- In 2021, over 360,000 people left California in what many are calling The California Exodus. But a rising number of them are migrating out of the country all together and instead, heading south to Mexico to escape rising housing prices, traffic and expensive healthcare.

Why Californians Are Fleeing To Mexico
As a mexican i want to make a serious petition to all americans that plan to live here: please support local businesses, if you are living here dont buy groceries on walmart or big supermarkets, dont buy food to mcdonalls or big fast food chains, we are recieving you with open arms, at least do this for us, thank you
Yo también soy mexicano pero cada quien puede decidir en donde comprar y donde consumir, no los puedes obligar a comprar sólo en comercios locales.
Hmm!...Americans will come, inhabit, then destroy! You'll see!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Tampoco es como que ayude mucho porque ahora los comercios locales van a subir sus precios, es el problema de la gentrificación. Mejor que paguen sus impuestos, su visa de trabajo y que el gobierno regule las rentas, es la única opción viable para no darnos en la madre.
@@JorgeSchz2004no los podemos obligar, pero eso lo mínimo que pueden hacer si no pagan impuestos, aparte de contar con un salario mayor que el promedio de mexicanos
I came from Africa, sold everything to relocate to US, life is hard than expected. I moved back to Africa to start again and now doing great. I have a work life balance
That's awesome. No place like home. I love my country but it's getting to expensive and I'm Indigenous Native American..
It's funny how alot of Africans are moving back to the continents, and thousands are dying of coming to US. You tell them life is not easy in the US they think you don't want them to succeed. Most of the things they see when other visit Africa from US is Iphones, tablets, stories about tesla self driving and they go 🤯🤯
There's little work/life balance in USA.
Good for you mate, cheers.
@@samm552 thx
As a non-mexican I can say house prices will grow like in San-Shitcisco

You are correct. Don't let these Californians in. They created all their problems and now will bring that to you.

@GoldTau-km9dmIf they didn't want to live there they wouldn't be going there to live, did you watch the video
Californians I’ve met are super high maintenance- it’ll be interesting to see how they manage their expectations with the laid back Mexican traditions😂
Shut Up .

I live in both countries and I trust my Mexican doctors so much more. I have my neurosurgeons number and have gotten care I’d never get in the US because the system is not made for the patient, it’s made to benefit the insurance.
Yes, I have to personal phone numbers of my doctors, and I usually get a one hour or more sit down with them. My internist charged me 200 pesos (about $10) for my last visit with him. We sat in his office and discussed not only my health, but literature and the state of the world. But, remember, be deeply afraid of crime. We don´t need more of you down here.
@@desultude If america bought less drugs the blue collar crime would be less in Mexico. Sadly I don't know how to fix the white collar crime problem.
I am surprised at how good and affordable health care in mexico actually is. My wife got sick 2x there and the care was good both times. Once the doctor made a house call!
Any relationship with the Flores woman running for Congress?

To the senior citizens like me who doesn't have any savings and depend only on our $900 SS income, Mexico is a great option to avoid homelessness.
With $200 I cover housing and utilities in a nice 2 bedroom apartment.
The rest is for medical, dental, food, travel and entertainment. Such a wonderful life style that I could not enjoy in the USA.
Yeah but what about the crime plus guns are banned
@@nikolaievans2432 you do realize that you are living in the second most dangerous country in the world. Only South Africa is more dangerous than the USA.

