American ex-pats have money. People who sneak into the US want to make more money.

For peoole of even low middle means, Mexico is paradise.

What gets you a hovel in L.A. gets you a palace with servants at the beach in Mexico.

Most of the country speaks some English. And the language of money is very clear indeed.

I have watched several of their videos. They are about living the ex-pat life in Mexico. They do show both the good side and the bad sides of day-to-day life there. They make a a point of avoiding any contact with cartel kind of people and activities. They obviously enjoy living there since they are free to return to the U.S. whenever they want. Much of Mexico is pretty livable, especially if you have money.

That said, I do not believe they are in Mexico illegally or extralegally. Mexico frowns on that and will deport you for overstaying or misbehaving. If we were to adopt Mexican immigration laws it would be denounced as draconian.

The LeBaron and Langford families say it has some other challenges. (Such as all the women and children in your family getting murdered in a cartel ambush)

If you’ve already made your money, or you have a wage that isn’t tied to a specific place, you can go to Mexico (or pick a place) where the living is more economical, where your tax bite is less, and make your money go further. But keep in mind, this is for someone who has already made their money or created their business. In a case like this, life in Puerto Vallarta may be just what the doctor ordered.

Its not the place to be if you have nothing and no prospects. For someone starting from scratch, the US or Canada is the place to be. Starting from nothing in Mexico or parts south, you have no chance of ever making it. For him it makes complete sense to go north, and get that sweet job at the meat-packing plant. He is in a completely different situation from the American who is trying to make his social security go further.
