Why Californians Are Fleeing To Mexico












Is this a bad thing?
After screwing up California and other states take money to Mexico
How the tables have turned
California's people are fleeing to Mexico because the Mexicans are fleeing to California.
Not enough of them, apparently.
Always knew they'd be going the other way. I wonder if they are allowed that direction.
See y’all we don’t need you here
These american "settlers" stole land from mexico with their imperial govt. The hypocricy is awesome. Mexico should be discussing claiming back what was stolen before the yanks start nicking more. Settle the land claim it fight for it and your govt backs you up.russia does it in ukraine, everyone condemns it, us did it, no problem. Come on mexico, lookat the sahel , at least make the us twitch abit.
You dont need health tourists or retirees, you need investment, be very very careful with these people, they have only their own interests in mind, its still exploitation😊
Send them home!
😮me to me to
Beautiful country will now become an expensive 💩 🕳️ done by the extremist liberals
California law makers sucks…. Don’t blame them
Wow. Mexico can be very luxurious. Someone should tell Robin Leach about this.
Thanks for your visit. Now go back
I was one those people that left Cali – made double $$ what I was making in San diego — best move I ever made and I can go back and forth to the US whenever I want – best of both worlds .
Because no other states wants them
You mean they were leaving BEFORE Trump …during ….Biden and Harris??? You know…the same Harris who wants to run for CA governor…. Hahahahahaha
Eventually they'll return to communist california once the money runs out. LOL
Remember when Americans moved to Mexico-owned Texas and then voted for it to join the U.S.
Sounds like Baja might be SoCal one day.
How about let’s close the border to all Mexicans coming north, and American’s going south. I’m behind that.!
