I like the driving and you talking about stuff.
The gringos that Mexico doesn’t like are probably the same ones we don’t like either!
100000000% on point! LOL
@@JoseArteagaTravels funny
the gringos that Mexico don't like are the ones who try to change Mexico into what they left benind, that try to change our culture and traditions,. Mexicans are a very patriotic and proud people that would gladly give their lives for Mexico.
Mexican also have very big balls, so this is kind of a warning to those who move there and try to force change.
Even gringos don't like gringos.
@@JohnnyJackson746that’s a very very super Mexican thing too!
We were just vacationing in Jalisco and visited Ajijic and we walked into a restaurant and most of the clients were gringos and keep in mind I’m from Tijuana a true Mexican by birth and citizenship, and they looked at us as if we were out of place and lost. That’s amazing, I couldn’t believe I felt like a foreigner in my own country.
Wow that must have been an interesting experience. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, well try being an American that speaks only English and then you get lost driving in Miami. I walked into a gas station with at least 10 customers in it to ask directions. Not ONE person spoke English.
Welcome to our reality.
Another added thing is that all through COVID crisis. Mexico was one of the very few countries whose border was open to tourism. I visited Mexico for that purpose and It is a great country. Mexicans are very polite people you will never get hostility from them like you would in US or Europe. But so many of these foreigners don't attempt to learn the language and way of life there. They still think they are in their own country. You need to respect Mexico and it's culture.
That sounds like a problem bro. 🤔😄
You could be looking too far into it.
I am Mexican and the biggest issue for us I believe is the price raise that comes with expats when they stay in mainly a few of our best areas…and the lost of good value that comes with it. When expats come here they love the “cheap” prices but they usually pay over the asking price (I.e. keep the change, tipping over the local maximum 15%). The effect is that quality standards are usually lower, prices get higher… we are then excluded from those areas just cause it is ridiculous to buy or pay anything there since it is a rip off or because we can’t afford it. Then expats ask houses to have water filters or a smoke detector or AC or another thing that you - not us - consider a must have at a house. The effect on that is that the real state offer changes becomes premium, at premium prices and we can’t afford it or we are not willing to pay ridiculous prices for things we don’t need. For me that is the problem: I don’t mind if you don’t speak fluent Spanish but I do mind that now Mexicans can’t afford rent. It is crazy that many expats left the us because of gentrification but they are bringing it here. So do come, but be mindful in how you spend your money and where you stay. Ask the locals what is the fair price for things and pay just that. That alone would be deeply appreciated by us locals.
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. The way I see it is you gotta follow the money. Eventually businesses will go back to catering to the locals to make money because the expats might not be a sustainable income source. But at the end of the day foreginers are not taking over the whole country just certain areas, thats why its called gentrification. Eventually things will even out, but right now it's going to rough in several areas as this all takes place. Also side note when the Dollar and the Euro Fall there wont be many expats that can afford all that luxury, but the typical Mexican will be able to afford it. Patience grasshopper
We throughly did our research bc as African-Americans we have lived through the struggles and would not cause those struggles on others. We understand that this is your home that you are graciously allowing us to be in. So no worries with my family of 5. Besides we have been pinching money here to spend at the local facilities. We want to be part of you for life!
Also we are renting our home to Nicaraguans who simply need a helping hand up in this blah country. Losing money that I could make to give back.
expats? you mean immigrants?
Bingo exactly why also we don't trust Americans tbh because of what happend in texas when mexicans let the settlers coming in and boom took texas away from Mexico then arizona,California for their damn manifest destiny etc and finally the gadsden purchase threatening us to sell everything or go to war thats another reason history repeats itself! Also the USA sent expeditions to California before they took over thats why James k polk used the manifest destiny crap as an excuse to invade as well once they found gold 😤
If you immigrate to Mexico, you could start by calling yourselves "immigrants" instead of "expats". Learn the language and integrate yourselves to the community, instead of expecting locals to adapt to your customs.
Well said thanks for sharing!
I call them immigrants when i go visit my home country. Gotta let them know what they are
If you’re gonna move to Mexico don’t take your entitled ass mentality.
You are 100% right. Whem people.moves into the states they call us inmigrants or aliens.
The Hipster Invasion has begun
Sounds about right lol
The locals are saying because of gringos, the cost of living is costing them higher. Now I don't feel welcome in Mexico.
You should watch this video for more context ua-cam.com/video/QuCVQUap68k/v-deo.html

