one of my children isn't leaving the US anytime soon.
Now I wonder what's going to happen to the value of houses with this April eclipse🤨
Sorry to hear that, thanks for sharing
I am 45 years old, I think my main concern is when I retire at 60/65 years old the USA will make it hard for people to retire or move to Mexico. I already see the immigration rules are constantly changing.
The USA might be making it more difficult for you but I can assure you Mexico is making it easier. You can watch this video for more info on how to get your residency without having to prove any financials ua-cam.com/video/XH9lxrAehSU/v-deo.html
Tell me about it, right now it's very hard to get a pasaport plus if the federal government closed everything is going to be behind of schedule. We about to enter another war, so people won't have food.
I know things are not going to get any easier. Good luck with everything. I'm sure everything will itself out. Thank you for sharing with us
Yes you can renounce your US citizenship, you have to pay a fee when you apply for that and it can take years until they finalize the process. But you can for sure
It's a bit more complicated than that, but yes ultimately you can eventually renounce your US Citizenship if allowed to do so. Thanks for sharing!
@@JoseArteagaTravels everyone is allowed to renounce as long as they pay their taxes until the end :)
I'm in Merida now, maybe I'll run into you. I'm finding rents really aren't as cheap as on the UA-cam channels tho 2nd day here
You should try checking out some of local Facebook Groups. Here's one of my favorites for rents 10,000 Pesos or Less facebook.com/groups/913642873122019
I've only heard great things about Mérida!! 😍
Awesome!
👍👍👍🥹😳🥹👍👍👍
Agreed 💯
Thanks for sharing 🙏👍🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey there: We've been living and traveling all over central Mexico for almost 11 months now with no plans to return. We ARE getting a new visa stamp every 6 months but we just take a cheapo flight to Tijuana and go to airport immigration and get a new stamp. (We're just doing this to create a paper trail and will get in touch with a Mexican immigration lawyer next year.)
About that in-and-out burger....we had a REALLY good burger before our flight back from Tijuana...there's a Johnny Rockets at the airport there. Was a great burger and fries fix for us!
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing! Viva Mexico!
Saludos Íberoamerica
Saludos!
So I am retired on social security and I travel w/ my service dog. I found someone on Volaris airlines that can get us onto one of their flights but I'm not sure what to expect once I get into Mexico City or Guadalajara with a service dog in the airport. She does NOT fit into a carrier:) I am kinda old but used to traveling back and forth to Hawaii this way. I had to break them in back in the day but I am kinda tired of breaking people in:( Any comments/suggestions? Thanks.
I honestly have no idea how airlines handle bigger animals in Mexico. I suggest asking in some of the expat facebook groups. Another option people do with dogs is that they drive to their destination.
Mexico doesn't provide service dog protection like the US..😮😮
This is exactly what i did in 2019. Sell everything and leave! We all know what happened in 2020.
Long story short, I'm now in Cambodia and its great!
That is awesome! We were ahead of our time! Thank god we left when we did! Thank you so much for sharing!
You can have duel citizen ships
Yes you can
Everyone in Texas has a gun afraid to go out at night sky high food housing no jobs it’s a mess here.
Doesn't sound like fun at all 😅 Thanks for sharing!
Omg Brah I’m looking at moving to Merida
Awesome! Congratulations!
I think you’re missing the point that this is a global issue
Don’t think that it won’t come to Mexico
Yes but Mexico like other countries are better equipped to deal with the storm than a country like the USA where they fight over toilet paper.
@@JoseArteagaTravels this is true
You guys have the community situation worked out
I don’t even know my neighbors here
Just came back from Mérida and was really interested in this video but 😢can’t do the cursing. Maybe someone else has similar information and thoughts without them.
Again this is a very old video. As I mentioned at the beginning of the video this is why I don't use that language anymore. I don't want to deter people from my information over a disagreement over what words to use
José, te falta la bandera de la República de Yucatán. Excelente domingo tengas.
Tienes razon necessito una. Saludos!
José, I really need your help. I’m planning on moving to Mexico in June 2024. I really want to learn Spanish and I’d like to hire someone from Mexico who would like to teach me. Please let me know if you know someone.
Hi there! I myself do not know any Spanish teachers. But I do know of the DuoLingo app which is a Free App to learn Any Language including Spanish
You can renounce your US citizenship. It costs approximately $2600.
It costs more than money. They do an exit interview, plus an FBI Check and IRS Check to see if you owe any taxes. They have to approve you before you can renounce. It's not as easy as it sounds.
@@JoseArteagaTravelsyou also renounce any public government pension including social security VA Federal etc
Is there anyway to get a CCW and what caliber estimated process time
Not in Mexico
You were very "Gangsta" back then, thanks for the replay.
