I didn't know that.
It's all America's fault. How shall we ever make amends.

We are here in Mexico on extended business for eight months now.
Yes, people lug liters of Coke home; but there are cheaper drinks to be had; aqua frescas are made with blended real fruit. It’s a choice. Food is cheap and plentiful in Mexico. No one looks like they are starving.
The stupid expats here in Lake Chapala had anti-Trump march last month, through the streets with effigies and disgusting signs.
The other week, we were at a party with a mix of expats and Mexican locals. One of the locals who makes his money off the expats told me and my husband, that he “hates Americans.” Then he qualified that: “Only Republicans, everyone else can stay.”
Then, they were passing around an iphone with a picture of our president fellating a rainbow colored dildo. Everyone was laughing.
So many Mexicans we meet can speak English because lived in the US for a while. They are bringing up the quality of service and professionalism in the work they do.
Just my little two cents...