I am loving that I moved here to Mexico right on time! You contributed to our decision, FYI. Although we opted for Campeche instead of Merida…… I still adore your videos of Merida. I realize that many areas of Mexico have become “Gringo-fied”. It does worry me a bit….. only because I don’t want Gringo culture to ruin it. I know, it sounds weird coming from a gringa, but ….. we all love Mexican culture!
Not weird at all! Viva Mexico!
This work of the television station "Once", helps to know migration processes that have already taken place before in Mexico. It's not the first time. They are groups that have already adapted and assimilated. ua-cam.com/video/cjSa3uvVUQc/v-deo.html
@@JoseArteagaTravels Hate USA from Mexico love canada ♥️🇲🇽🇨🇦♥️🤜🇺🇲
Go back to USA 🇲🇽🤜🇺🇲
Just leave, just like you tell foreigners to leave the U.S,
It's because people move down there and wanna act STUPID and NOT BE RESPECTFUL
Humans are the worst sometimes.
I’ve had this issue in my own neighborhood. I don’t live in Mexico but I live in NY and the property values in my neighborhood have gotten out of hand because people moved here and pushed the prices up. That is something I worry about happening in Mexico and it’s unfortunate that people like me are the cause of it.
Gentrification is nothing new and happens all over the world. It's funny how we always look at those who hate the change but we never ask the locals what they think of the change. The reason being is because many more people actually welcome the change and that is why it happens in the first place. Mexico is now growing and this is going to continue to be the norm all over Mexico for the time being. Thanks for sharing!
@@JoseArteagaTravels That's true. I think it is inevitable that Mexico will continue to change. As more people continue to move there. I think this will happen more around the world where it won't be a place that is one culture. Living in NY I see it all the time. People have come here from all over the world and it seems as if Mexico and other countries like it are next on people's radar.
The only tricky part for me is if I left America. I would leave America to go somewhere different. For a different lifestyle and mentality. I wouldn't want to leave America just to go somewhere that is just like America and that is something I am afraid could happen in Mexico.
@@amiyrbarclift1640 It wont happen, each country is still very unique and has its own culture that will not change in a few years, or change ever. Thanks for sharing!
@@JoseArteagaTravels Okay I hope so. Your videos have definitely helped me to consider Mexico as my next home. When I do leave here I hope to find something new. Not the same old same big city American lifestyle.
Jose (Tell Everybody) forget Mexico, You're opening the Country of Mexico to them... lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ok! Thanks for sharing!
Growing pangs. It happened and is continuing to happen in the USA. Now the shoe is on the other foot. I really love that Mexico is growing; however, I hope they don't lose their culture. I love their culture and their people. Thank you Jose for keeping it real.
Thanks for sharing!
Born in California but living in Mexico as a a citizen for almost a year now. My mom is from Mexico so I was able to get citizenship by birthright. I try to obey local customs such as tipping only 10-15%, not tipping taxis, etc. It's been easier for me to assimilate since I understand the culture and I love it here. I stay away from expat groups and cringe at that word. Maybe because I'm also a citizen, look like a local, can speak Spanish, I've never once felt unwelcome.
Thanks for sharing!
I can relate the your comment about never feeling at home in the USA. I feel at home in Mexico. I stay away from expat oriented things. I love Mexico, the people of Mexico are what make it a great place to live.
Viva Mexico Compadré!
@@JoseArteagaTravels Hate USA from Mexico love canada ♥️🇨🇦🇲🇽♥️🤜🤜🇺🇲

I agree with your sentiment, but I want to add a few things. I befriended a young lady from DF who sold stuff on college campuses in SoCal. She invited to visit her home in DF and met the family. They liked me. Sadly, tragedy struck them several times, and on 3 occasions I was in a position to help out, which I did without hesitation or desire for compensation. Things in Mexico are a bit different. Once the family matriarch passed away, and I was there with her and 8 or10 teenagers, the moment it happened, and the ambulance service that transports the deceased wanted cash right then and there, so I paid them. Another time, my friend's eldest sister's husband died in an auto accident and his family was trying to steal the business he created from her., and he worked in the USA, legally, for about 6 years, and sadly she was unaware off her rights to garner death benefits from the Social Security Administration for their 3 children ($20,000 in annual benefits then), so I sent her a packet with all the info she need, which was no easy feat and took 2-3 days to get because I included instructions on where to go in DF to get things done. I always sit down with people that I can help, and when it's appropriate say: "let me show something..." You need to be both student and teacher to succeed.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Just to let you know never generalized, because Mexican are very well educated and many make a good income, the sad part about it is that some people sees us as not well educated
If you listen to the whole video and watch other videos on my channel you will quickly see how feel exactly the same way as you do. Mexico is an amazing place with even more amazing people. I am proud to call Mexico my home
My how the tides are turning.
Kind of ironic don't you think?
I am an American Latino just like you but I also plan on living in Latin America either my parents country of Guatemala or somewhere else in the region. I am not against some Anglo Americans moving down there but they need to integrate into Latin culture. American culture does have a lot of good things but it also has a lot of Ugly that is best if it doesn't migrate down there such as consumerism on steroids, how superficial dating is, how people are so image based in America, how out of control feminisms has gotten and half the population is medicated on "health issues" that can be cured just by being close with your family. Though not perfect Latin culture has plenty of beautiful things about it. I hope Americans really adapt and don't ruin the region.
Thanks for sharing
No estás en contra porque tú puedes pagar en Guatemala lo mismo que ellos, pero si te hubieras quedado jodido en Guatemala, ni EN TUS SUEÑOS MÁS REMOTOS, puedes aspirar ni siquiera a rentar cercas de las mejores colonias que seguramente tu vivirás, porque así viven los “anglosajones” en LATAM, finalmente para eso te fuiste, para mejorar, felicidades, pero no vengan a joder a los que no pudieron irse, eso es lo que hacen con la gentrificación, no tienes idea, ojalá pudiera crear contenido y poder mostrarte, que personas en SU PROPIO PAÍS, son despojadas de sus casas, pierden derechos incluso de visitar playas, deben hablar inglés para conseguir un trabajo de mesero, y muchas cosas más, sin embargo, entiendo que busques lo mejor para ti y nada más, todos hacen lo mismo.
Racism is different from being a bigot, as a racist has power to affect your well-being.