Jaja I was basically right off the boat back then and still full of rage and anger from back home. Living in Mexico has mellowed me out a bit 😅 but trust me I still lose it from time to time. The Cuban in me always has to make an appearance lol
Stop encouraging gringos to come here 😅😂😂 we're full 😅😂
Plenty of room for everybody
We?
It's a joke 🤣@@meatgravylard
I am in Houston. Which city would you recommend I go to with my car? A city that is safe within a 25-50 mile radius of the U.S. Mexico border?
I have only really been to Tijuana and I thought it was great as do many other Americans
funny this video was made in 2019 just before the world practically exploded. At that time I was planning vacations. November 2019 I fell breaking both ankles and my whole world changed. My plans, my perspective, my mental and physical reality all changed. When covid hit I had already been through the hell of isolation and that 'mental shift'. I decided then that I was going to change things. I went to Panama in 2021 scouting for a place to move to. I have watched thousands of videos of places all over the world. I have less than 2 years left before I can collect SS and when that times comes, I am going to leave. I have already downsized, paid off debts and researched the details. I like the job I have and some days think that I will do it forever. But then there are the days that I realize I am not as fast as I used to be, and that creepy feeling that the younger ones are looking at me and wishing I would go away with my vast knowledge so that they can just get things done much faster. In an occupation where safety is so important, going fast means there is more room for mistakes and lives can be lost. I am sure that most people have seen the recent reports of people being seriously injured by MRI 'accidents'. Well that is my occupation. And those 'accidents' are usually created in an environment where the people that work there are not paying attention and not taking safety seriously. Usually much younger and no experience. It is scary and I guess it's time for me to get out. I created my own videos back then with my ankle injuries and have just been chronicling my life's ups and downs since then. When I look back I see how much things have changed in the last 4 years. I am taking a cruise with family next year and I will Make SURE I get that passport STAMP!!!
That is super awesome! Thank you for sharing your story with us! Good luck with all your future endeavors!
A lot angrier than you are today!
Jaja yup that was me right off the boat in 2019. Living in Mexico has mellowed me out a bit 😅
@@JoseArteagaTravels I'm glad things are better 4 U! Keep up the great talks!
Jose why does America has so many laws when America has the highest rate of incarceration, more laws, and it's politically correct! Their Also to many police officers!
More laws = More ways they can arrest you, harass you, and extort you. Which translate to more control. Think about it, everyone lives in constant fear that something they say or do can ruin their whole entire lives and it is all up to the discretion of some corrupt officer or judge or worse..... USA is not a fun place to be these days, not by a long shot.
One of my brothers did 17 years in prison, 2 in the SHU @ Pelican Bay. My other brother is doing 19 years in Folsom State Prison. The 🇺🇸 Prison Complex is no joke.
Wow thats Horrible. Hope they are ok now. Thanks for sharing!
IT'S BIG BUSINESS in the USA to throw anyone in prison because they PROFIT FROM IT
Any country can and will do what they want with you or me.
Correct no where is 100000% safe
When you said, Get the fo* k out of Dodge! Made me laugh out loud! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I left in 1983 because I was told by white supremacists, "You don't belong here!" And after I left, the same white supremacist
attacked me online for leaving!
Best thing we ever did was get the hell out of Dodge! Jaja
I’m leaving the United States by December. I can’t afford to live in the Country anymore. I’m going to Belize. There is nothing in America anymore to keep me here anymore. I’m living just on my Social Security Check. I want to get out before War breaks out in the USA or Civil War. I had my Passport Renewed. I’m taking just 7 Carboard Box’s & an Extra Large Duffel Bag. My Dog is going with me & her Dog Kennel also. I’d like to give up my Citizenship but can’t if I want to Collect my Social Security Check!!
Good luck with everything! Thanks for sharing!
Does that mean my Soc Sec would be stopped if i move to Mexico?
You can collect your social security retirement in Mexico
Have you thought about hosting a podcast once a week?
Yes I have and I might in the future....
Funny I live in Philly. I eat cheesesteak once in a blue moon. Lol I prefer 20 times Mexican food
Good luck with everything. It is not easy, but for many people it will be even more difficult to stay. Thanks for sharing
NO, they can all stay there thanks
ok! Thanks for sharing!
Is it still “Not to Hard” to move to Mexico now and day? Since there is a lot of people moving to Mexico now and days.
It's not difficult to move and live in Mexico. The difficult part is actually leaving the USA
Good morning from the Oregon coast Jose. 4 years ago, Tangerine Tyrant was in charge.🤔 nearing Communism. Yeah sounds about right. Love this video! Currently planning our move to Mexico. Waiting for my passport now.
Hola Buenos Dias!