*It's 2024, the CAFE CON LECHE Travels couple featured in this documentary NO LONGER LIVE IN MEXICO and HAVE BOTH SEPARATED.* I followed their TH-cam channel and they LEFT Mérida, Mexico (several months after this documentary was published) and BOTH MOVED BACK TO LOS ANGELES in late 2022! Also as of November 2023, Travis announced on his personal TH-cam channel that he and David have separated and he now "travels the world" solo, full-time making content for his vlogs! I wish these types of quickly made documentaries would give updates in the description of the video at least, because life situations change all the time. This isn't the first time I've seen a situation where a couple or a person moves somewhere and it looks all idyllic and serene in the video but then a life-event happens and a total 180 is made a year or more later. I know a guy who left California for North Carolina and was going on and on about how he and his wife had a bigger home ONLY TO MOVE BACK TO CAL less than a few years later!
Thank you for referring to them as "American immigrants" and not "expats". For some reason when Americans (and other Westerners) migrate to another country, they want to call themselves "expats" but when others migrate to America, they call them immigrants.
Facts
americans, as always, being eternal hypocrites.
Agreed. They try to make it sound trendy bc westerners put a negative connotation behind “immigrants.”
Expatriates and immigrant are two different things. You should at least look up the term in the dictionary (it's free!) before trying to sound smart on the internet, because it makes you look stupid.
So do they have voting rights in Mexico?
So does anyone not see the irony in this? Why happens to the natives of these countries that see an influx of rich or well off foreigners moving capturing up property/homes? Will they not experience the same problem these foreigners did in their home countries?
No one asks that question when Mexicans and other move to the USA
Yes we see it, it's a vicious cycle!
On one hand the dollar helps with the economy and on the other hand, all the foreigners are driving the property prices higher unaffordable to us Mexicans.
Basically moving to Mexico is like being an investor if u have a place in the states but then get another in Mexico that u are just another investor causing housing to go up in areas but u are living in Mexico and not just buying up place to re rent anytime. so i can see why Mexicans be mad any by chance. i guessing they wanna get a place that is new but if we go and take up all the new places then residents who actually lived there a long time are priced out cause foreigners are taking places that residents try to get but cant for any reason. so now Americans are turning into investors by keeping 2 places for any reason. so overall no shock.
@@Thebrothaisback because it's not the same
This wouldn't be a problem if American cities would fix their zoning laws to get rid of the R1 zoning, banning anything but low density, single family, detached houses. The majority of land in America's cities is zoned for that, banning everything else. This creates shortages of housing all over America.
There needs to be re zoning allowing for land to be used for medium density housing like duplexes, townhouses, and even apartment buildings; along with mixed use to better meet the needs of people. California's major metro areas are well past the point where it is worth the money to tear down R1 housing and replace it with better uses of the land. This would relieve the shortages for all uses.
America's major cities also need to get rid of their rampant car dependency, which only leads to congestion. This is done by providing other options, giving Americans freedom of choice in how they move from place to place and liberating them from the de facto requirement to own cars.
Thanks for the segment.
On my first of three total trips to Mexico, we crossed the border back in the 1980s when a CA DL was okay for an ID. We dayhiked a peak and when we got back down to our cars to head home after a great day in the mountains, we were surrounded by two dozen rifle bearing members of the Mexican Army. Everyone said we were lucky it wasn’t the Federalis. They took what was not theirs anyway. Éramos alpinistas.
California has 39 million residents. When 2.4 million Californians leave California in a year for Mexico or anywhere else… that will be a story. 360,000 isn’t a drop in the bucket for our overpopulated state.
The yrs add up
I cross the border often and the biggest problem is when the locals in the tourist areas are losing business because of the Americans taking over with their own businesses. They invest with other Americans instead of Mexicans and it really hurts the Mexican economy and creates a bigger disparity. It's sad.
Duh "Americans" even though Mexicans are also Americans have always took advantage of the poorer countries than get angry when they migrate to the u.s lol
Soooo basically the exact same thing that happens in the US...can't say that just a couple of minutes into this video, this wasn't one of the first things I thought was gonna be an issue. Also, the 1st two individuals you interviewed this thing are internet content creators...? 🤨 Really? So not, like, an average American or American couple that has a more normal or average job, huh...? Well, ok then...guess I'll just imagine I can relate to their plight here in the US. 🙄
No different than Mexicans coming to America. So it’s a balance
@@Rells26 there is a big difference. The US is a 1st world country and Mexico is a 2nd world country. Taxes aren't the same. Rules and regulations are completely different in both countries, not to mention the cartels who take over your business. In Mexico you can't be an immigrant and ask for a loan from the bank, you have to be a citizen to even purchase any property. You don't see children in the US who live in poverty risking their lives on the streets blowing fire out of their mouths just to make a few pennies like Mexican children do. There's so much I can discuss on how different it really is. US citizens going to Mexico just to save money and Mexican citizens going to the US to make any money, there's a difference.
@@thehealingqueensv I get your cry. I don’t agree with neither but hey both are happening
As a Mexican that used to live in Mexico City, I can agree that foreigners living in Mexico are raising rent and property prices overall. My wife and I rented a small loft in a "share living" building. Our rent was around 475 USD a month, with internet, water, electricity and gas included. It may seem quite cheap for someone earning in USD, however, to put things into perspective, rent was equivalent to over a third of our household income. Even though we considered ourselves lucky to have found that loft, it still made daily living with other expenses quite difficult. This is because the city, or at least the good, interesting and touristy parts, are built for foreigners, not locals. This makes life difficult to enjoy for the average Mexican that maybe earns around 350 USD a month.
THIS GODDAMNIT THIS hdsptm
I live in Florida and this happening to us😥Rent a year ago was the most $500 now it has sky rocketed to $1000 and higher.

We are getting screwed in the USA for cost of health insurance, housing, food, cars. I applaud anyone who is able to get the hell out of this pit and start a good life somewhere where the cost of living doesn't leave you having to live in the streets.
Yeah, if the US doesn’t get rid of the separating zoning laws and single family zoning their birth rate probably won’t return to replacement.
good👍

