Yup, it's slowly happening to Mexico City now.

There are no digital nomads, there are no nomads nor are they Expats.
They are Inmigrants and that's it
@@nadie4221
I could not express it better. In most countries, after six months as visitor, if you do not change your status to "Permanent resident", you are there illegaly and technically you must leave.
Facts.
Best comment hands Down!👍
Expat means they expatriated from their own country. Some people actually do that. While still an immigrant, these are expats.
If you can come to America we can come to Mexico
I was in Mexico, visiting relatives, and met a Russian, working as a taxi driver.
In Australia, US, UK and Canada, all taxi /Uber drivers are Indian.😂
@@merrick6484but İndians say They are Ceo on Companys in Other Cauntrys
No mames. Jajaja
Alotta people go to mexico if they cant go to usa or if they plan on illegally entering here, not saying the taxi driver didnt wanna live in mexico but its not rare to have immigrants from overseas in mexico
American immigrants! Stop calling them “digital nomads”, “remote workers” or any other name.
Hey they are economic refugees you bigot.
Yes and while we at it, stop calling it affordable housing and say what it is subsidized housing.
I call them foreigners
There are idiots on both sides of the issue. I’ve met plenty as someone who travels regularly. “Expats” & “Nomads” who don’t understand or care about the implications and locals who never travel and cry about everything 😂
como es q les dicen , expats? jajaja....
I’m an American immigrant living in Mexico. I have temporary residency and I haven’t ran into anyone with these issues. I try to speak in Spanish as much as possible. Plus I love spicy salsa!
because it’s Mexico and it’s a cultural thing here. people are not openly aggressive or nasty unless they gather in the group. that’s the reason you can see tons of negative comments on the YT or these offensive sticks on the streets of CDMX. i guarantee if you could catch a person who is posting them he/she would just say nothing and run.
I also live in Mexico legally. I went through the process and I absolutely speak Spanish, tip well, help others when I can. All of my neighbors know me. I am grateful this country has been so kind and welcoming!
Nope, force everything to be in English and blare American music at the dumbest hours of the night. Also, get as much government assistance as you can and have millions of kids. Make them play in the neighbors yards and be sure to block their driveways with your millions of cars. You have to conform to their way of life and mannerisms.
I've had neighbors like that before. It's frustrating!
So what does that mean? 💅🏾
This is hilarious in the US many Mexicans don't or refuse to speak English while living in the states. The US doesn't get mad they just do things in English and Spanish and deal with it. I have seen Mexicans who have lived in the US for 10 15 years and still don't speak the language and some of them are the young generation not the old. The world is global now you can't be a person who thinks small or who is insular all the time. The world is just very global now.
El inglés y el español son lenguas muy difundidas.
As someone half mexican trust me they know/try some english but if they tell u “they dont know” its bc theyre new here or dont wanna talk to u😂
Just remember and learn history. Texas was lent land to nomads from Europe and then they abused the hospitality of the Mexicans and began to rebel against our government. Then they invaded us twice, taking more than half of our territory. We are not living illegally, we are the owners of these lands that your ancestors abused and now they think they are superior. I just remind you that time is changing and little by little we are recovering our own land and cultures from those states that were part of Mexico.
This is, unfortunately, a worldwide issue. Airbnb has also messed up rental in Toronto, and there is no rent control. Tons of condos are going up, and no one can afford them except for foreigners with a lot of money. People have had to move out and live in the other neighboring cities.
that's not the reason rents are high
yeah but mexico straight up fully deserves this times a thousand
lmao complaining how we change their food? hypocritical idiots.
can't live like you're used to?...hmmmmm....california would like a word,texas too i assume but I've lived in cali for 3 decades.
they have zero room to complain about immigration or gentrification or anything of the sort.
You can't blame Mexicans for feeling some resentment in this regard. Many Canadians feel the same frustration with mass immigration in Canada creating issues and stresses on Healthcare services, Social Services, property/rent increases or lack of availability. Final point, respect the country you go to and embrace their culture or stay where you are from, and that goes for every nationality.
Mexicans have some nerve 😤
Especially after they elected Trump as president
We are not friends with USA from Mexico we love Russia
You are right. Learn to speak English is our country.
@@familyandfriends3519 The immigration into Canada is not a bunch of Americans, it's a bunch of Indians and asians
Hilarious. Here in chicago there are shops all over the place with signs in Spanish. The public transport has everything written bilingually, TV programs in Spanish, even the trash cans are written with Spanish instructions.