Awesome video , I agree with you. I married Mexican woman and now live in Mexicali but work in US. We live in a neighborhood that's 99% Mexicans. The very first weekend we moved in my brand new neighbors showed more hospitality than my previous home that I lived at for 6 years in the US. I can say I absolutely love my neighbors and the friendly people I see here on a daily basis.
I find that if I'm respectful they are exactly the same with me. Keep up the amazing content amigo
Congrats on the Marriage! Yes Totally this is the only place outside of my childhood home where i actually know all of my neighbors and the whole neighborhood! Viva Mexico!
I watched a handful of videos on here and yours is the most authentic. Love it.
Thank you!
Hey guys I’m Mexican, born in Yucatan, and I been following you in the Facebook group also cause I’m interested in your concerns as most of Mexicans, cause we love you guys wherever come from, we follow in Mexico the doctrina Estrada wich means: Is a statement in which it is argued that no nation can intervene in the internal affairs of another. So we prefer peace ☮️ with ALL countries, 🇷🇺🇧🇷🇺🇸🇫🇷🇨🇦🇨🇳, no excuses. We also have been receiving refugees (politics, war immigrants) from many many years, and I love to stay in contact with you, cause that the best way to communicate between us, and let you know:
1- this is not your fault, many Mexicans also live in the US, I used to work in the US and everyone was so nice with me, there was jus 1 minor exception, and see u here in merida is very just.
2- Try to embrace Mexican culture, no HATE speeches of any kind, just peace and love, and if you have money, please go to local bussines, trust me, rich man have enough money, there’s a bunch of poor people that is trying to work hard to get something.
3- Gentrification it’s a real problem in a few areas, mexico is in transition to get all of you guys, but if possible, try to no get houses to close, to put the prices not to high. Inflation is hitting here not to hard but contributes to higher prices.
4- If you have something that you don’t need anymore in good shape, give to some one or put as gift to take in your garage, post it or do a donation even to church’s, we don’t care about religion, but here most of they help children and immigrants, there’s also dedicate places.
5- You’re less expats than you might think, I don’t see any gringos in my neighborhood, I just see people as me, doing changes in their life’s, I see brothers and sisters, cause that’s the culture here, any nation in the world it’s welcome to come to Mexico, and a few Mexicans will feel upset, for the higher prices on the market on land they dream to get, let’s say a little jealous. And it’s important to keep communication between us, so we can help each other, and for sure, we want you to estar here in Mexico for the reason you already know, this country is a paradise to live free and open your mind, WE LOVE YOU ALL, enjoy Mexico and keep letting us know your concerns. ❤️❤️ Let’s keep making this country a better and safer place for everybody.

I remember living in Mexico 🇲🇽 back in the 1970s, there was graffiti painted on buildings and walls "GRINGOS GO HOME", GRINGOS FUERA", but I didn't feel it when I livied there.
Interesting and that was 50 years ago. Thanks for sharing!
Good we hate usa from Mexico 🇲🇽🤜🤜🇺🇲
Enjoyed your video!
Thank you!
I was just in CDMX. I am an American citizen, living in LA, who goes once a year...mostly to sharpen my language skills (you can speak a lot of Spanish in LA, which I do, but it's not exactly the same as going into a fully-immersed space). A lot of my friends, who maybe have traveled to CDMX one time, were telling me 'stay in Roma Norte.' But I stopped staying there over a decade ago. It was already obnxious a decade ago. So I stay in places like Tabacalera--still off Reforma and central to the action--but mostly Mexican. I'll still dive bomb Roma a bit in the evenings. This time Roma Norte was just too much for me. It's so built up. And you really find it hard to practice Spanish. It's also nothing like the rest of the city, where the street scene feels so much more vibrant. I speak Spanish pretty fluently with no accent. Most locals know that I'm not from CDMX but they think I'm a domestic tourist from, say, Monterrey. So it was interesting that sometimes the shop girls would get offended when I spoke to them in Spanish. They would give off such a snooty vibe. You could tell that they had internalized a lot of self-loathing in their glorification of Anglophone Prowess.
That's very interesting thank you so much for sharing your experience
"prowess"??
Another great video Jose. Totally agree with everything you said. I'm from Melbourne, Australia, we've had people moving from all around the world for decades. They've brought with them wonderful European coffee and amazing food. My parents were born in England, they were immigrants in Australia. I'm now an immigrant here in Merida. Immigration is a part of life, and can be a wonderful thing. It happens everywhere.
Very well said! Thank you for sharing!