They key is not to move into an expat area. I have a house in Guadalajara. I can drive to Lake Chapala if I want a $5 coffee. But I am happy to walk my neighborhood and enjoy the leisure lifestyle in a small suburban town.
That's what I did, in 2018, when I fled for India, where I have ancestral and cultural links to this homeland. I feel like India is an ancestral homeland for me.
The problem is plain and simple the White Man. The White Man is the one who cuts hours, wages, benefits, outsources jobs, doesn't provide training for entry-level technical jobs, forces people to work unnatural hours, AND raises the cost of living for everyone else, and he does this to his own people, even. He makes the rest of us whiteys look bad.
This is wild. This is what happened to the small town I grew up in. A lot of wealthy New Yorkers wanted summer/weekend homes and now I could never afford to love there. My parents bought our house for 18,000 and the last time it sold for a million dollars. It’s crazy to imagine.
Exactly this happens so much to many of us In the hood or ghetto
@@shinigamix4481 Except that most people in the Ghetto are renters, not homeowners...so they can't really do much to oppose it. However, in the countryside, they let it happen until they can't.
@@shinigamix4481 Yeah, the welfare office LMAO
What town is that
@@Lauri2014 but rent goes up regardless, you might as well paid for the house . With the type of mortgages that are given.
They don't want it,so let's take it and see how they like it.
It’s important to remember that Mexico is a wealthy country - just all the wealth is directly at the top and leaves close to nothing for the majority. The US is heading towards this.
Exactly!
Thank you.
So true
U dont know the definition of a “wealthy” country…like every single country in the world,they would all be considered “wealthy” according to your definition….corruption exists everywhere..of course, the top people of every country will be super rich…mexico might be a “wealthy” country in terms of natural resources or what not,but if u mean “wealthy” in terms of gdp..then mexico is a 2nd world at best,perhaps even a 3rd world country
@@paull1027 They are just on the brink of a second world country at the very worst, don't exaggerate
Mexico is just another planet . It’s not what the media shows you. I love the stress free lifestyle. Mexico is living ❤️

Drug cartel violence, kidnappings, political uncertainty. You can have Mexico. Just wondering why more Mexicans are still leaving Mexico and heading to the USA.
Pssst. Do we really want more estadounidenses?
Mexico Stress Free? Lol
Well done report !!!
My house was paid off. I rented it and now live in South America Airbnb for 1/4 of expenses I had in America. I don’t work just enjoy life.
Myself and wife and kids moved to Mexico last year for 6 months. We lived in a gated community 3 bedroom, 2 bath CASA and food and utilities and gas and rent and internet and swimming like 3 day's a week and getting ice cream and eating out once a week for $1,000 a month (no joke) with 5 kids lol it can be much cheaper than that but we wanted to live comfortably. Yes Mexico has it's problems lol just don't go out late at night and mind your business and your fine. Oh wait, that's the USA as well 😂😂 we came back only because we just tried it out. The Mexican people are amazing and very welcoming. So Yes I vote Mexico over USA any day!
Total opposite of the United States.
😂 that’s awesome that you were able to try it out with your fam.
There are so many other countries way better than the US. Congrats on your move. Life is what we make it for sure but location and culture is a huge part of it. I'm hoping to leave the US for Europe soon. Cheers.
So uh….
Go back and stay.
@@jamzee_ Well Let me explain something to you. Listen and learn. We want to go to Belize next but.....had to come back to the USA to make money more money in order to do this as I don't want to run out of savings in 5 Years! Thanks for your comment 😁
The Cali exit is hurting other states. Cali needs to get its own house in order. The cost of living in CO has skyrocketed in the last 10 years. 1 main factor is Cali residents overpaying for houses. Bc it’s still a fraction of what they were paying.
same thing is happening in Idaho
it’s honestly bound to happen to most states with rapidly growing population because of the way we build our cities and the pace we are building houses . California had a massive migration from other states until there was no more space to build anymore . Now other states are getting that influx and seeing what Californians have been experiencing for years . The same with New York where i live . they are just building no stop because every new housing is almost always filled up or brought .
They also bring their mixed indoctrination and political views which imbalances the home we grew up in. I think it's possibly intentional on a bigger scale
@@shaddythewiz3836 yes thank you. Someone with a brain.
CA had a surplus last year. Heck, they’re giving money away! They’ve gotten so bold with the extra cash that they’re going to be the first state to pay reparations. They’re not even making a serious effort to find all the scammers who stole unemployment during the pandemic.
Used to live in El paso and was in commercial construction.
Back in 85 the whole workforce was coming over from Juarez and making 7.50 an hour. They were very rich and they had multiple businesses in Juarez. Bars, hotels and so on and so forth.
Mexico is a beautiful country and I've visited numerous cities. A lot of culture and good friendly people, The food is extraordinary and wonderful.
Gentrification is a major issue. Won’t be surprised to hear about protests happening once locals are getting pushed out by American immigration
Yeah, but "they're" damned either way; "they" move in and are blamed for gentrification, "they" move out and are blamed for 'white flight'.
