They literally consider Central Americans a lower form of life
And the feeling is entirely mutual. Central (and South) Americans look down on Mexicans and vice versa.
At least the Mexicans take action!!
We type :)
Of course kidnapping and torturing an illegal would result in our being in prison for life.
I’ll pass on that.
It’s not limited to Mexico.
In general, Latinos and Hispanics are very familial and territorial. County sized states do not get along with one another and feud between the criminals and feud between the govt officials.
Big news in Mexico last week was 4 policia cars and 2 motorcycles pursuing criminals into an adjacent jurisdiction, whnre the adjacent police force ambushed the cops. Left three cop cars burning and a motorcycle burning, with the occupants dragging one antoerh out and limping back to their own turf.
Same thing with the Central Americans. Hondurans aren’t really buddies with Guatamalans, nor other Central Americans.
In Mexico, they all recognize this common trait and know somebody is orchestrating the caravans, because they are not naturally forming.
BTW, many of the caravans arriving in Tijuana, are coming up the coast from Baja. meaning they somehow are getting across the Sea of Cortez. They might be getting shipped in by the cruise liners into Ensenada or further south.
Most Mexicans are real ‘Hispanics’ their ancestors were Spanish...people from the Central American countries are descended from Indians...Aztecs, Mayans and other tribes...
The CA are not Hispanic although people call them that erroneously...
Therefore the Mexicans consider themselves above the CA crowd...the Mexicans are usually more educated, etc..and have cleaner habits etc...are more Westernized than the lowly CA...the Mexicans speak a more pure form of Spanish and read and write it and usually speak some English...
While the Mexicans often don’t have much trouble transitioning to life in the US, the CA bring their dirty habits and diseases and not knowing what a toilet is will just pee out in the yard...theres been complaints of migrant men peeing in a school yard while children were there...
If the Mexicans consider the CA lower than dirt...
Yes, they do. And the northern Mexicans consider southern Mexicans a lower form of life too, and vice versa.