The mass influx of tens of millions of Mexicans has increased costs for rent because of increased demand, and lowered wages by oversaturing the employment market…and if we even mention it, we are racist. And they complain about what exactly? A few thousand rich young gringos with online jobs getting ripped off by high rents in a couple fancy neighborhoods of Mexico City?
well that's understandable. every one's opinion are valid but they must've been felt something else that Americans are living in the city. Other countries do have a lot of tourists every year but they took that as an opportunity.
There is a BIG difference in the example you gave.
A person from a developing country won't have such a disruptive impact when moving into a developed country. Most times these are people looking for low income job opportunities. Sure it has some impact.
If a person from a developed country (high purchasing power) migrates into a less developed country, that is gentrification.
@@Ramezml what are you talking about? The tens of millions of Mexicans that have come to the USA, many of whom are working in our labor market illegally, do WAY more to disrupt our society and economy than a few thousand rich Americans/europeans, bringing in money from abroad to pay higher rents (to the benefit of Mexican landlords) in a few isolated spots in Mexico. Everything wasn’t so expensive in the USA relative to what we were making like 30 years ago. You know why? Because the price of labor has shot down from immigrants, mainly from Mexico, coming here en masse to work
@@rocinante4488lol.. If They don't even offer work, and the little that there is pays poorly, not even enough to live decently in the USA. According to you. 🙄
@@Ramezml are you kidding? People who flood into a country without an advanced education have a nasty habit of not adapting to the current culture. These people don't want to be there in the first place, they do it out of necessity. Therefore they built up a lot of resentment and stick with their current cultural norms and values and look down upon the host countries way of doing things. Vs somebody who chooses to live In another country because they want to (they are interested in the place and culture). That's somebody who will most likely NOT commit a crime.
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation
I feel Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and.exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or a licensed expert in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields
Tracy Britt Cool Consulting was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I made so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Tracy.
She is really a good investment advisor. Was privileged to attend some of her seminars.that's how I started my own crypto investment
Gringas are not a dish made for Americans they have existed forever. You see locals eating them because they are part of our diets

Oh mira, un chilango que no conoce de gastronomía mexicana
@@AlejandroRuizVelascoAguilar Qué?
Mexico City is just experiencing what many cities in the US have already experienced. Foreign money has elevated housing in many cities in the US. Just look at New York City or Miami. Mexico is a huge country; and Mexico city has many many neighborhoods so I expect that this is limited to certain exclusive neighborhoods like Condesa and Polanco, both historically far out of the reach of normal Mexicans. Foreigners bring hard currency and employ people; and are sign that Mexico has stabilized and joined the roster of attractive countries that people want to live.
Stupid comment, absolutely clueless.
😂😂😂 I can smell the privilege thru the phone
lol alot of the illegal immigrants from all over the world like Mexico/Venezuela coming into basically all western countries including United States are getting handouts and coming for the free stuff the government promised. They are also getting privilege. And not assimilating well.
I totally agree. I could tell traveling thru Mexico City where the certain classes of Mexican people live.
You are correct. It is experiencing what cities in the USA have and are still going through. Unfortunately, money controls, and the compassion of many humans no longer exists. Look at the amount of people living in the streets and vehicles or RV's. They aren't all alcoholic or drug addicted people. Moreover, many are senior citizens. We need God and Jesus.
It's ok, as a Malaysian, we welcome you. Just come here it's cheap, well it's cheap for westerners, plus we speak good English.
why would you want citizens from the country that is committing a genocide in Malaysia !!!

The land lord and cafe owners are laughing all the way to the bank

The Meixcan homeowners are making a ton of money. People crying about displacement are referring to renters. Nobody cried when I had to move from California, at least there's affordable housing in Tlalpan.
Seriously
I'm an owner at one of the neighbors full of gringos. Things can be scary. The real estate companies are very aggressively trying to get properties in these areas.
There are these big real estate companies trying to find any legal loophole to legally take away someone's property away from their owner.
They have managed to legally take away some people's property for simple things such as the owner not paying the water bill or the property taxes in time.
Things are quite scary for us homeowners in the area.
Now Mexicans know hire we feel in America
No sea pinché lloron we are recovering our stolen land wey
No they don’t. Bc a,we owns come there legally, and contribute to the economy lol
Not really, this is more like a gentrification issue. Because people staying in Mexico to live only raises prices and people get displaced. Just like anywhere in New York now days. However migration from Mexico to USA never really raised prices. But again this is more a gentrification issue than a migration issue. Plus they are not paying taxes but using public spaces. Whereas people who migrate to the USA have to pay taxes regardless of their migration status.
So, is English a second language for you? 😂
@@jkgkj00que?? You know you can edit your grammatical errors there, buddy.