So Mexicans don't like foreigners coming into their country and changing their culture and language maybe they should have some more respect when they come to our country
In the video I mention how it is only a small group of Mexicans not happy, just like its a small group in your country that are not happy about Mexicans being there. But yeah I know Americans who live out here in Mexico and Hate Mexico and Mexicans. If you ask me that is nuts. You would think they would just go back home. But as you know people love attention and to play the victim. Anyways thanks for sharing!
@@JoseArteagaTravels most of the people I talk to and work with including the Mexicans that confirmation code here the biggest problem they have is the illegal part the Mexicans that I know don't like the illegal immigration because it makes them look bad and makes their life a lot harder and they find it offensive that they spend thousands of dollars and having to take citizenship test for somebody else to get in so easily which I totally understand but personally if you can get here legally I'm happy to have you and call your brother
@@andreawisner7358 well it's a lot easier than spending years studying to take citizenship test and spending thousands of dollars doing it it's riskier I think is what you mean because you're choosing to knowingly cross an illegal border and desert and rivers while dealing with human traffickers and Smugglers to do it
Their hypocrites lol
Could it be that the Mexicans that move to the U.S. and the mexicans that don't want you in Mexico are not the same mexicans?
That’s the longest distance across the 48 states , from the tip of Maine , to the bottom of California , same distance

To me they are immigrants just like me,I’m from Mexico but my parents brought me here “legally” in 1970,I live in California,but I go visit home every now and then🫶🏻

Thank you! For addressing this huge problem, so glad to see SOME foreigners UA-camrs that lives in Mexico talking about this issues, and it's not only Mexico City it's pretty much everywhere especially in the coastal areas, it's insane Expats and so-call digital nomands come to other countries they gentrified they do not intergrate with the locals or their cultural, the problem isn't the foreigners that comes to live in other countries is their actions that causes this social and economic problem. I read that this is the same scenario is playing out in Portugal, Colombia etc. The gentrification is pricing the locals out in their neighborhoods areas the Portuguese are not happy either. The worst part of all this is the fact that majority of remote workers NEVER get to know any locals residents to intergrate of their stay in, and above all Expats don't even attempted to try to speak their language, because so call entitlement and think the world revolves around this people, intergrate with the locals.....the audacity SOME of this Expats, now you know why Mexicans, and Portuguese and other countries are furious and try to kick this people out if their neighborhoods, this locals are not to play around with especially the Mexican is seen them in action.
Exactly very well said. This is the same story that has played out all over the world countless times. Let's see how Mexico handles all this, but i honestly think Mexico will take full advantage of every Foreigner coming to live here no matter what their income
My friend married a wonderful Vietnamese woman from there. She's now here and all their friends and outings have one thing in common....skin color.
@@JoseArteagaTravels My good friend who lives in Chicago some of her family lives in Mexico City and stayed that the Mexican are griffing GRINGOS GET OUT! It's sad but true. Get to now this people locals love foreigners but intergrate them that's all they want and learn how to speak Spanish. Thank you for your videos 🤗
America has been dealing with this for decades. The "immigrants" do not intergrate into the society and work for cheap which in turn makes it harder for American citizens to get jobs. For instance landscaping, carpenter or handyman work. Most of them don't carry insurance and have the overhead for running a business like American citizens are required to carry and we cannot compete with that. So we both, Mexico and America have some of the same issues.
@@lindastarr4699 THANK YOU. My fiancé his god father just help a immigrant find work to support himself as my fiancé who is Mexican said we tend to help our own and I’m like yeah only in USA as I don’t see no one helping anyone in Mexico.

It happens in the U.S. also. Every time I call customer service for anything I'll get asked for "English" press #1. It used to be a Spanish message for Latino's to press a number. I also see massive change in demographics in the U.S. so we're used to many different languages on stores and different races of people. The world is changing and Mexicans need to get used to change because they're going to see many more foreigners moving there over the years...especially Americans with a huge rise in inflation and crime.
Thanks for sharing!
The problem is that gringos consider entertainment or degeneracy, "culture".
The USA has always been a country of Immigrants, Mexico not so much.
The world is changing but Mexico is changing as Mexicans want it, and it not going to be some punk ass foreigners who are going to push us around.
like in our history we ready to go to bloody war against any foreign invading force who wishes to push their beliefs on to us.
Mark is also right.
My problem with American is you guys are obses with race, have so many toxic and abusive traits, and your promote nothing but degeneracy.