What? Like an American president calling Mexicans rapists? I think Mexico has already demonstrated much more civility than America.
The irony is a lot of those people that fled to Mexico are probably anti gentrification lmao
Exactly
You cant buy land in panama no more. A 300² meters lot is like $18k usd. Thank you very much Americans.
Honestly it's happening everywhere. Where I live, 1 bedroom apartments are approaching the $2100 a month mark, and there's no signs of it slowing down at all. And then people come from places like California, where they're used to the higher cost of living, and they'll buy houses with cash without even having seen the property yet here. I literally can't buy a house because all I have is a loan, and every time I make an offer, someone just offers up literally 5x the amount in straight up cash and I get tossed to the side for obvious reasons. It seriously sucks.
Thanks for watching☝️Get-in-touch , Let's discuss on Financial investments'
Save your money and bide your time. A correction is coming. Probably a very big one.
Same thing is happening all over the US as well. They are selling their properties in California for millions and then going elsewhere and offering cash.
I read the avg profit on a Ca home sale is 800k so yeah they have enough to buy a couple of houses all cash in most places of the country. I also was losing out with all cash bidding 30 to 50k over asking price and then started looking at houses that others didn't want. I finally got a house that sat for 2 weeks that was nasty for 30k less than asking price. Take what the market gives you. I'll have equity when I am done instead of over paying trying to outbid someone else. Or wait for a correction. It's a cycle and always has been. What's different now though is hedge funds are buying properties too so you might not see as much of a price decline but you might have a better selection.
I still pay just $550 a month all utilities included for my one bedroom apartment here in Wyoming. That same price I paid 6 years ago.
I left California for the Philippines. I wish I could say it's been great. The cost of living is definitely a big plus. It's kinda nice to buy groceries and only pay the equivalent of less than $20 for a full bag of groceries. But there are other things to consider when moving to another country. Some are as mundane as hot water or the lack thereof. Compromises have to be made. The big question is can you adapt. As a young man it is easier to adapt. But at 67 years old it becomes a serious conversation.
Lack of hot water sometimes, bad piping. The water has a weird smell to it. No more baths in lots of places. However, it's so cheap 😂 I'm waiting to get a permanent resident visa.
I used to live in Mexico I hve family there I live off grid so it’s perfect for me
Not American, living in Mexico for 4 years now. Beautiful place to live.
Dans quelle région êtes-vous ?
free place too... I was so caught by surprise while living there how everything was easy and how little government interferes with your daily life... one of the cheapest driver's license in the world... that's always a sign of a place that has real Freedom... less bureaucracy... employment might be a problem though, I could not figure out how to hired "legally" by companies
@@FeelingShred there are always gonna be trade offs innit
lived in the Acapulco region for 6 months and paid USD 120 to share a big furnished apartment with another guy, all utilities included... most apartment buildings in mexico also have access to rooftop... what a nice place
The Americans should move to Vietnam
The fact that no taxes are being paid to Mexico is messed up. People need to contribute to basic services, sanitation, water etc...
You buy all your water in Mexico for household and drinking purposes. There are no underground pipes. If you buy property, you pay taxes and say even renting an airbnb, you pay 20% taxes on the rent. Same for hotels. Believe me: Mexican local and federal governments are taking advantage of the influx of tourists and new residents.
Thats funny because when we say this about immagrants who come to the US we are somehow racist.
Immigrants*
@@crzyruskie86 what? Immigrants that come to US pay taxes either in US or their home country. Countries have this agreement so that people don't have to pay dual taxes. Infact, immigrants pay more taxes than the American citizens, and they have no rights either.
@@crzyruskie86 they do pay income taxes because they work local jobs people that say that are either racist/uninformed. People with remote jobs aren't contributing, they don't pay the state taxes for the utility, school, medical benefits they receive. They're in effect leeches
I make good money but the other day I visited a veterinarian to see how much it would cost to have a simple surgery performed on one of my pets and it just blew my mind so yes I did go to Mexico and it literally only costed me about 15% of what it would have here in the states
The two most popular neighborhoods in Mexico City, Condesa and Roma, have had their prices drive up. It does gentrify but it brings new opportunities as well. Money, security, jobs... And it's not just from USA, there's also from Canada, Spain, Britain, Germany. We have lots of Koreans and Russians...
Luckily, the city passed a law that requires 33 percent of new development projects to be for lower income budgets, even in such nice neighborhoods.
We just want migrants to respect the law and culture, to leave their prejudice at the border, to support local business, to learn spanish. And remember, if you came here it's because you saw Mexico was getting better, you can't put it down anymore.
How multicultural has Mexico City become?
@@polishherowitoldpilecki5521 it has always been, but now it's more noticeable as it's a new wave
I think they will destroy the place just like they did Hawaii.