It's a double edge sword, Americans are leaving the U.S. due a high cost of living, while settling in CDMX the shop owners and landlords rise costs since they can pay for more conviniences than a average Mexican. Gentrification is inevitable in any place of the world if a region is developing, the chalenge is to mitigate it.
You got a big point there
not really inevitable if the government steps in and stops it
People are naive. If people ruined the own country it doesn't mean they can't ruin another country. Good luck.
now Mexicans feel how an American feels when they take their job 😂
double edge how? LOL. where's the bright side to all of this?? the only people benefiting are the landlords charging exorbitant prices
We take our people back and you take yours back 👌
It’s not just Mexico here. You have everyone running over here and Venezuela is the main one here now

"Young Americans, don't let the system define your fate! Break free from the cycle of debt and financial struggles. Invest in the financial market and take control of your future. Build wealth, generate passive income, and secure your financial freedom. Invest in yourself and create a brighter tomorrow."
You're absolutely right, you've remind me of what someone once said "The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too". This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..investment is the key that can secure your family future.
Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man without investment and I'll tell you how long it takes to go bankrupt. Investing creates a safe haven for the future. With the right investment choice that has at least a 10% minimum risk and with the advice of an expert, profits and interest is guaranteed.
I agree with you had a senior colleague at work who was doing well but never had an investment. Unfortunately he lost his job and went from living a comfortable life to hardship. There would had been something to fall back on if he had an investment
that's why I always urge everyone to start investing somewhere now no matter how small, this is literally the time for that, forget material things, don't get tempted,i became more better the moment i realized this.
yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Investment without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to a great loss too
If people from Mexico can live in the U.S. illegally, then certainly people from the U.S. can live in Mexico legally.
They already do. Texas, California, New Mexico.🙂
But you can't be trusted. Last time they let you enter, you stole about 50% of their country.
They are NOT legal. They don’t pay taxes.
They are NOT legal. They don’t pay taxes.
They are NOT legal. They don’t pay taxes
I'll say this as a Mexican. Half of the neighborhoods the Americans are living in were already expensive; average Mexicans could not afford to live in those neighborhoods. Half of the people complaining about Gentrification don't even live near those areas. I have an apartment in a very upscale part of Guadalajara and believe me when I say this. Not everyone can rent it, but an American can. Gringos are not moving into the poor areas of the country nor are they living in working-class neighborhoods. This is really a win for Mexicans who own property in good areas and a win for the Americas.
Plus as the waiter said, they leave good tips for the lower class. Everyone wins. The lack of affordable housing around the globe is a Government problem and not a foreign problem. The Mexican Government wants more revenue, half of Mexicans do not pay taxes as many work in the informal economy. I laugh when people say, the Gringo are pricing us out as many could even afford those neighborhoods in the first place. There are places that even Gringos can't afford in Mexico. Where the "Ultra-wealthy" live. We are not getting rich Gringos we are getting middle-class gringos who will live in upper-middle-class neighborhoods.
This topic is insane. It's only natural that when people come from other countries they build a tight-knit community and speak their own languages. It happens all over the world. I have been in Los Angeles where people only speak Spanish. The Same happens in Mexico we have communities where only an indigenous language is spoken. We have communities where only German is spoken. There have always been areas where English was spoken for many years. People are ignorant. They are fighting for a neighborhood that never belonged to them. I'm sure the owners of the housing and restaurants in those neighborhoods are happy with their income.
@@3x157 it has nothibg to do with the Americans. These people are from all over. My friends rents out his room on line and it's many people from Canada and Europe
@@user-re6id4qh3j we don't like USA from Mexico
This is 100% correct. I was born and raised in Mexico City and these spots have always been for people with more money not necessarily very wealthy but definitely not your average Mexican. At one point the so called “digital nomads” will not be able to pay for them either and that is exactly what the Mexican government is aiming for. The average American living there doesn’t actually make that much more if you compare it to the Mexican that already lived there. I love these topics because I enjoy talking about the economy, investments etc but to keep it short Mexico is attracting more dollars to reinvest in the growing economy but the average Mexican will not understand this.
Something similar is happening in Tijuana when people from San Diego and the rest of California moving to Tijuana and making it difficult for local people to afford housing near the city or where good paying jobs are found.
@@16nowhereman hahaha Tijuana is a horrible state already. I can only image how bad is going to get after getting woke people from cali. If you live there I would probably leave.

Part of the problem is Americans are pricing things in USD, rather than pesos. However, with 128 million Mexicans, 1.6 million Americans is hardly having a major effect. They’re just being blamed for rising prices…
People with these types of concerns seem to forget that relationships between countries are reciprocal. If you kick the "gringos" out, and actually they are immigrants, then you will get kicked out of other countries yourself.
