Mexico City (AFP) – US President Donald Trump’s anti-woke and anti-migrant policies have convinced hordes of Americans to either move to, or stay put in, neighbouring Mexico.
Americans have long been lured to Mexico by its weather, culture and lower cost of living. Now some of the US citizens heading south of the border say they have another reason: President Donald Trump.
Discrimination, the erosion of civil rights, government cutbacks, polarising rhetoric and Trump's war on "woke" are among the motivations these new expats give for not wanting to live in the United States.
Four Americans told AFP about why they feel more comfortable living in Mexico today.
Oscar Gomez, a 55-year-old business consultant, was already considering leaving the United States, but said Trump's victory was a "tipping point".
After several years living in Mexico City, Tiffany Nicole was considering returning to Chicago to reunite with her family there, but Trump's victory made her rethink her plan.
"Being Afro-Latino, being Dominican, being gay means attacks from all parts," said Lee Jimenez, a 38-year-old yoga instructor from New York.
Jessica James, aka “JJ”, said that Trump's presidency had extinguished any desire to live in the United States.

Winning!
Nothing will disabuse them of diversity faster than actually living in a third world country.
Four disgruntled people = “hordes.” OK.
Nobody tell ‘em by leaving they’re doing the rest of us a favor
Hordes!, lol. “Four Americans spoke to AFP…”
Bye!
Well, bye.
All 4 of you...
“Being Afro-Latino, being Dominican, being gay means attacks from all parts,” said Lee Jimenez, a 38-year-old yoga instructor from New York.”
I’m not even sure where to begin with that one. SMH
Unless you have $$. Living in Mexico with money can be quite enjoyable. Ani it would seem these people already speak the language.
There is no “discrimination” nor have any civil rights been eroded. As for polarising rhetoric, its nowhere near as bad as under the Biden regime when for example, he called his political opponents “semi fascists”.
These are just butthurt Leftist sore losers still bitter that their side lost. Good riddance. I hope they never return.
China is the same way. The difference is that Mexico is dangerous and China, for all its faults is a safe country.
Good riddance.
And what stinking victim mentality. Likely any negative interactions she has are a results of her unhinged and obnoxious behavior and her tendency to label the slightest disagreement on anything as an *attack* because.... *racism*, *sexism*, and *transphobia* or *homophobia*.
Yet another great start to my day!
Some apparently are living there currently, and with the illegal invaders here, we are becoming third world country. Let them stay there, as we push these illegal invaders back to whence they came.
Excellent.

Bye bye, expat rats! Please STAY gone.
“…polarising rhetoric…”
Something only republicans are capable of.
It is a good start.
Adios pendejos!
Hordes equal 4?
We need a lot more to leave, enjoy the weather and the cartels😂