The lying orange baboon was the last straw for us. Can’t trust a country ignorant enough to vote him into the White House.
@@Mexicobeanpoletrust me, the Clorox Conman will not win in 2024!
hey i have a private question i would like to ask ??
Awesome! You can find out more by following this link www.josearteaga.com/youtube-consultations
How hard is it as an American ti work in Mexico? Do you work outside of UA-cam?
There is plenty of work, but it is all Mexican wages which most people don't want to accept. That is why I encourage everyone to make sure they have some sort of income or online job or plan for a small business when they get to Mexico or they will quickly find themselves without any money. I do not work in Mexico I only do youtube videos
@@JoseArteagaTravelsearning income to live in MX: This IS the problem for most of us 55+ US citizens. Finding a way to GET PAID to support myself abroad when I quit my job. I don't have a house, so nothing to sell.. But I do have debt I'm paying down. I DID ALREADY get the 3-yr Mx temp visa from Puerta Vallarta early this year....even though I'm "too young to get social security" right now.
@@Shirley-N-Maryland You should try into looking at how to make money online so that you can be free to leave the USA and live in Mexico once and for all. If there is a will there is a way. You can do it. If you want it bad enough you will figure it out. Good luck to you. You can check out my website to get you started on finding a job www.josearteaga.com/digital-nomad-jobs
@@JoseArteagaTravels Thank you. I might also do a consult w/ you as you can speak more freely than on You Tube.
@@Shirley-N-Maryland Like his video says, we should all stop being debt slaves.....don't pay the banks.
If it so good. THERE why is everyone trying to got into the USA
Great Question! You are right! No Need to Leave the USA it is the greatest country on Earf! Thanks for sharing!
It’s true that’s the people big fear. Thinking it’s no better place than USA. I live in other countries and I don’t miss USA. At all. I am back. But for a short time, but the big issues is the health programs. Tag places I went the health system it’s sucks and poor. But I know Mexico it’s pretty good. I being there 5 times
Exactly. The longer I live in Mexico the more I ask myself, how did I manage to survive for so long in the USA? I think the main reason the USA keeps its citizens from leaving is because they know that most people will never want to come back once they experience how amazing it is outside of the USA. Thanks again for sharing!
I have been thinking what you are saying for awhile now. It’s just freaking scary with all these laws governing and hovering over women for example it’s just horrifying.
Not quite familiar with the laws you are talking about, but overall things are just No Bueno out there these days. Thanks for sharing
@@JoseArteagaTravels thanks for your knowledge 😊
Amen, U-tube preacher by saying getting the "F" OUT of dodge, which is an invisible prison!
That's right those walls are there to keep you in. I'm sure we can all see that now more than ever. Thanks for sharing!
Yes long time see FATCA / FINCEN Americans are not free to move out
Correct that is also why it is so difficult for an American to open a bank account abroad..... Banks dont wanna deal with all that nonsense....
@@JoseArteagaTravels We're so used to putting up w/ all this shit we don't think about it. I was thinking about this recently. We, esp. in Cali put up with so much Red Tape and taxes on everything. Gas is $6 bucks again and climbing. My rental housing takes 2/3 of my social security which is ridiculous.
@@JoseArteagaTravels exactly that is why many renounce us citizen like tina turner and boris johnson to name the most known lol!!
@@fp2374
Tina Turner renounced her citizenship a while back, I think she was living in Switzerland.
@@Kathryn551
That's terrible. It's like being jailed.
I live in Santa Barbara on a cruising sailboat. You think it's wise to cruise down with a TIP? TIP 10 years FMM is 180 days.
I appreciate your input. Or just sell all this shit
Thanks man
I recently learned that U don't need a TIP if U stay in Baja or Sonora or one other state.
I honestly have no idea how it works with boats my apologies
Tip is only for automobiles....you can sail anywhere in the world.
How will I get my social security down there
Bank transfer, have SS send your $ to B of A or some US bank (all online) and transfer it to a Schwab acct. and withdraw it in Mexico
Transfer from US bank account to yourself here in Mexico
I get mine direct deposited to my old credit union in Wisconsin and I use my debit card for purchases and withdrawals down here just as I did back in Wisconsin. NOTE: if you plan on keeping your US bank or credit union, ask if they’re OK with having you as a customer live outside the U.S. Some are fine with it, others not
Open a scwabb checking account. Have your social security check deposited there.
Give it time, like a couple of month in deposits to make sure it’s working ok.
Then when in Mexico, withdraw money from ATMs at any big bank.
Schwabb doesn’t charge conversion charges or service charges. All transactions are free of fees.
Mexico 🇲🇽 is unaffordable now
Sorry to hear that, thanks for sharing
2025!
Thanks for sharing!
I want to go back to Lo De Marcos