As Americans always cry about, these are illegal inmigrantes that are not paying taxes in mex
Exactly. That’s why hate & war is so stupid. It only hurts the Self.
As dual citizen (American-Mexican) that has lived in Mexico for over 20 years gentrification is a excuse to not hold our own country men accountable for raising the pricing for the avarage Mexican , greed is the root of all evil.
You said that beautifully. With all this go home gringo crap that I’ve been seeing here in Mexico these people who stick to this fad, always conveniently leave out the Mexican landowners who are raising the prices. That’s where it starts. Their own country men are pricing them out of apartments not just a gringo’s fault.
I don't worry about it too much. At one time Acapulco was considered fully gentrified, I remember it was so crazy the signs were in english first, then spanish. The thing is though things happened, it all crashed, and now Acapulco is back to being part of Mexico.
the irony here is amazing. Imagine putting up signs saying foreigners go home in NYC.
They did! I was at the school protest but was kicked out for filming. Some freedom huh?

But all the illegals that are being shipped from Texas to places like New York aren’t Mexicans. They’re from South America or Europe. They’re 2 different things. Mexicans get deported the same days if they’re caught by Border Patrol…
The issue is most of the profits are going to the owners (restaurant and land) who are already rich.
Wages are not increasing for the employees.
The same thing is happening in Oaxaca.
For all those wanting to move to Mexico get you an Airbnb for a week and then find a more permanent place on marketplace.

@@metalheadblues yes
Now you know how Americans feel. Everyone over the border, no habla English…..
At least you don’t have to support us…..
Back to europe
I know plenty of people who came across the border and learned/tried english, at least for mexicans but i cant speak for all immigrants
You take that back. At least the Mexicans contribute to wealth creation. They don't just bring inflation. Mexicans come here to build housing, not take it away... That contributes to the control of inflation. When all you do is spend but you don't contribute to local wealth creation that's when you get inflation and that's what the gringos are bringing.

@@notmyrealname977 Well, there is going to be new laws in the up coming months where yall Gryngos are going to pay Taxes so hopefully ITS soon, AND yall leave for once
Common issue here, so makes sense that it would also apply globally. In TX for example, many people moving from out of state has caused a major surge in both rent and home purchase pricing. It's just logical. More people, less houses equates to higher cost.
First, if this truly is creating problems, instead of protesting tourists, Mexican citizens should protest the government who allows/creates the policies that disenfranchise them. Second, America has more Mexicans here than the reverse. We have entire neighborhoods in multiple states with Mexican owned business and signs in Spanish everywhere. Also, our system supports Mexicans by providing translated materials at large businesses and government agencies, provides free education to immigrant children with English as a second language services, etc. The list goes on… I really think the fraction of Mexicans who actually feel this way should think about all sides of the issue.
Not every Spanish people is “Mexican”. And some digging in history will tell u that 5 estates were part of Mexico at one point. So the places you’re talking about were once populated by Mexicans, so therefore the Spanish language and the large amounts of them. Issue is Indians, whites, asians do not belong to our continent. Mexicans do. Get a grip.
The comparison of moving to Texas versus Mexico makes no sense! One thing is to move within the same country and another is for one to move to another country and expect that country to adjust to your lifestyle and culture!! That’s entitlement and ridiculous
gentrification bro......maybe californians can gentrify texans too.....how do u know?a couple star bucks here and there and before u know it texas is gluten free.

True, but the Mexican immigration laws are favorable to Americans so it's a lot easier for Americans than it is for Mexicans trying to come to the US legally. American immigration laws are extremely difficult and unfavorable. That's why there's so much illegal immigration in America.
That’s because Mexico has t set a visa to US citizens yet. I hope they do soon because how come Mexicans need visa to go to the US and not the other way around. Plus if they stay past their 6 months then they become illegal
No you didn't. Native and Aztec brother disagree
Yeah, just like your greedy people came legally in 1846 to steal! S.T.F.U !!!
Fuck and here I was planning on being a remote worker and moving to my Dad's home town. I received unemployment for 2 years once, and was getting the Max of 600$ at the time, and I saved so much damn money living over there and not blowing my money on cocain and hookers. Don't get me wrong I still partied but mostly just drank beer with family memebers. I would live off 100-200 a week and that was eating out most of the time. I'm telling you, it's worth retiring down there for sure.
You are the reason Mexican will say NO.
People in Ireland can’t move out because the price of rent has increased so much. The foreigners that come in often don’t even have passports!! And guess what, the government give them free housing!!! This has in turn caused an increase in rent, among other reasons (inflation is happening everywhere) people who blame “gringos” for raising prices and other problems are ignorant of what is going on worldwide.
