Mexico City residents aren’t happy with Americans that have moved to their city and made things more expensive, demanding they leave, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.

A growing number of Americans from areas like Silicon Valley and Brooklyn, New York, have flocked to the city, taking advantage of its beauty and cheap rent, according to the LA Times. The issue is expected to worsen with rising inflation as more Americans look for affordable alternatives. (RELATED: Mexico Nabs Infamous Drug Lord Wanted For Decades For Killing DEA Agent)

“We’re the only brown people. We’re the only people speaking Spanish except the waiters,” writer and university professor Fernando Bustos Gorozpe, 28, said, according to the LA Times.

“We’re just seeing Americans flooding in. It’s people who maybe have their own business, or maybe they’re thinking of starting some consulting or freelance work. They don’t even know how long they’re going to stay. They’re completely picking up their entire lives and just moving down here,” The head of Welcome Home Mexico, an organization that helps with relocation, Alexandra Demou said, adding that she gets 50 calls a week from people considering making the move, the LA Times reported.

A local business owner who moved to Mexico City, Dan Defossey, recognized that “Mexico is not cheap for Mexicans.”

“Americans can come here, and they can afford everything and live like kings and queens,” Defossey told the LA Times.

There are 1,600,000 U.S. citizens living in Mexico, a leading destination for U.S. travelers going abroad, according to the State Department. Americans are permitted to stay in Mexico for up to six months, according to the Mexican government.

“I came for a new set of possibilities for how I experience my life and what I get to create in it. I feel like this city has everything I need to build a life of creativity, connection, adventure and stability,” Sarah Lupton, 35, who’s from North Carolina said, according to the LA Times.

A local group recently hosted a “places we have lost to gentrification, touristification and forced displacement” walking tour of Mexico City, according to the LA Times.

“Our homes now house digital nomads,” a flier for the event read, according to the LA Times.

Posters reading “New to the city? Working remotely? You’re a f—ing plague and the locals f—ing hate you. Leave.” were also recently posted around the city, the LA Times reported. Read the rest here.

Mr. Travis,

While I can well understand Georgia sheriff’s wanting to avoid complicating their lives, they do have a duty to protect their citizens. It seems to me the best way to deal with criminal aliens is to remove them from America, once they have paid their debt to our society. This duty begins with the booking process at our county jails. This is the first opportunity to identify who are foreign nationals.

Under existing Georgia law OC GA 42-4-14 Sheriff’s are required to seek out the immigration status of those they book. Certainly the federal government (ICE) would assist in this determination. Of course the contact with ICE begins with the sheriff.

My understanding is that some, if not many of our Georgia sheriff’s are ignoring this law, thus accommodating deportable criminal aliens.

I would think the American media/press would be investigating this lack of concern by our elected law enforcement officials. Americans should be afforded all legal protections.

Sure Randy thanks for the response.

You might try taking a look at : NCFIRE.info

After you take a look ask yourself if this crime problem with illegals is isolated to just North Carolina. Might also inquire about how NCFIRE can assemble this information, and we can’t. Heck the sheriff should be publishing their own list!

Don’t we want to rid our state of these people?

Hi Bob,

Sheriffs are pretty powerful people in our state. Some clearly think it makes their communities safer to ignore this law rather than enforce it. If someone can convince a judge to order them to follow the law, we’ll do that story.

However, without current examples of harm caused against their citizens by this lack of action, it’s difficult for me to justify a story.

I’ve asked for recent examples from critics of the Gwinnett sheriff and received none.

Thanks,

Randy

It’s not that clear cut, at least not in the area I’m covering.

The sheriff here in Gwinnett tells me he’s making the community safer because the immigrant community — illegal or not — now feels more comfortable providing evidence about gangs, drug dealing, etc.

He has made a bunch of arrests in that arena. They’re not all here illegally.

There were predictions after he took over that people here would die because of that decision to ignore the reporting law. I’ve been keeping my ears open for that type of consequence but haven’t heard anything.

So it’s hard to say who’s right.

Thanks,

Randy

The Governor is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in Georgia

July 28, 2022 By D.A. King

Governor’s Office

The governor is the chief executive of the state and oversees the executive branch. He or she is the chief law enforcement officer and the commander-in-chief of the state’s military forces.

The governor shall “take care that the laws are faithfully executed and shall be the conservator of the peace” in the state. This power to enforce laws is almost identical to that of the president of the United States. He or she has the power to veto legislation, although the Georgia General Assembly can override the governor’s veto with a two-thirds majority in each chamber.
