Crespo was also tired of the American tourists and remote workers who had flooded his native Mexico City, driving up rents, displacing locals and altering everything from the city’s nightlife to its culinary scene.
The owner of a popular dance club, Crespo, 39, wanted to call attention to what he saw as a multitude of U.S.-related woes.
So he started charging Americans nearly $300 to enter his bar.
Mexicans and other Latin Americans pay $14. Customers from Canada, China and anywhere else pay $20.
The door policy at Japan nightclub has gone viral, triggering anger and even death threats, while also earning Crespo widespread praise.
The controversy spotlights mounting geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Mexico as well as growing backlash against what some see as an invasion of Americans and other foreigners in Mexico City.
A July 4 protest last year against “American imperialism” drew hundreds of marchers, some of whom turned to vandalism, smashing windows of more than a dozen storefronts, including a bank and a Starbucks. Some chanted, “Gringo go home,” in English and scrawled “Kill a gringo” graffiti on walls.
The march echoed demonstrations against...

It’s his business his rules.
If we go home, we’re taking our money with us. Do you really want that, Mexico?

So they’re upset with liberals fleeing Trump. The irony is strong.
Block the folks with the money. Probably learnt that in coledge.
LOL! He can charge whatever he wants it’s his business. But…. WGAS?!
Yes, the positive is I saved $300. How much is that in Pesos?
Chy-Nah isn’t the Colonial Power overtaking Meh-He-Co?
I’m sure the globalists will be quick to criticize him. Where’s the oh so precious DIVERSITY?????
That is exactly correct. Most of these gringos are flaming liberals.
A country that has been making bad choices since Pizzaro and a bunch of other Spanish conquistadores crushed them. You should be seeking the closest of relations with the U.S. of A.
I’m outraged (brrp).
Speaking of flaming liberals:

I am wondering, how many gringos are going to pay that money.
My guess is = 0 !
Cortes…. Pizarro dealt with the Incas. But basically the same deal… We should have just annexed Mexico after the war in 1850. Mexico would certainly be a lot better off.
Of course that would mean no celebration of Cinco de Mayo as the French would have never been there trying to set up a puppet state.
Though I'll bet there are some Lefties who went down there to get away from Bad Orange Man who are quite offended! You can almost hear them screaming at the top of their lungs:
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US? WHY ARE YOU TREATING US THIS WAY? WE SUPPORT YOU-WE'RE ON YOUR SIDE! WHY? WHYYYYYYY?"
It is what Leftists yell, stammer, or cry weepingly when their masters turn on them because they are either done with them, suspicious of them, or feel threatened by them. And they cry out because they thought they would be right there in The Party with the rest of them.
They never stopped to understand that everyone cannot be in The Party.
Mexicans in America: cultural enrichment.
Americans in Mexico: imperialist intrusion.
Do you have to get a blood test or is it based on your ID?
President Polk wanted to take all of Baja California and Mexico down to the Yucatan Peninsula outright no one would or really even could have stopped us. We should have, resources, agricultural lands too. There would be no cartels. Ask Gemini or Grok to show your the map of what Polk wanted it takes 10 seconds of effort.