@ThisIsLivingTravels the video literally explains how these nomads have made housing more expensive in these parts of Mexico and here you are saying they are ignorant to what’s happening in the rest of the world.

This is a problem all over the world. Be it tourists , digital nomads , they drive up the cost. While businesses in those regions are the real benefactors, the normal population suffer. We have seen that in Bali to Barcelona
So what I'm getting here is that some locals have legitimate reasons to be angry at the changes affecting prices in Mexico City, but instead of taking it out on the government that literally "promoted CDMX as a remote-working hub", they take it out on people coming here BECAUSE of all of the advertisement promoting remote work put out by the city. All of these problems have been created by the government and it's a matter of them either doing the right thing or letting gentrification slowly settle in. But it is definitely not on Americans coming to the city to live out the digital nomad dream they've been promised.
As a side note, yes, when you come live in another country, you have to do your best to respect the culture and try not to have everybody be accommodating to your specific ways, but that being said, everybody from any culture can be found at fault in specific contexts, not just Americans. On the topic of language and food for example, some Mexicans and other Spanish-speaking nationals have also been guilty of doing what uptin points out is happening in CDMX, in the United States. I've seen arguments saying that it doesn't matter as much because the US doesn't actually have an official language, but turns out Mexico doesn't either. Nothing wrong with English being in some pockets of Mexico, just like there's nothing wrong with Spanish being in pockets of the US. It's when it's too much that it's weird. And adapting foods to different tastes or letting foreign food take over is also something that's been known to happen across the border. Nothing wrong there either, but there should be limits of course, and that's where the government should, in theory, come in.
Y por el final, la parte que más me gustó fue la gente que dijo en el video que no todo está mal con este flujo migratorio de gente que está viniendo a México haciendo inversiones en la economía. Lo más injusto en este problema es que los locales y los turistas que vinieron a trabajar sufren de problemas diferentes, y resulta que al final todos quedan impactados por las acciones del gobierno. Es un tema bien complejo, y espero que ambos partidos puedan convivir, y luchar por una implemetación más justa y equitable que no requiere compromisos extremos.
el gobierno gringo manda ayuda financiera a grupos de derecha mexicana
espera a que los gringos en mexico quieran influir políticamente, la ultima vez que lo hicieron se robaron la mitad del territorio original mexicano
igual que Hawaii, Samoa, Puerto Rico, filipinas, Guantanamo, Islas virgenes etc. los gringos aun tienen esa forma imperialista de pensar
And once again, in an unrelated video, Airbnb is bringing nothing but negativity to neighborhoods. You brought up some good points, but being from SoCal and my wife's surname of Martinez. I can't remember a single graffiti saying get out Mexicans, lol.
That being said as a Gringo we fucking suck. We're vanilla and nothing makes me sadder to see then them watering down the salsa and hot sauce smh. I constantly have them question me when I order the spiciest salsa from the back. They are always "are you sure?" It's embarrassing 😳
@@noahziegler3478 Hey, thank you for contributing to these points and giving me your feedback. As for your not seeing any graffiti reflecting a similar sentiment towards Mexicans in the US, that's perfectly valid. However, to say that the equivalent has not happened anywhere else in the country is a different story. People who move to a different country will inevitably have a hard time adapting, and that will be reinforced even further if a large chunk of their community moves to that country with them, as they'll feel less incentive to actually leave it and integrate.
As for your last point, I would reiterate that it's the responsibility of both the host community and the visitors to make an effort to both respectively adapt slightly to the "guests", and integrate so as not to inconvenience the hosts. All of this to say that gringos don't inherently suck and that each community is going to have people that give it a bad name. Lastly, I don't think you should feel embarrassed for ordering the spiciest salsa and not be taken seriously. In fact, keep ordering it and you'll eventually break that stereotype that doesn't apply to everybody who wasn't born a Mexican. Everything will get better with time and you should not let a few people define how you're seen when in public in Mexico.
I understand the fear of gentrification when rich Americans move into Mexico in a way that's not really happening in the us but it's kind of funny that Mexicans would be worried about the cultural side of things, I'm interested to hear how you feel about the millions of Mexican criminals that enter the US every year
@@GeorgeGreenfield-ew1rm Except the people complaining aren't the ones crossing the border and those millions of criminal Mexicans coming in aren't even Mexicans you do realize that right 😂
Americans experience the same thing in a different way when groups of men from Mexico and South America band together and live in motels, moving from city to city to outbid American tradesmen. They lower local wages and send most of their money back home. Makes it very hard on local people who have families to feed and rent to pay in dollars when they’re competing against men who are paying the rent back home in pesos. So I empathize with these people. But such is the cost of economic migration on both sides of the border.
