The Los Angeles Times report on Wednesday outlined how some Mexican locals are "fed up" with the growing number of Americans, many from California, moving to and visiting the country, which has contributed to a rise in rent and a shift from Spanish to English in some places.

So they can send hundreds of thousands across the border and we have to pay for their kids education, health care, food and rent and they're upset because we come there and speak English? Really?

[unixfox]

The sentiment is mutual.

[Eagles6]

Yes, the irony is deep and heavy.

<< So they can send hundreds of thousands across the border >>

If only it were that few..

[HighSierra5]

Wait till they take a dump on the sidewalk.

For a minute I thought this was the Babylon Bee

[airborne]

Ha ha!

Not the Bee!!!

[airborne]

Beat me by 3 seconds!

[READINABLUESTATE]

I thought this was a Babylon Bee head line...LOL!

[shotgun]

That’s where I would go...NOT!

Corruption, crime, and sitting on an know Earthquake fault that goes off more than anything in SoCal.

“... because we come there and speak English?”

And pay our own way, and improve the neighborhood (”gentrify”).

Posted it before: the country with the MOST American expatriates is Mexico. Sammy Hagar stated it many times that there are more gringos’ in his Mexico neighborhood than in L.A. where the white man is the minority.

They kinda have a point, but they are not Americans they are Californians

[dsrtsage]

The good part of gentrification. Clean streets, reduced crime, improved infrastructure, less graffiti and vandalism, better schools. The bad part, over priced restaurants that serve kale and PBR to pretentious insufferable psuedo intellectual hipsters with man buns

[Tenacious 1]

Who the hell is moving from the US to Mexico City or even vacationing there? If you have ever even had a connection in the Mexico City Airport, you know that place is a mess.

[Tzimisce]

They’re mad that they’re losing their culture and resentful that English is becoming common eh?

Well that sounds kind of racist......

[Wilderness Conservative]

The irony is so funny here that I first thought this came from The Bee.

[Vendome]

[DallasBiff]

There is thread running now on FR, about cats being an invasive species.

The true invasive species are Californians.

How much welfare do US citizens get in that s hole? How many of their kids go to the public schools and force Mexican teachers to teach them in English? How many get free medical care, housing vouchers, food stamps, AND vote? How many Mexican political parties fight for the entitlements paid for by Mexican taxpayers? How much drugs are these gringos smuggling in to Mexico City? How many gangsters terrorizing Mexicans?