As a mexican living near to the minimum wage (here in Mexico), I would also love to live in a cheaper place and profit from the locals as well.

It's annoying how your video
Is only promoting more Americans to live here raising rental costs. Thanks for doing that.
I lived in Tijuana many years. I kept seeing more and more Americans, Mexican-Americans start to live there. I lived in Tijuana and worked in San Diego, the rents in TJ started to increase dramatically as more people started to move in. The lines to cross at the border got longer and longer. The bad thing is that many people live in Tj, but have no legal status to live there, as such, it is hard to estimate the population and find resources for this natives to Mexico.
Move here in Philippines😉
Border slum
Los dólares mijo $$$
Sounds kind of familiar to us in the states too. LOL
Lol. @Noel Ramirez Y'all are getting a taste of what the US has been dealing with for some time now. It's nice to see the roles reverse for a change. Lol. Don't complain.
I'm hearing from friends that this migration trend is everywhere. Locals of a tropical island that were once sustained primarily by seasonal tourism are now being gentrified by swarms of remote workers from the states and driven out by the resulting 10x increase in cost of living.
So mainly them pesky californians driving up prices for everyone and turning other places into homeless encampments.
@anon google account That's not gonna happen. Phoenix was growing way before the work at home movement
Yeah if i had a remote job id prob move to Puerto Rico- i like the vibes there. And i wouldnt want to be a money leech- id support locals with shops and stuff because thats how everyone benefits.
Don’t forget to blame the ones who started all this, not the ones who are just trying to survive.
Sounds like what happened to Hawai’i just after WW2
If it wasn't for my kids/grandkids, I would go to Mexico or somewhere 🎉❤
1:35 This particular thing was happening all over the US as well. Wherever people were moving to, housing and rent was skyrocketing. This was definitely happening in Nashville.
That's why my friend moved to Brazil. Cost of living is way cheaper. Bought a house own it tax-free
Yup, a large amount of Californian businesses are moving to Utah, and prices are going up...
Well this seems pretty problematic…
I can see the Mexican and local governments allowing this for economic reasons (even if they don’t pay taxes, they spend money on Mexican businesses, which generates substantial tax revenue by itself on top of direct foreign investment of sorts), but this definitely won’t continue forever, especially once local politics catches up and Mexican voters start getting outraged. These people are basically recreating the very problems that led them to flee California, but in Mexico. They are now the rich pricing the average people out of their homes. Except in this case, the wealthy aren’t even citizens and likely aren’t interested in becoming naturalized due to their home country’s labor laws. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out over the next 15 years’ time.
i would crackdown on that
Mexico should take steps to protect their citizens. But if they don't, I have little sympathy
Mexico needs to put up a wall
@@Magneticitist jajaajaja
@@Magneticitist make Mexico great again 🤓
This is low key terrible, those moving out to other states or Mexico are raising rates wherever they go. If you’re going to live in a different area then stop out pricing the locals and pour into local businesses. Be considerate of the locals there and respect the culture in place. That’s all I’m saying.
it seems like it's the american way. move to another country, jack up the prices, get mad when you're the problem people are getting kicked out, the cycle repeats. Sad...really sad.
Basic demand and supply. No one want price raise anywhere they go. Ask the sellers, they only want more money.
Same thing is going on in portugal
@@0fficialdregs It's not something that is done on purpose with bad intent. Ever heard of something really basic called supply and demand?
Most people moving to Mexico from California are Mexican-Americans
The world is changing and people are more fluid than ever. I've owned a home north of Puerto Vallarta for 7 years. I will retire there. I can't buy anything comparable in the US. Many Canadians and Americans are there and many tourists. Summer tourists are mostly Mexican The rest of the time worldwide but predominently Canadian and US. Lots of digital nomads from everywhere too.
My hometown is Silver Spring MD. That town had a huge influx from Central America. In recent years it grew a large Ethiopean community.
I noticed this happening in El Paso a couple of years ago. I have family on both sides and I spent a year there on my retirement celebration
I like how they conveniently ignore the crime open drug use and homelessness for reasons why people are leaving California
It correlates to the same things if you trace back the root cause. Drug addiction and homelessness is a societal issue, and the society that is their every day reality is that of inequality and unaffordable living. Which is why they drink and do drugs and can’t afford an apartment to begin with.
@@mopes2713 Ironic how Californians are doing the exact same thing they espouse they despise. By moving to mexico, they are gentrifying the local area, one process they blame for increasing inequality and unaffordable living.
They did mention rising crime, but homelessness was definitely ignored.
Also the woke attitude (which, in part at least, contributes to the things you mentioned) went unsaid.
I stopped watching when, at about 50 seconds, the narrator failed to mention that as the main cause.
This is not to suggest that all Californians are woke, it goes without saying.
@@staninjapan07 lol People aren’t leaving California because of Wokeness, it’s because we are living in a time of late stage capitalism and massive inflation. Capitalism is unsustainable and does not work for the benefit of the many. Lol what the hell have you been listening to??
These people trying to justify pricing out locals in Mexico are 100% the same ones complaining about gentrification of U.S cities. Oh the area is not made for locals. Dude that is basically the same reason people give for gentrified areas. Once you price people out, its no longer for lower income people. And the point about bringing in additional money to Mexico when they moved there. You are basically doing the same thing when an area gets gentrified. Better shops and better/more jobs. I hope these people can see the hypocrisy of their actions and statements
Thank you, I made the same comment. People have turned into the monster they fear.

I have seriuos doubts about this particular point. $900 a month is just above middle class in mexico.

