I did not say “merely” fruit-growing trees but listed several reasons.

Indeed! You did list several reasons:

Or ... the migration may start going the other way. There are lots of low-maintenance fruit trees in Central America. They still use a lot of oxen teams for plowing. They use lots of natural fertilizers. The large corn fields and cane fields get plenty of petro-based fertilizers but the first year without those will lower the yield but the harvest would still be substantial. They already ignore the protections on such things as sea turtle eggs and more harvesting prohibitions and/or limits would be ignored if things got tough.

I'm sorry, but as interesting as these details are, I still don't think that they in any way justify a sanguine attitude about significant numbers of spoiled, pampered, consumer-oriented Generation-Z Americans fleeing to Central America.

The image of a young, entitled, latte-drinking pyjama boy driving a team of oxen and ploughing a field evoked laughter in me.

The absurdity!

Maybe you should speak in facts instead of just calling me an “idiot”.

I didn't call you an "idiot" - but I sincerely regret creating the impression that I had.

Regards,

The reverse migration would be among Latinos not Gringos.
