Well, I don't agree with the "Kill a Gringo" part but the rest I agree with 100%
I wish the bleeding hearts in our own country would stop being such wusses and demand the same of immigrants coming here.
If you are accepted to live in this country... LEARN English, ACCEPT OUR CULTURE AND ASSIMILATE. Otherwise get the hell out.
If they are expecting our culture and customs and traditions to adjust to "INCLUDE" theirs then they don't need to be here. Deport them.
If you are going to keep dressing like you live where you came from then assimilation isn't your plan. Deport them.
I remember a case where some guy from India was a Sikh. He wore that turban on his head. He was in the U. S. military, maybe the Airforce. There is a dress code of how you have to wear your hair and no beards and such... you know... the MILITARY. He wasn't allowed to wear his turban. He sued and got OUR FUCKING COUNTRY TO CHANGE OUR STANDARDS FOR HIS INDIA SHIT.
If people are coming here expecting us to change our culture and standards to import their foreign customs then they should NEVER BE ALLOWED here in the first place.
Immigration should be in small numbers. They should all be thoroughly vetted. They need to not be dependent on our internal safety programs and welfares for our citizens and they need to want to be Americans and to assimilate.
Otherwise they should be denied or deported.
Why do our citizens put up with this crap?
PS-I never realized lots and lots of people from the US were living there.
I remember that story. I saw something similar on an epidode of "What Would You Do?" and some lady told the producers, "If I practiced a religion that required me to be naked, would I be allowed to go to work naked?" They had no response
This was a coordinated protest but I don’t know by who. Perhaps some of our left over USAID money. Surely this wasn’t grass roots, it was paid and sponsored.
And their points are valid, learn Spanish, use pesos etc. The difference is Americans are bringing in money, not taking it out and using their services for free. The Americans are also documented.
This is just a paid for protest since they can’t do it in LA anymore with the National Guard there.
Yeah, it definitely seems fishy. I think they're using the gentrification issue as a guise, especially since these people are there legally, speak Spanish, use pesos and put money into the economy. They may be angry at being priced out, but the rhetoric 100% seems like just a stab at MAGA. I don't think they're that stupid, at the very least not to realize that they will be seen as hypocrites and not taken seriously The timing and rhetoric is too coinscidental. Also, someone commemted why they don't have the balls to riot against the cartel
It’s funny if white people move out it is characterized as white flight. If they move in it is characterized as gentrification. Both with a negative tone. We can’t win :D.
Actually, they're doing these protests because of the way many MAGA supporters talk about Mexicans and how many Mexicans are being treated here. The hypocrites must be the MAGA supporters who are offended by it.
In my opinion, both sides should just chill the f down a little and not act like everyone from the other side is the worst.
I was thinking the same thing honestly, that they're really just revenge protests. It's still hilareous though. But smashing windows, accosting tourists and spraying "kill a gringo" was crossing the line and won't help their cause.
I agree, they shouldn't hold all Americans accountable. Nor vandalize. Most Americans who live in Mexico don't want to change Mexico anyway I don't think, the ones who live there actually like Mexico.
Yeah, they're just doing it to send a message, but it's backfiring because it makes them look like entitled hypocrites and only reenforces MAGA rhetoric
American tourists should listen to them. If they don't want us spending our money in Mexico we should do it at home.

The coloniser is funny though. I mean Mexicans were colonising Mexico long before the English. Dutch and French showed up in the US. In fact they are the descendants of the first colonisers.
Yeah, I saw a video where a racist Chicano guy DNA tested himself, and had a meltdown after finding out he has Spanish, but no Mexican 😂 Unfortunately, there are many like him here. They're so proud of their Mexicanness, yet can't even find Mexico on a map😂
Most Mexicans don't get that they are European colonists themselves. They aren't aztecs. It comes back to left wing ideology that only white Americans are colonists, owned slaves and are racist.
Yeah, I saw some Mexicans claiming that they're an advanced culture because they built the pyramids. Have you ever seen anyone use the term "ancient Mexicans"?
And actually all the intelligent Aztecs and Mayans were killed off by their own people and only stupid people were left. It's these stupid ones that the handful of their descendents are descended from. The Mayan ball game was played for 3000 years and no one even verbally passed down the rules?
Certainly there was an advanced culture there at one time that did all that but Mexicans are the spainish colonisers descendants of Spain and possibly the muslims of Spain and with a hint of the natives of Mexico as about 90% of them died off in the first 50 years. It's like Elizabeth Warren claiming to be native American.
Do you understand that Mexicans are derived from the natives living there (Mayan, Olmec, Aztec, Zapotec, Mixtec, Toltec, etc) and the Europeans who came to conquer them? The Europeans conquered them, not vice versa. Yes, slavery existed in other countries. And? So did we own slaves--but the original natives did not.