People live in "first world" countries not only because of affluence but because, regardless of wealth, they still require affordable living costs, rents, etc. The pandemic has taught us that we don't necessarily need to be physically present where our work is. If you choose to live in a new place, it's essential to support the locals. It's the least you can do.
Great place to retire though for costs. Ive concidered it. Ive never been there but visiting Cozumel next April. Im excited.
As a mexican engineer who had to leave Mexico in search of a better-paying job, I found out that in OK most jobs offered are blue collar manual labor. Still, we moved there and took the jobs. Life turned out to be very different from what we expected, with bad quality health and education systems, expensive, heavy on politics, military mindset and weapons. To learn that the same US citizens who refuse to fill these manual labor jobs in their own country will be raising the cost of living back in my country is hard to digest.
please go back to your homeland. you need to focus what you can do for your nation, not what your nation can do for you. you have no allegiance or loyalty. just a me, me, me mentality.
This is the exact conversation I’ve had with many r*ci$t$. “Oh, if America is so bad why does everyone keep coming here???”. Because they, just like you, are fed a crock of lies only to realize America isn’t the gleaming land of opportunity it’s portrayed to be. I work with a lot of immigrants and every single one has told me they wish they could go back home, they regret coming here, or they would much rather go home but what’s stopping them is the jobs don’t pay enough. They suffer here so they can send money back home. At least that’s what they’ve told me.
Most of our produce stems from Mexico and illegals picking in farms here in America because most Americans don't want to pick fruit!
Me, I love gardening and wouldn't mind helping on the field, but it's hard to find this work since the illegals are doing it or may be private American run places
Most Americans that discriminate Mexicans simply have no idea that they're the ones responsible for putting some/ most of the produce on their plate
@@shac9131 So you want to continue the exploitation of labor while undermining the sovereignty of a nation for cheap produce? I'm sorry but Americans can pick the fruit on their farms. We don't need greedy businesses taking advantage of cheap labor. We will gladly pay higher prices and develop new technology to automate the process.
@@shac9131 The exploitation of labor and evasion of taxes must stop. We must take care of our own country and maintain our national sovereignty and in turn, our own destiny as a people.
Same thing is happening in Puerto Rico, a lot of wealthy people from the US buying properties in the island turning them into air bnbs etc, putting people in the streets because they get kicked out of the apartments they lived in for years. Making it impossible for the people from Puerto Rico to afford a house now days.
Everywhere the US goes, the worse that place becomes.
Real estate is ruining America.
Why do the government sell out to foreigners????
They are doing the same thing in the US. The Government should tax more these people who owns a multiple Air Bnb's specially if they live out of State. They are driving the houses through the roof!
hi I'm Fenny Permatasari, international relations student from Indonesia.
I'm looking for a Mexican or American to help me with my final assignment for a course. Are you willing to help me?
I am in Red Louisiana. I know 7 couples that are living a Greta life in Mexico, from this town alone! Mexico is a paradise!
México should charge taxes to all those who make home office from Mexico to companies outside the country.
They are not staying as tourists they are working.
So America should do the same to mexicans who flock to the us fair play and all that
@@euphiemiadrake5633 absolutely they do it even if you are ilegal, the only diference is that there is no return of taxes for us.
they aren't getting paid pesos (or by any mex job), so technically they aren't working in mexico
That’s not gonna work trust me that happened over here in California during January Brown’s campaign in the late 2000s. When companies and corporations were shipping jobs after China they raise the taxes but all I did was give the government more money and did nothing to stop job decreases.
@@euphiemiadrake5633 Actually they do pay taxes. Not just from purchasing goods and services but out of their paychecks tue government takes their portion.
“If the American people allow private banks to control the issue of money, first by inflation, and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” - Thomas Jefferson.
that quote sounds like karma

@@jessicah3782 ??????
The *private* banks cannot hurt anyone, it’s the *government* banks and *fiat* money you are forced to use.
Jefferson did not say this. There were no corporations when Jefferson lived and the terms deflation and inflation were not in use. Ignorant troll.
Nice report, just wish there was mention of cartel crime and safety considerations of those who moved/plan to move. Many people of different nationalities watching the report with no idea why this wasnt asked. Is cartel danger only relevant in the border area of Texas and not CA?
This happened in some towns in Dominican Republic, they were fishing towns, beautiful beaches, but of course the government let richer immigrants build hotels, open stores, restaurants, and houses. All the locals were kicked out. While many countries are paradise and affordable for foreigners, the locals are barely making it
Happening to Native Hawaiians as well. 😪
They deserve it because those people have been coming to America driving up housing, rent and education prices for DECADES. You don’t like it when the tables turn though.
What neighborhoods are those in D.R.?
In the Dominican Republic, the locals are so f'n lazy that if a door knob falls off a door it will stay there on the ground until the building collapses. Theres a reason they're poor.
@Michelle I didn't realize it's the government the provides jobs. Im a capitalist. Get off your ass and make things happen rather than waiting on someone else to "provide" you with jobs ... Genius
I followed the Cafe con Leche guys from the beginning. They had good content. They have returned to the United States because the job opportunities were not very good in Mexico. The grass is not always greener over the border. I think Mexico is a better retirement location.

California plans to spend $22 billion for housing. $21 billion for compliance and consultations, $1 billion to pay for $500k tents.
They did it with their mobile homeless tiny tiny tiny garbage box that cost them $160,000 each. Oh wait, it was Los Angeles that started that wave and the people who got the contracts were friends of the Los Angeles city officials. On a greater scale, I can see how California would squander that money to make little room for any displaced individuals while raking in the majority of that $88 billion. You're right!
wish i could upvote more than once.
$21b for compliance, consultations, zoom meetings and hella bureaucracy just to help the citizens lmaooo

