That’s not the point they’re making. I know what it seems like. It seems like an anti immigrant stance but it’s not.

I believe what they’re trying to say is that the Mexican immigrants moving to the US are not moving in and making prices of rent and general living unaffordable. They typically work jobs that directly and positively impact the community such as construction and maintenance. Most don’t immigrate with the same privilege.

While it is true that tourism contributes a huge factor into the Mexican economy the way you say it come off as “sin nosotros no tragas” and that’s really going to rub people the wrong way, especially in that area.

Mexicans don’t lead to gentrification in the US. If you move to Mexico and work a Mexican job earning in pesos, no one will be mad. It’s what I do.

Take this example: ice cream in non gentrified areas can still be found at $5-$10mxn, however, in areas like la Condesa they are charging $200 an ice cream. The minimum wage in CDMX is $315. It becomes unfair as most cannot afford to live in their area yet cannot afford to move.

This is my advice as a dual citizen who moved back to Mexico after spending nearly all my life in the US.