Hate USA from Mexico 🇲🇽🤜🤜🇺🇲
I think this happens everywhere, in the US people constantly blame "immigrants" for using our resources, and that everything now is in Spanish along side of English. We are exchanging more and more of our populations in the last 10 years. I hope we continue to have great relationships with our southern cousins, we love their people. All the latin countries have awesome people, minus the cartels of course.
Well said! Thanks for sharing!
Many Germanic saxons citizens put the blame on the immigrants whom are sponsor to come at the behest of their own, USA Goverment.
That footage reminds me of what driving around side streets in Los Angeles looked like when I lived in LA. Which would seem to suggest it would be a relatively easy transition for most Americans, at least if they took the time to aprendí español.

No puedo creer que digas eso, acaso vives en Polanco o la condesa? Acaso no sabes que en Oaxaca se están quedando sin agua por la gentrificación? O acaso eres de los que de benefician rentándole a los gringos carísimo! Si, seguro eres de esos. Solo así lo entendería .
@@Lovebubble_01 Hola, me parece que eso es en parte cierto, por ejemplo. En Ciudad de México ya se tenia ese problema desde hace decadas, tal vez se acelero la notoriedad de escases de agua.
Pero los extranjeros, independientemente de donde sean, han creado situaciones similares en Estados Unidos y Canadá. Como el actual requerimiento de visas de turismo para visitar Canadá devido a tanto aplicante de asilo mexicano con razones falsas o las grandes comumidades de paisanos en todo el sur de Estados Unidos, que no se han adaptado del todo a pesar de las decadas, abuelas o padres que no hablan ingles fluidamente.
Lo que pasa en Canadá por ejemplo, es el colapso del sistema de salud, laboral y de servicios a recien llegados, todo esto en gran medida es devido a una mala planeación del gobierno local.

