The first thing a Texan does coming back from a lengthy trip is to get a Mexican food fix.
Looking to relocate. But to where?

Actually it’s one of those great words I wish we had in English that convey a level of idiocy and jackassery both at the same time. Of course I learned my colloquial Spanish working in the fields as a high schooler so perhaps I'm not as refined a speaker as some.
This is a thread to discuss the pluses and minuses of living in various parts of the world. I’m truly mystified at what you’re point is about the Latins (the term is latinos, not latins, btw. My mistake if that was a spelling error and not my grandmother who indeed calls anyone from south of the border a "latin", and anyone from asia an "oriental" and anyone black a "negro" as some kind of passive aggressive racism she refuses to stop) running to the U.S. and your apparent mystification that U.S. policy and the rhetoric of the current administration would engender less than friendly feelings from Mexicans living in Mexico toward Americans who immigrated to Mexico. If you’ve even visited anywhere in Latin America post Trump it’s clear that there’s a high level of resentment toward the painting of the vast majority of Mexicans and Latinos in general as bad people by what appears to be nearly a majority of Americans. You’ll hear about that as an American in Mexico. Of course you’d have heard resentment from Columbians about Panama for the last 100 years and general mistrust from like U.S. escapades in most places, but it’s a lot more personal and recent now so you’ll see and hear it a lot more. Perhaps I just completely misunderstood your posts, as I said your point is elusive?

Please do PM me when you have time. I would like to know more. Thanks.
in weekend, too busy now.
Like I said US policy has NEVER been popular in Mexico but yet they run to the US anyway they can get here..Mexico..CA..SA...Why oh why if US IS SUCH detestable, bigoted, racist, place?
PS I love mexican food. Do you? I have more hispanic friends than white friends. Do you? Are you a LATINO? What about LADINO? MESTIZO? Wanna define those for us. Make sure you spell them right..PC you know.....
I don't just visit Latin America. I have a residence there. LOL.
I've never seen a white negro. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being oriental, black, white, negro, indian....injun ( to some people). We are what we are and we should just be glad to be human and some some dog on a street corner.
Race has nothing to do with Latinos (or latins for your grandmother) running to the US. Neither does race have anything to do with enforcing the border. I promise you if Mexico had 2000 gringos (yes gringos latinos love to use that word btw lol) a day entering their country illegally they would most certainly put a stop to it. It has to do with borders and respecting a countries laws. I didn't go to Honduras illegal. I didn't go or live in Mexico illegal. Nor did I slip into Guatemala illegally at night. I never rode as a stowaway on a ship to Panama. It just happens that the US has a long border with Latin America and they show little respect for our borders or our laws. Canada also has a large border with the USA but we don't seem to have that problem up there, now do we?
People from a progressive political viewpoint (read liberal) seem to always want to make things racist. Stir the pot up.....etc.
Anyway, you will find Europe to not care for gringos either. At least Latinos are more polite. Yes, we are the ugly Americans, at times. But i suspect we have done a few good things in the world.........
Merry Christmas
Bye bye

And the true colors come out.
I'll let the thread continue to provide value without this side conversation. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts living in Latin America based on your actual experience living in Latin America since you appear to have some experience there. That would be far more useful than trolling with your thoughts on illegal migrants to the U.S., which has nothing to do with this discussion.