The pot calling the kettle black 😂😂😂😂😂!!!! Double standard
The irony of this.
Tens of millions of mexicans in the US speaking spanish blasting mariachi music, the whole 9
lol I think Mexico lost the right to be mad about Americans moving to Mexico a long time ago. No double standards Mexico
You're the fucking hypocrites, you took our country and our land and expect us to stop living and moving back and forth. We were here for over 25,000+ years and you have only been here for 500
We are not friends with your country stay there we welcome everyone in Mexico but not usa
@@familyandfriends3519 lmao yeah okay buddy, I think my comment went right over your head.
Same for the USA when they stole half of the country. Mind you that most Mexican Americans living in the USA didn’t cross the border but the border crossed them.
We lived/worked there for 5 months in 2021. Amazing city and people.
I'm glad you had a wonderful experience there!
It’s so paradoxical - there are Mexicans illegally coming to
the US - meanwhile Americans are flooding to Mexico. What is the root cause of this???
RCA , the grass is not always greener
No not Mexicans. Those are Venezuelans and Guatemalans.
@@sofacamamorado oh ok, thank you for the info.
if anything, Mexicans are actually going back to Mexico. like how another commenter said, it’s mostly Venezuelans and Central Americans, with a bit of Haitians and Chinese on the side.
@@sofacamamorado Mexico is still the number one for unauthorized border crossings. Look at Pew Research.
Not just mexico! Even here in the philippines a lot of filipino americans are migrating back together with their families coz theyre remote working. In my building atleast 8 families are back mostly from NY or cali
But at least their roots are Filipino. I Filipino friends who have talked about retiring in their homeland which sounds lovely. I’d love to come visit sometime.
They’re your own people bringing hopefully money & skills.
For real? Wow that’s crazy
Well done, forget, The Philippine economy wouldn’t be what it is today if it wasn’t for OFWs and families abroad sending balikbayan boxes or money to their families in the Philippines for decades. This kept money flowing in the country, as most people couldn’t afford basic needs. For years, kabayans coming in and out helped level and bring the economies afloat.
absolutely. when i went there in 2016 people were surprised I spoke English. in 2024 they find is as normal.
But who is raising the prices? I'm sure foreigners would love to pay less for rent and food. Mexicans are raising the prices not foreigners.
4:32 blaming other immigrants when he doesn’t sound Mexican either lol
Mexicans speak Spanish. A language from Spain a European country.
What’s your point?
I don’t understand why so much disagreement, they are just helping the economy and they aren’t even causing any problems or anything like that. I would say keep them coming and be a great host for them and stop complaining.
Mexican graffiti saying, "Get out Whitey!" Hillarious. Oh the irony.
We are not friends with USA from Mexico
Stay in US please

I love how the girl says, "we speak Spanish" ... well girl, this is what we've been saying for YEARs abt in America, we speak English. Get over it.
America is a continent not a country, the education system failed you. 😂 Spanish conquered majority of the American continent. Oh, and USA has states named in Spanish: Nevada, Colorado, Florida, California, Montana, Arizona… learning history would help you a lot, Debbie downer.
What about all of the illegals sending money back there. That affects inflation too.
Most of the locals who are complaining are upper middle class people who are resentful they’re getting priced out of the Mexico City equivalent to Manhattan. La Condesa and Polanco aren’t neighborhoods that were affordable to the average working class Mexican to begin with
It's true, but nobody wants to be poor. Especially if they were already used to being middle class or upper class.
Since you mentioned Thailand the way Thailand deals with mass tourism and masses of expats too is to have restaurants that specifically cater to them that Thai people wouldn't be caught dead at. Of course they're more expensive. It's not a problem for Thai people. They just avoid. Their local food and prices are available nearby as well. There is also a thing in tourism centers where a foreign food restaurant like a British pub food place will have a separate (overpriced) Thai food menu where real Thai food is available to Thai partners of the non-Thais (with the understanding that the foreigner will pay).
Los Angeles has whole neighborhoods of Spanish only speakers. Signs are in Spanish in lots of places. It happens in the USA too.
This is happening all over the world, especially in big cities. It sucks.
Aren't we about diversity? Sometimes as Latinos we are hypocritical 😂 We just want other countries to tolrate us but we can't do the same.
Yup. That's ridiculous.
1:31 she’s getting mad about something Mexicans do not n the USA as well 😂 by the way I’m a dual citizen but it makes me laugh when Mexicans get mad about immigration when they immigrate the most it’s hypocritical
Yeah dude thats México a bunch of hypocrites and rats, i just laught when ithey hide behind mexican pride it's just propaganda 😂
If I moved to Mexico to live, work or play for a length of time greater than a typical vacation, I’d go out of my way to learn the language as quickly as possible. I just don’t understand why so many people move to the US and never attempt to learn to speak English. It makes life so much harder.