@Amy10223 Okay. Are you aware that 4% of the population in Mexico are black and until very recently, the government refused to agknowledge that they even exist. I also read Oaxaca people like gringoes, because they have Mestizos and Hispanic Mexicans because they opress them. Mexicans have always been racist
@Amy10223 Mexicans are derived from the spainish who colonised Mexico, 90% of the natives died out the rest were either absorbed by the Europeans or remained separate. A good game is whether they can grow facial hair or drink alcohol or milk. Native Americans can't. Also slavery and human sacrifice was rife in the Americas b4 columbus got there. upload.wikimedia.org/.../..._-_530880_restored.jpg
Yeah, pure indigenous only make up 10%. Yeah, they sacrificed humans and enslaved other tribes. Some tribes even formed alliances with the Spanish to take out enemy tribes
But yeah, they practiced human sacrifice, so the Spanish weren't wrong when they called them "savages". They WERE
The funny thing is, all those Leftists who bitch about colonialism don't realize that those Mexicans and Mexican culture they love so much wouldn't exist if it weren't for colonialism. I love how my guidebook describes it, "neither a good or bad thing, but the painful birth of the Mestizo race"
Anyone who knows anything about the border and illegal immigration already knows that Mexicans aren't the problem. The majority of Hispanic illegal immigrants are from Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela, etc.). But there are also a surprisingly high number of Chinese, Indian, African, and middle eastern illegal immigrants coming in from both Mexico and Canada, among others. Mexicans are a surprisingly small minority of illegal immigrants.
Also, Mexican LEGAL immigrants are among those who MOST support a controlled border and limiting immigration.
So, most of these protests are fake - they aren't organic, but rather are being bought and paid for by leftist organizations specifically for the benefit of the media.
Mexico is the problem. Why? We do not share a border with any of those countries. Mexico shares a border with Guatemala and Beliz. Mexico let's hoards of them in. Let's them travel from south to north and they don't do anything about these convoys using their country to get here.
I get what you are saying but Mexico isn't blameless in this.
That part is certainly true, but I can't blame them much when our own government makes it clear that the border is open (as the Biden administration did). Now that Trump has closed our borders, Mexico is now controlling their own southern border.
The US sending such mixed messages (and trust that billions of USAID money was funding illegal immigrants being trained, equipped, and encouraged to come to the US) is easily the bigger part of the program. The fact that US voters allow presidents to NOT follow immigration laws, and even worse, funnel taxpayer money to entities who assist in the violation of our immigration laws is crazy to me.
Yes, Mexico played a role, but it's being disingenuous to say that the US wasn't most of the problem.
Dude, Mexicans were literally laughing at us that, "these stupid Americans are not only letting us flood their country, but are giving us jobs and free stuff"
Incidentally, Mexico has always been pretty resolute about deporting illegals from further south who are trying to stay in Mexico rather than go to the US (something the Mexican government and the cartels that own it are usually happy to facilitate).
No brainiac they are calling the US hypocrites. US citizens are flooding into Mexico, Costa Rico, Honduras buying up prime real restate and taking advantage of the lower cost of living, thereby driving up the cost of housing for native citizens of those countries and forcing them out of prime areas. Expect violence against US expats living down there on the cheap. Basically it's you vilify us, we vilify you.
Yes, Americans are doing it legally in those countries. That doesn't change the resentment of the local population getting forced out by rich gringos. It's just one more insult.
Why is that not expected? It's exactly what we do here, and we do worse. I've known for awhile that the president of Mexico will not put up any BS from Trump, and she is also getting rid of unwanted Americans there. Tit for tat, is what it's called.
"America is for the Americans" sign? Trump has already done that. I have seen a video of a lady (white) trying to push off a lady (immigrant) off "her" street because the lady was selling things ointment a cart. Yes, she said, "Go back to your country. Get off my block. You're making my house property go down". MAGA stands for Make America White Again, in reality.
There must be a lot of Clayton Bigsbies then because he recieved a record number of black votes. In a country of 300,000,000 people, of course there are gonna be people like that woman. But YOU'RE White, so I don't know why it bothers you. Also data and history have shown that predominately White areas fair better. You think it's a coinscidence that Maine has the lowest percentage of non-Whites and also the lowest crime rate.
St. Bart's is the only Caribbean territory with a White majority population and it's the safest and wealthiest island in the Caribbean. I was recently in Guadeloupe, and the contrast between the black and White areas was shocking. Did you know that Candem used to be a safe city until blacks became the majority. Even one black guy said he lived in a White neighborhood and no problems, but as soon as more blacks started moving in, they turned it into a ghetto.
Puerto Ricans may look white, but they are not; their relatives could be from Spain but they are also from Africa, My grandfather was black on my father's side. No, PR does NOT support Trump--not the MAJORITY, not since he allowed that idiot to insult PR at one of his rallies in Madison Square Garden. And Puerto Ricans on the island cannot vote. You are mistaking us for the Cubans in Florida, who are only now realizing what their mistake was in supporting Trump.