I liked the video; however, the fact that no local (low-income) person nor Mexican-American was interviewed says a lot about it as well. I am a Mexican-American, and I finished my primary and secondary education in Oaxaca, Mexico. After graduating community college in the LA area I decided to move to the Tijuana/San Diego area to finish my Bachelors in International Relations. Even though I am living in my country (since I hold Mexican citizenship), I acknowledge that I am also contributing to gentrification. What do I do to really support the local community? I buy in convenience stores, small businesses, rising restaurants that are NOT located in wealthy neighborhoods. Corruption and inequality in Mexico is much greater than in the US, and if the US dollar will remain in wealthy areas across Mexican cities, then “supporting the locals” is a false statement.
Mexican Americans are from old Mexico!, There's 27 continentel american countries, the united states is just one of them!!!
Mexicans and there reservation brothers and sisters are the real americans!!!.
I thought about being an expat and living down in Mexico. Like Ixtapa, Cancun or maybe Mazatlan. But then I moved to North Carolina. Don't regret it at all. Glad to be here.
Corruption is just as bad in the US just do some research.
I just wouldn’t want to live in Mexico ever.
@@elenashteiwi4739 This is stupid. Mexico far far worse on the corruption index. Generally, 3rd world nations are far more corrupt than 1st world ones.
In most cases an expat is someone who moved to snother country to work, and has a work permit that grants them legal residency.
If the politicans are smart they'll start advertising & incentivizing business & investment opportunities in the local to those moving to Mexico, if they play it right Mexican business owners could see a flood of capital with lower interest rates and spur more and better employment for the locals.
I did! I LOVE MEXICO!!!! Not just for saving, for enjoying life, traveling within Mexico, endless options from historic, city, nature. Sophisticated cities, great medical care, dinning, theater. Mostly, I feel so much safer. Schools, Churches, sacred places.
Where in Mexico did you move to
@@nsanenthembrane if she feels safe definitely not the north, nor the south, nor Mexico City or Acapulco, or the state of Sinaloa. Pretty much any big city in Mexico.

I'm Mexican, used to live a great life in Tijuana until now, I'm being kicked out by people from the US, it's funny how that works, I wish I could afford to keep living here where I was born, but rent has tripled since the pandemic drove San Diegans here. Honestly, I just wish they'd shut up about how cheap everything is, what do they think business owners do after hearing this over and over.

Yet he's the one being interviewed and you're just one more sad comment in the comment section.
I'm not gonna lie I have been thinking about moving to Greece or Indonesia. It's too damn expensive for anything here in the US.
I think this trend is only going to grow. It's just getting too expensive for the average North American now. Not only rent but everything else is out of most peoples affordability. I'm actually thinking of the Mexican migration myself. I currently live in Vancouver ,Canada and am finding it just too expensive in the last few years. Good program. Thank you.
Technology has really made possible to decongest the cities, future will be about many smaller cities instead of a large metropolis, will lead to even distribution of wealth & population across the cities, thus keeping prices in check. Reduced migration will also help in building healthy sustainable communities.
Incorrect! all humans will be centralized into a few cities, per the WEF to protect the planet, wealth will never be evenly distributed because thats impossible to do and maintain a viable economy.
Will still get more expensive for folks not doing anything with their life.
Even distribution is only attainable from force such as communism marxism socialism .
Natural resources do not support the claim of an even distribution between wealthy and other populations, why? the wealthy do not want communities with the unwealthy. Technology will not again will not replace natural resources or reduce the damage significantly enough for man to survive the future harsh summers and winters. Believe me man cannot survive forever and if anyone believes technology will save this world they need to go to outer space and live.
even distribution of wealth ia socialism.
It's happening in Florida as well. A lot of people during the pandemic moved here, and now the price for everything is going up. And the people who moved here, now are finding that Florida is just as expensive as where they came from. Specially bad in the Southwest area thanks to the retiree community buying up all the homes so they can have a second or even third home to do old people things.
South Florida is expensive
Californians and New Yorkers are driving up the cost EVERYWHERE! Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, now MEXICO! Why don’t they change the ridiculous amount of laws and housing cost in their state instead of bringing their problems to the rest of us! We have increased traffic and increased rent due to y’all! Thanks a lot! I had to move from ATL to NC because my rent doubled!

Why not, most of them came from there to start with, and there is no language barrier.
Mexico has stronger private property rights than the USA for primary residences. You generally can't have your home foreclosed for property taxes or HOA dues like in the States.
Plus, firearms related crimes aren't prosecuted as aggressively down there as in the U.S. Mexico, in many ways, is also more 2nd amendment friendly. Hank Yoo got nine years for not disclosing his diagnosis on Form 4473 in Texas.

I am a dual citizen who moved to mexico in 2020 and lived there for over a year. Now i just moved back to CA, trust me there are massive trade offs, as much as I loved Mexico being back in CA feels good. There are a lot of things that are a hot mess down there too, moving because you think the grass is greener on the other side and it will fix any problems is the wrong approach. Moving because you retired or are going to pay cash for your house down there is much better, for me i discovered it wasnt all I hoped for, now I am buying a small ranch in California and will try to live peacefully and enjoy traveling to the state parks across the US, another thing you cant do in Mexico without worrying about the cartels unfortunately. Everyones experience will be diferent so best of luck to anyone about to take on the endeavor!
Why did you leave Mexico?
@@user-pv3rl2lv4p read what he wrote!!
@@user-pv3rl2lv4p He said that he didn't like the food and he wasn't expecting there to be so much Mexican food.

