Oh, absolutely! If we had something like the EU (as Ted Cruz’s wife wanted) you’d see people going down to Mexican resorts to get drunk on a regular basis - especially if the flights cost 50 bucks a pop. I guess that’s the bone the politicians throw to ordinary people in exchange for their freedom.
Literal Bread and Circuses.

Because Mexico is Dirt Poor and a Crime Ridden Hell-Hole. So much so their own people don't want to live there.
"But, The Resort was so nice, I never had to open a door once the whole time I was there"

Greece is broker than broke and the Pound, I am sure, goes a Long way there.