Hola, No se si estas hablando de Merida o de otra Ciudad pero voy a responder sobre Merida. El trafico y otras incomodidades que estas teniendo tu no tiene nada que ver con gringos. La mayoria de los que se estan mudando para Merida son otros Mexicanos de otras parte de la republica. Cuando estes en el trafico otra vez mira a los autos para que vea que 90% son otros Mexicanos. Tambien un gringo que vive jubilado o como nomad digital no se esta levantando al diario a ir a trabajar entonces mas razon a que no son ellos lo que estan con el asunto del trafico. Yo mismo vivo en el Sur de Merida adonde ya muchos Meridanos no quieren vivir y aqui no tengo los problemas con el crecimiento y el trafico que tienen en el Norte que es adonde la mayoria de los ciudadanos quieren vivir hoy en dia. La realidad es que Merida esta creciendo muy rapido y los que estan armando todo son otros Mexicanos que quieren vivir y investir aqui. Yo mismo a visto un crecimiento enorme en los ultimos 6 años y se va a seguir poniendo peor. Tambien sobre el tema de "hoy no circula" eso tiene que ver mas con el pollution que hay en CDMX una ciudad de mas de 20 milliones. Merida ni apenas tiene 1 million y no hay pollution como en CDMX entonces no te preucupes con esa falsa informacion. Aqui en Merida no hay trafico si lo comparas a cualquier otra cuidad grande del mundo. Al fin si tienes tantas quejas de todo el crecimiento de la ciudad mejor te dirijes a los que estan en poder que han implementado todo este crecimiento. Hay cosas buenas y cosas malas que vienen con todo esto pero las personas nada mas quieren lo bueno y se quejan de lo malo. Lo que esta pasando en Merida es lo que ha pasado en todas las ciudades del mundo que han crecido. Al fin te entiendo muchisimo pero por favor mira mas con los ojos abiertos a lo que tienes en la cara y no te sigas dejando engañar. Muchas Gracias y suerte.
@@JoseArteagaTravels no sabes lo que dices, (a excepción de Mérida)) puedes discutir conmigo todo lo que gustes y argumentar, mejor dirígete a las miles de personas que comentan en otras cuentas en tik tok, no soy la única que le afecta y se queja de tan ingrata visita y colonización, ustedes toman ventaja, para muestra, tus comentarios aquí, y para tu información, la mayoría de las placas, son de estados unidos y no de México, no son bienvenidos por los mexicanos a excepción de los que les conviene, nose a donde llegue todo esto, de verdad espero que el gobierno aplique la ley que tanto promete a ustedes.
When many see a problem, someone see opportunities.
thats right
I really enjoyed you in this video. I'm trying to move to 🇲🇽 and after reading your title yesterday i hesitated to watch this vid but I'm glad i did. It was very encouraging.
Awesome!
Hate USA from Mexico love canada ♥️🇨🇦🇲🇽♥️🤜🤜🇺🇲
Stay in USA
Si, quédate allá, nos están afectando gravemente la gente que viene de USA, en Oaxaca se están quedando sin agua y perdiendo festividades que tiene siglos por quejas de los gringos.
Assimilation is a must and also all immigrants to Mexico or wherever country you go to it is very important to learn the language. Life will be abundant if you do. Plus you will be more likely to get better prices for goods and services from vendors. Jose can you imagine how different it would have been for you if you did not know Spanish?
All great points! The reason I chose Mexico and was looking mainly at latin America was because I knew the language. I would have loved to have gone to Asia or Eastern Europe but ultimately the Language barrier kept me close to home.
I just started seeing your videos, my mom has home there and getting fix we staying and right buy grandma house and cousin’s house and she redo mexcan paperwork and she hasn’t live there almost 25 years
Thats awesome! Welcome Aboard!
Hello. This is Mia.
Me and our family move to Merida Yukatan last week and currently staying at Airbnb. We are looking for a long term stay and was looking for home here. We need to find a Notary Republic rental agreement iternaty. Would you able to help us to find someone? Because we know that it is not that expensive to find but out realator was charging us 8000 pesos that is almost $500 US dollars.
We are hopeless here without No speaking Spanish. It would be so so helpful if you take time to help us.
We really need help. I am looking forward to hear from you… thank you
Perhaps Stephanie or Jose can help. All their information is on my website. Here is a direct link www.josearteaga.com/merida-mexico
love this!!
Thanks!
What do Mexicans think of people who speak “Distinción” Spanish instead of “Seseo”?
I have no idea. I am a native Spanish Speaker and i have never heard of those 2 my apologies
@@JoseArteagaTravels “Distinción” is the Spanish spoken in which the “C”before “i” or “e” and the “Z” before “a” “o” or “u” sounds like the “th” in English. In “Seseo” the “C” and “Z” sound like “S”. I have the impression that Latin Americans hate that. I hope I am wrong about that. For me “Distinción” is simply a personal preference. When I was in college back in the 70s one of my Spanish professors spoke that way. I loved to hear that man speak Spanish. Many years later I subscribed to a Spanish audio magazine in which at first most of the people speaking spoke like that. I liked it very much. Most if my own Spanish speaking during all these years since college has been reading aloud. I began practicing reading in that way and soon it became automatic for me. So now I wonder if I ever got to México if I should unlearn that way of speaking so as to not offend people. That professor I mentioned was actually Portuguese but he spoke beautiful Spanish.
Hello, both of my parents are from Mexico, moved to USA had us kids in the USA. They never thought us Spanish! I am in the process of getting my Mexican citizenship. Will I be a Greengo?
I want to buy a home In Merida Mexico myself also. So, will I be rejected like I have been IN THE USA! I now speak a little Spanish now. Growing up in the 60s and the hate and names they called us was cruel to say the least. Hearing this video worries me wanting to move to Mexico!
You will be fine out here no worries! You should watch this video for more information ua-cam.com/video/sBI4VusH58s/v-deo.html
Jamás serás gringo pero tampoco mexicano, disculpa que sea brutalmente honesta, perdiste tus raíces, y vienes a gentrificar también, somos muy amables, en el fondo no queremos gente como tú, pero pretenderemos que si, tu aprovecha, y que se jodan los mexicanos en México 😂, para eso se fueron tus padres, para que progresaras, lo hiciste, aprovéchate!
I've been living in Tijuana for a decade and a half. Along the border you have many Mexicans who try to cross into the US. They get caught and sent back. Many of them have uber negative experiences with la migra and this sometimes taints their views of all Americans. Nice video.
Thanks for sharing!
25:32 is my all the way! Hoping to meet you next month bro!
Safe Travels!
Racist is dealing with the color of a person. Racism is dealing with economics. I still like your videos bro.
Ok! Thanks for sharing!
How’s your Hurricane Weather ?
Its not so bad
I love your attitude and how you share your story the way it is. I think what you're saying about assimilation is a personality thing. It's the same with traveling you can go on luxury vacations without even really rubbing your shoulder against locals or you can learn as much as you can about the local culture and mix in with it as much as possible. Thumbs up.
Thank you! Well said!
THE UNITED STATES IS OUR NEIGHBOR, PARTNER AND FRIEND FOREVER, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE HAD SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS OVER TIME, THAT SHOULD BE FORGOTTEN, THE PRESENT IS WHAT COUNTS AND MEXICO SHOULD ALWAYS SUPPORT THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA BECAUSE IN THE END WE ARE IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD, TOGETHER WE WILL BE STRONGER, CAREFULLY A MEXICAN OF AZTEC AND SPANISH BLOOD.
Well said! Brothers till the end!

