Nan Palmero was at a rehearsal dinner in Mexico City’s trendy Roma Norte neighborhood, ahead of a wedding of two American friends, when he heard a “rumbling” outside.
From the restaurant’s second story, Palmero described seeing a large group of people moving through the streets, some holding placards, shouting “Gringos leave.”
He later learned that demonstrators smashed restaurant windows and damaged vehicles, including the new car of his friends’ wedding planner — a local resident — he said.
“They wrecked her car, they smashed a window, they ripped off a mirror, they spray-painted the side of it. It was really pretty nasty,” he said.
Palmero, an avid traveler from San Antonio, Texas, said he had heard that an influx of digital nomads and foreign tourists had pushed up prices in some of the city’s most popular neighborhoods.

"[Verse 6] Well, we barely made the airport For the last plane out As we taxied down the runway I could hear the people shout They said, "Don't come back here, Yankee" But if I ever do I'll bring more money 'Cause all she wants to do is dance"

Nicely done!
> “Gringos leave.” <
Actually pretty good advice.
There was some big protest against tourism in a town in Spain. So tourists decided they didn’t want to go to such an unfriendly place.
Then a lot of hotel and restaurant workers lost their jobs.
Oops.
Mexicans are unhappy that their gravy train - remittances - are being cut off by Trump.
Remittances to Mexico Continue to Decline
"The amount of money Mexico received in remittances fell 16.2% annually in June, the largest year-over-year decline for any month in more than a decade...The Bank of Mexico (Banxico) reported on Friday [August 1st] that income from remittances totaled US $5.201 billion in June, down from $6.207 billion in the same month of 2024."
Good. Keep the $$ here - should be used to pay for all the illegals' health care and education.
Are they admitting that now they understand how we feel in the USA about all of the immigrants?
“...shouting “Gringos leave.”...”
non problemo....very good advice.!
You stay on your sideof the border, and I’ll stay on mine.
The irony of this is interesting
May I suggest that they build a wall?
They feel the same way in Europe. Effem all.
Never visit Mexico! Sounds like a good plan to me.
Sounds kinda racist.
Can their government do some research, doxxing, and then forcing social media to ban them?
You know, like they do in Gringo-land and the UK.
I would not go to Mexico under any circumstances today.
> May I suggest that they build a wall? <
Robert Frost and I both agree with you.

I know people who go to Cancun every year and every year, the safe space gets smaller.
Outstanding! The Jedi mind trick is working.
“The amount of money Mexico received in remittances fell 16.2% annually in June, the largest year-over-year decline for any month in more than a decade...The Bank of Mexico (Banxico) reported on Friday.”
All these “remittances” should be taxed at 50%.
No exceptions.

I wonder how much of the anger is from Mexican guys upset at wealthy tourists making acquaintances with the local girls?
The Macho Nachos are not our friends. They only want our money so their country won’t go all the way into the sewer.