We don't like USA from Mexico stay there please
At what age did you learn your second language? Because the older you get the harder it is. Also every brain is different. Learning a second language is always helpful.
@@susanam2219 Then every brain should at least have Google translator.
@@uniquelines 😂 if you speak more than one language you know google translate is not really that good. But you tell me how many languages do you speak and when did you learn your second language. Because if you haven’t learned a language other than your mother language then you have no say.
@@susanam2219 Oh I got plenty of say. When you’re in a country where you have a ton of people who don’t speak your language (I did take a little Spanish in school) you at least try to communicate any which way possible. They learn and I learn. I never knew people who know two languages could be so arrogant? How much is this trait a sign of IQ I wonder? Then how much with the arrogance?
Every time I used it they knew what I wanted.
Americans and Mexicans have been entering each other's borders for centuries. This is the problem with social media. A superficial video like this may make things appear disastrous. Let the creative chaos work silently and do not frighten people and things will slowly balance out.
Totally agree with you. I’ve been living legally in Mexico for almost two years now. I’ve yet to have or see locals tell me to get out or leave México, but I get along with my neighbors (all Mexicanos) respect the customs, culture and speak Spanish. It’s only ever online when people tell me to leave.
each others ???? no americans always invaded and stole from mexicans and then are invading mexico again ... I think Mexico should put an immigration ' wall ' ... it should work both ways
Agreed
😂😂😂@@_ryukyuanhalfie_
The U.S stole the southwest from Mexicans and treat them like second class citizen, but now you're writing a solidarity comment in which nobody will fall for, you know for a damn fact the U.S citizen are gentrifying Mexico city and you are part of the problem .
This reminds me of Asheville North Carolina it's the Airbnb capital of the South. People from other parts of the country are moving here and pay more than the homes worth because they have the money. Gentrification has been going on since 2019
Gringos only refer to whites, but there are more Latino, Asian, and Black Americans moving to Mexico too, and they’re all about spicy. The housing prices are really an issue everywhere. It’s happening all over the US too.
Gringos are whites, or güeros, but the term in Mexico is also used to refer to Americans in general, or it is also used to refer to something that is culturally American or very American.
“Eso es muy gringo”
Gringo also means black Americans. I know this because I lived in Mexico and I’m a black American.
@@eddiejohnson4434 correct
@@EnriqueMarq güero would refer to someone who is Mexican or Hispanic but light skin or light colored hair

It's the greed of the property owners that is running up the rent. Not the Americans.
why shouldn't they ask for as much as they can get? I don't think Americans are to blame this is just globalization, but they're definitely more to blame than the landlords because who in their right mind would say no to that easy windfall? If you owned property in CDMX you would also charge market rate or more because it's in your best interest to get as much profit as you can out of your property. You would not rent it half the price out of the goodness of your heart. In short: it's not greed, it's the free market. Sorry.
Now they don’t like it when they move into Mexico 😂 but we gotta accept it when they come here to the USA, deal with it Mexico.
Goodluck with the drug cartels
I'm Irish and I live in monterrey Mexico and my daughter was born here. I have a lot of respect for Mexico. 🇲🇽 During the Mexican American war in the 1840s many Irishman called the San Patricios got tired of being discriminated by the American army. They went to Mexico and joined the Mexican army against america. Us Irish did not get a good welcome in the united States when we came but Mexico opened their doors for my people.. There is a movie called "ONE MANS HERO" about the history of us Irish and Mexicans proudly fighting together against america.. ERIN GO BRAGH 🇮🇪MEXICO PARA SIEMPRE 🇲🇽
Thanks for the excellent info. Mexico City seems to be the perfect destination for us remote workers. Let's spread the word. See you soon amigos!
Lol u gonna get robbed😂
😂
Exactly 🤣😂
They get mad when people come into their country...... let me play a very small violin for them.
Come mi xisa wey
We welcome Russia and Canada we don't like USA from Mexico stay in US please
Lets say they are races to foreigners....let play that game since illegal believe Trump is races as well lol
The gentrification is real and it’s not just white Americans, it’s also Venezuelans, Haitians, and now Asians. The locals don’t stand a chance anymore…
Whats the difference between immigrants coming to America and sending their paycheck back to their families. Does that not increase their spending power and raise the cost of things because now they can afford more then someone that isn’t receiving that income?
Imagine how’d they’d feel after 15Mm of them
I would like to just randomly walk up to a group of digital nomads in Mexico that are having a peaceful lunch conversation with each other, and say Spanish speak Spanish we are in Mexico!😂😂😂
They can cross the border but Americans can’t😭
😅😅😅😅
Americans don’t need a visa
But Mexican need it and don’t get easy.