Gringo came from the term green coats
Thanks for sharing!
I think it's important to emphasise that Mexicans have no problem with US people. We don't hate them, the issue and all the complaints have nothing to do with the color of their skin, their language, their culture. Actually, they adapt well and are good neighbors and good people, at least I've never had any problem with them (I live in Mexico City). It's 100% about the fact that their presence raises the prices, and it's not directly their fault, everybody has a right to move to wherever is best for them to find a better life. It's not personal. The authorities of both countries have to cooperate and find solutions, it's them who failed both communities in the first place. Migration, in all of its forms, is a natural occurrence and both migrants and locals deserve dignity, safety and to be treated with kindness and respect.
Thank you so much for your insight!
The part of the US where I grew up ,when people use the word gringo they are referring to strictly white people .If you are a Black American,Filipino American ,Indian American etc you are not considered a Gringo ,It was strictly for people with white skin.I remember this growing up as a kid as early as the 1970's .Till this day for many people the word Gringo still means only white people to them .The first time I heard someone call Black people gringos was in 2020 and that threw me off guard because like I said I've always know only white people to be called gringos .I guess it all depends where you grew up and what it means to you.
That makes sense. Thanks for sharing!
I enjoy your videos , if I didn’t read the words on things . I’d have no clue where you are ,
ok! Thanks for sharing!
Nice content Jose, how do you know if the landlord is a good one. Fixes broken stuff , and does not bother the tenant
Honestly thats the million dollar question. One really never knows. You can just use common sense and your "gut" and hope for the best. Thanks for watching!
Welcome to Mexico. You have a special place
Viva Mexico!
Couldnt agree more, we hate it when immigrants dont wanna learn our language but then suddenly its OK to do the same when they move to another country! Already together with my Dominican wife for like 12 years, so spanish is only a problem for one of us lol So far I find it difficult to learn but thats probably because I dont hear Spanish everywhere around me :)
Thanks for sharing!
@@JoseArteagaTravels What I understand from your videos is that Yucatan is the hottest area? We are from Holland and my wife loves that its not as hot as in DR but both find it too cold in the winter. Also I read that foreigners cant buy property like 50 miles from the borders and xx miles from the beach?
@@stoney268 You can buy property you just have to do it through a trust or a corporation. Also yes Yucatan is in the tropics in the Caribbean therefore a very tropical climate
mexico has a beautiful energy and it is beautiful country
I totally agree! Viva Mexico!
I want to return to Mexico and be just another Mexican and not brown, but can I return home after being away for over 50 years; I lost the fluency of the language and have the Spanish vocabulary of a six grader.
Of course you can! Watch this video for more info on why you should ua-cam.com/video/sBI4VusH58s/v-deo.html
@@JoseArteagaTravels I live comfortably (no luxuries, but I have a home, food, grandkids and art supplies). if I don’t get a catastrophic disease, I should be fine. In my dreams, home is calling me. I often wonder who I would be today had I remained there, here I flourished into me, but when you get taken from everything you knew, it lives a longing that never recedes. I think this is the space I occupy today. By the way, I too am an artist and would love to see your wife’s work.
Perdiste raíces, no eres mexicano.
We have many things in common first commercial trade, second we share the same border, third we have the same tribes of native Americans and native Mexicans we also have many mixed families.
Thanks for sharing!
Just do not concentrate in one particular area. There problem solved!!!!
Great advice!
You know that no everyone feel like that, this si a Mexican telling you this,.
Yes I know thats why I make the videos I make. I am not here to talk about the popular opinions, I'm here to talk about topics no one really wants to talk about or bring up.
expats? you mean immigrants?
You can also call them foreigners
The main areas affected with gentrification in Mexico City is Roma Norte, Condesa, and Polanco. I happen to live in Roma Norte. Everything has increased in price. Most of the foreigners here are Spainards actually, and other local wealthy Mexicans. There's lots of people from the USA, UK and Canada too.
The main problem is the fact that corporations have bought up many colonial buildings and turned them into Airbnb and hotels. So, a local trying to find reasonable housing to rent or even buy is slim pickings. As soon as a rental unit is available it's rented immediately.
But, the main thing that is going on, is the fact that the Mayor (Governor) of CDMX put forth a contract with Airbnb to bring digital nomads to CDMX and that's why there's even more outrage here about what's going on. There have been marches/demonstrations, which have recently led the Mayor to rethink her decision and is thinking about putting some parameters on Airbnb and even maybe mimic what Spain has done about Airbnbs, and ban all short term Airbnbs in certain areas and only have long-term in the most touristy areas.
All I can say, is if anyone is planning on staying in Roma Norte and those other specific locations for long term, they better find a place sooner than later while there's still rentals available and priced as good as it's going to get, as the prices keep climbing, like at least 10% - 20% each year. A previous place I lived increased the rent 20%. Cheapest place is about $1000 and average is $2000 - $3000 and those are only apartments. But, in Polanco it's really high, totally unattainable for most folks.