Was your main reason for moving the cartel?
Are New Yorkers going to Venezuala?
I am learning Spanish right now. Knowing Italian seems to make it easier.
Californians and New Yorkers are reaking havoc everywhere now, it used to be gentrification domestically but now they're going international with it. This wouldn't have happened if these residents understood that paying over half their income on rent wasn't sustainable EVER and normalization of that and living paycheck to paycheck to say their live in NYC or LA, was disastrous.
What I hate most about this is that they don't call themselves 'illegals' or 'immigrants' rather 'digital nomad' or 'expat' because of the negative connotation, yet fail to see the hypocrisy.
Maybe because they got a visa. Well you have to have a visa to be in Mexico for more than two-three days.
Also I doubt Mexico would give them welfare & such like the US.
@@TriforceOfTheGods80the welfare is for senior citizens that can't work
They are objectively not 'illegals' because they travel with a visa and have explicit permission to enter the country.
Maybe the Visa that they required and the fact that they pay their own rent and pay for their own food might also be reasons.
Half of my crew live in Mexico and cross the border each day for work... They are living much better lives then the other half of the crew who live on the American side.

Why do these documentaries always talk about "remote work" and "work from anywhere" as if it's more common than it is? That's a minority of people. The vast majority of people do working class jobs that require their physical presence. The people that make and serve your food and clean up after you can't just "work from anywhere". They don't have the luxery of working from home. They have to get up everyday and go some place they don't want to be and do things they don't want to do even during a pandemic while some are complaing that "we're all stuck at home". Uh, no "WE'RE" not. It's like they don't think anyone without a white collar career matters, so they barely bother to acknowledge they exist.
and a lot of white collar jobs need your physical presence as well I work at a bank but I still need to physically be there helping customers
@@ff6605 If you're in the USA your job might not last long. I'm in the North-East and have both savings and checking account at the same bank.

He ended up using ATMs to put these huge checks into the bank. Kind of scary!
I agree , this video is a bit classist
Clearly this video wasn’t meant for those people. It’s not classist… it’s targeted.
SOLDIERS GO TO WORK EVERYDAY TOO, BUT DoD CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN AT HOME WORKING FOR 2 YEARS NOW!!!
As a Mexican, I see this problem not only along the border but also in major Mexican cities. The problem is that a lot of these Americans don't even bother to understand Mexican culture and feel entitled to what they have only because they're "contributing their dollars to the economy." But they really are driving rent prices up, and sometimes without even paying taxes. It's gentrification and there's no nice way to put it.
Have an American who moved out of South Texas, I had my same view when Latinos cross the border illegally into our country, a big population did the exact same thing so I don't see what the complaining is about. However I apologize that ignorant Americans are treating you like that. Hopefully our relationship will be better.
I wish I felt sorry for you but when usa needed you to stop sending all your unskilled bottom of the barrel people that lower quality of life to America and also refuse to learn English you all just laughed and called us racist. Now that its the other way around its bad huh.
Like Mexicans who don’t even bother to learn English
Lol as if people that come here to America pay taxes lol. And work under table taking jobs whatever
Totally agree
A take away is maybe try living further away from the city, if you can work from home that’s a blessing.
I came very close to being raised in Mexico. My dad was one of the best supervisors at his plant, and his company had another one opening in Mexico City and offered my dad the opportunity to transfer. He really wanted to do it but my mom refused. I have always been drawn to visiting there. My mom had a lot of Mexican friends around in my childhood, too.

If you're not mexican you cannot buy property there. So if anyone on this video said you can buy a condo...not true.
Up Next: "why has Mexico suddenly become way more expensive to live in?"
Honestly it wouldn't be so bad if the wealth these immigrants bring ends up in México, but it doesn't, many of those properties belongs to people living outside México, so the money briefly touches México only to leave the country, it doesn't help these immigrants still expend their money in the us rather that going to México's pockets.
When I came to live in Mexico in early 2001, I rented a 3 Br house for 250 per mo. An ocean front trailer today can go for up to $1,000 per month, with condos going for up to $2,000 per month. Why, because the same condo 40 minutes north in San Diego can go for $4,000 per month. American Realtors are flooding the border town where I live, marketing to Americans the relative deals available, for their profit. Playas de Rosarito, B.C. is now over 32% Expats looking for a cheap retirement. I came back to my birth country to enjoy the relaxed lifestyle and the lovely people, not to mention the food. But they are pricing this area out of the hands of the locals faster than they can find where to live.
If you went to a different country from your place of origin to settle there temporarily or permanently, you are not an expatriate, you are an inmigrant.

Mexican Word Of The Day: SOFA KING
It's Sofa King hot down in Mexico this time of year! 😂
It’s not as easy living in Mexico as it looks/sounds. Yes, Mexico is beautiful but having “an American (Californian) way of life” type of quality forces Americans to live in a “bubble” in Mexico. ALL bubbles end up popping. It’s unsustainable. Like what California has caused to it’s own residents.
Mexico does not have the infrastructure and moreover their culture will eventually not allow for bossy entitled Americans (Californians) to drive them out of their own. Many Americans (not all) have chosen to be obstinately spoon-fed. To them being a “hard-working” American means that you should just click away into being wealthy. All other ways of earning a living like the blue-collar jobs that make any society run, exist, and maintained are frowned-upon. Sorry folks that’s exactly who sustains Mexico and in many ways the U.S. through undocumented immigration. That’s what makes Mexico beautiful and humbling - it’s hard working people - not being afraid to get down and dirty. That’s also what made America great at one point too. That’s what made the American Dream - us little folks. That was the American Dream, that if you worked hard enough this country would reward the sweat of your brow.
Californians just want to have their cake and eat it too. Sorry to break it to you you gotta make and bake the cake too.
There’s NO free lunch.
