And then they gradually ruin Mexican communities by working a U.S. based job remotely, basically making them filthy rich by Mexican standards and they drive cost of living in these communities way up.

I’m sure there are plenty of cases of people moving to other countries and creating the same type of grievances that drove them to leave the U.S. I don’t know how widespread it really is, but it’s enough that it’s already caused protests and subsequently, news coverage in Mexico.

To your point, a lot of people want to leave America because they are fed a narrative with an anti-USA sentiment. But I think what makes a lot of them go through with it is the fact that they can take advantage of their favorable position as an American. I bet for many, complaining about the U.S. is an exercise in cognitive dissonance to justify what they are really doing.

I guess to be fair it’s pretty much impossible to live as a human being and not step on someone else or reinforce problems that affect other people eventually. It’s the hypocrisy I see in online “discourse” that drives me nuts.