But, the main problem is the corporations buying up old apartment complexes refusing to update contracts for the existing tenants and therefore basically kicking them out to make it long term housing for expats/digital nomads.
I hope the Mayor puts a stop to all this because it's really getting out of control.
And where I live, the building is open for locals and anyone else who wants to rent. I just happened to find it as soon as it went on the market or otherwise, I would have missed out. Therefore, I plan to stay here indefinitely.
Wow thank you so much for sharing and shedding more light on what is actually happening there in the Mexico City area! I honestly had no idea. But knowing Mexico it totally makes sense. I hope the Mayor does go back on the Airbnb situation we are having something similar happen out here in Merida. Thank you again for sharing your boots on the ground actual experience with the whole situation. Saludos!
@@JoseArteagaTravels You're welcome! And as usual those expats/foreigners refuse to interact with the locals. They don't even interact with me😂 They have their noses so far stuck up in the air to interact with anyone but their own kind.
Hello Jose. I have really enjoyed watching your videos: I'm from Winnipeg Canada I'm 67 years old I'm single live a very simple life. I live on my pension of around 1950.00 month. My problem is I had a kidney transplant 3 years ago but I'm not sick at all plus i have diabetes but I would be coming out there 100% debt free. Don't smoke drink very little don't gamble the biggest thing I would be eating. What is your thoughts about me trying to move to mexico. I'm coming to Mexico Sept 1-30th. I live comfortably here on what I make, I pay 900.00 per month per month plus utilities. But my city has become so very dangerous and can't handle the winters anymore. I'm a social butterfly love to meet people and try new things. I would love to hear back from you. Regards Brian
I suggest you go to where you are treated best. Right now it seems like Mexico could be the best place for you to ENJOY your last years. If you ever need to fly home for any reason you can do so, or perhaps just stay in Mexico forever and get treated here. It's all up to you. Good luck on your journey!
We don’t want more gringos here, besides, it’s not safe, you should ask Mexicans from Mexico, real Mexicans, not people that lives in a bubble. Traffic it’s gross, expensive and health service it’s not the same, not good enough, we don’t even have enough medicines, just in case you didn’t know, check it Jose.
You lost me at 10:40 "nobody speaks Mexican " ? Mexican is a nationality not a language.
Mexican is also a language it is a variation of Spanish. Same as American is a Language derived from English
Jose we only speak Spanish with Mexican slang and other people speak natives languages also
@@JoseArteagaTravels no it's not bro. 😄 You're probably referring to so called "Mexican Spanish", Colombian Spanish, etc.
What worries me about this growing inmigration is that, first, US citicenz being discriminated by mexicans independently of their legal status in the country is really a minor issue, and that is OK, it should not happen at all... but Mexican citizens being discriminated in the US independently of their legal status is a whole different story, aditionally there have been instances (minor as they can be) of US inmigrants discriminating mexicans on México... so... yes it can be a little bit upsetting. Secondly yes, the influx of money rises the cost of living on the areas occupied by the newcomers, forcing the locals out and forming pockets of inmigrant population in major cities or relevant value areas... that may be ok and just a temporary phenomenon of the market economy and it is of minor concern when we talk about canadian, european, asian or other latin american countries... but the US is a different story and that comes to the third and main reason of concern... that is, the US in particular have a long, long history of invading other countries under the pretext of "defending the interests of its citizens"... the recipe is, get a group of US citizens nto a country, ask nicely to be alowwed to stay for a while, then have some altercation, call for the US government for support, and voila, the marines are marching to invade under the guise of "defense of american interest" and eiter invading or installing puppets into power... happened here in México ... Texas, California, New Mexico, etc, happened in Granada, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Chile, Guatemala and a long, long list of etceteras.... and now the US government is actually threatening to invade... it's just a matter of a large enough group of "expats" to cry loud enough for US help to protect them from insecurity and it's bye bye México.... may sound paranoid or over dramatic... but i just do not know.

Your a good guy and brought some good information. The world is changing and people in America are looking for a place of peace from the crazy government and arguments day in and day out on the news. We've had millions of Mexicans immigrate to America. I went to the grocery store one day and stood in front of the butter for a minute staring because they were all written in Spanish. It just didn't register that it was butter to me. lol I grabbed it and flipped it over to the English side and it finally clicked. It will all work out. People are people, there are good and bad in every culture, and country. One other thing is I was raised with an Italian mother and an Irish/English father. I wanted to speak Italian so bad and for some reason it never came easy to me. 😔
Thank you very much for sharing!
Retiring to San Cristobal in March…..counting the days !

Attention! There is no problem with US citizens in Mexico. The problem is that foreigners are overcrowding specific places, such as the "Condesa" neighborhood in Mexico City. The ideal is to distribute.

Honestly, don't take "gringo culture" with you anywhere. Leave it in the united states.
The word "Gringo" has nothing to do with skin color, It just means American. Our African American Brothers are technically also Gringos.