Humans will hate no matter what!
We are not friends with USA from Mexico we love Russia
I live in a city in Brazil named Alto Paraiso de Goias, I myself an immigrant here that arrived to work, Many other European primarily arrived as well an the prices since COVID went up significantly. I don't blame the new arrivals, it's the locals and the authorities who can't regulate the pricing. Most of the city is Airbnb's so the few places to rent are super expensive and so is to buy them. Same scenario here, if the locals business owners weren't so greedy and the authorities actually enforced price regulations this would not be happening.
I love How Mexicans are complaining that Americans are "changing" their areas when we say the same Thing to Mexicans who take up residence in Chicago, Atlanta, and Raleigh
I "love" that you assume that those mexicans moving to the US cities are the same ones complaining about in Mexico City, and probably have never been outside Mexico...
The difference is tht untied states use to be Mexico so the Mexico culture stick around and the people too. The white and Spanish cane from other places. It's just a fact.
I know it's crazy. You can't make this stuff up. Smh
Hate USA from Mexico
@@JayM-bu2wpChicago and Raleigh were NEVER Mexican don’t even try to pull some fake history to justify your hypocrisy
I hope everyone around the world goes to Mexico.
Me too, especially the "cultural enrichers" that have flooded the UK and France.
This is so hilarious that this is happening right back to them. Must suck, but money is money and you will not beat progress.
As a Mexican, it's annoying seeing Mexicans brag about Mexico, but then get mad when everyone starts coming. What did you expect??
Now thats a bit hypocritical.
We are not friends with USA from Mexico
It’s all these different people running out of their countries and expecting others to help them with their tax dollars and while they themselves can’t get assistance from their own government. USA is a prime example! Please stay home and fight for your freedom! Americans patriots can’t fight the whole world for you and it’s not our job to do that!
The irony.
Lower the prices to the highest amount a local can afford, also change the visa from 6 to 3. Sustainable prosperity for all. (Thailand's boom has been going on for a minute) IDK.
Mexico come to America all the time but you put a time limit on America that’s crazy we might as well over take Mexico as a whole
@@WORKSbaby Mexicans can't even visit the US without a visa, so don't whine about getting 3 months instead 6 when you can enter visa free. 3 months is still a decent amount of time.
The funniest part of this video is 1:43 about making the salsa less spicy lol😂😂😂
Same problem in Spain and most of Europe. People are moving to cheaper places for them and making locals not be able to pay houses. Tourist are not the problem, housin is and AirBnb and similar. Here in Spain inverstors buy buildings for these rentals and there are not enough houses so they really get very expensive to live with the spanish salary here. So do we have to go to other countries to displace them and so on? really makes no sense... but looks like it is a world problem
I find amusing is the opening image of the graffit saying "Gringo go home", if you look into the origin of "Gringo" is a neologism forged circa 1850 Meant to locals yelling "Green, go home!" at invading American soldiers (sometimes in conflicts other than the Mexican-American War), in reference to their supposedly green uniforms.
The first and last time I went to ORINOCO was because I was with a friend who was also a foreigner. He had heard that they served the best tacos in CDMX, but honestly, they were pretty bad. It felt like the McDonald's of tacos to me. On top of that, they have the nerve to ask for a tip, and if you don’t give at least 15%, they won’t even thank you.
This happens everywhere like in the Philippines where prices are pegged in US dollars which is unaffordable to the locals. Price increases in rents and food can be controlled by the government. And these Americans are not depending on Mexican dole outs - they all work - unlike a lot of Mexicans in the US.
Pigs go back t
I am laughing so hard, speak Spanish, but we are tourists, and they don't bother to learn English, and they have lived thirty years in the States. America dollars help their economy, and they should be grateful .

Hey Uptin, you get your facts wrong.
Padthai was created in the 50s during rice shortage in Thailand. The recipe was widely shared across the country and with tourism booming post Vietnam war, foreigners started to fall in love with the national dish. To promote tourism and Thai culture, the govt encourages Thai business people to venture overseas in opening Thai eateries, but they have to adhere strictly to the original recipe.
Many people move to America from Mexico from a better life.
How is it any different when Americans move to Mexico for a better life
That the people moving from Mexico to America are not making everyone else's life worse, unlike the illegal American immigrants...
It isnt, it is just anti white racism..
Hahaha, realize the same thing happened with Texas, since Texas was part of Mexico until it was filled with Yankees and they stole the territory from Mexico, but well, the United States will never accept that haha
It's not. It's exactly the same. That's why this whole story is so damn ironic
