huh, had no idea Americans were living in Mexico illegally.


____________________________________________________________
Mexico’s Excélsior reported 91.2% of all Americans who live in Mexico are living there illegally. The figure is based on findings from a 2015 census survey from Mexico’s Institute of Geography and Statistics.

According to Latino Rebels, 739,168 U.S. citizens lived in Mexico during 2015, of which only 65,302 had legal residency. The report explained that this breakdown marked a 37.8% increase in Mexico’s undocumented population of Americans living there.

While Trump’s administration and campaign have been loaded with hateful rhetoric and racist remarks about “immigrants stealing our jobs,” they failed to even mention the reverse statistics. Trump has threatened to carry out massive raids and deport millions that he calls “criminals” and “delinquents” but who are actually just regular people trying to live their lives. Mexico is not targeting or deporting Americans who are living there illegally.

Latino Rebels continues their report:

However, what the Excélsior report did not include or explore is whether or not a percentage of these U.S. citizens living in Mexico are also Mexican citizens and can claim dual citizenship (making a visa irrelevant for them). When Latino Rebels analyzed the actual survey, we saw that it did ask if any of these Americans living in Mexico could claim Mexican nationality, and about 47% said yes, but just because you claim Mexican nationality doesn’t mean you are a Mexican citizen. It is also unclear whether any of these Americans are authorized to reside in Mexico, a point that the Mexican government admits is extremely complex to track, as a 2012 report detailed (see page 12). The State Department says that 1 million U.S. citizens live in Mexico.

And as much as Excélsior reported a 91.2% figure, that percentage could very likely be lower based on the survey Latino Rebels saw, but there it still enough data to conclude that a very significant number of Americans living in Mexico are not there legally.

The Mexican newspaper also wrote that Donald Trump’s administration has already repatriated 11,328 Mexicans since it has taken office, and of those 11,328 individuals, 723 had previous convictions for narcotrafficking, kidnapping, transporting of weapons and other major crimes.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has yet to publish any 2017 removal statistics, but U.S. Customs and Border Protection has released its latest data about border apprehensions (which are not ICE deportations). Here is what Border Patrol said: “U.S. Customs and Border Protection saw a decrease in apprehensions between our ports of entry and a decrease in individuals deemed inadmissible to enter the U.S. at our ports of entry along the Southwest Border in January 2017. Overall total migration remained at elevated levels, primarily due to family units and unaccompanied children from Central America, Haitian nationals migrating from Brazil, and Cuban nationals.”

I wonder how many of the Americans living in Canada are illegals?

It's true.

And the vast majority of American immigrants have committed trafficking or violent crime.

They should just give Americans the death penalty.

Saves money and reinforces the conservative spirit.

I can understand living down there illegally. What's disturbing is that there are Americans who moved to Mexico and wish to legally remain in the country. 8.8%!

Are these people on drugs? Oh, never mind...

Let's start with a President that is on the Kremlin's payroll.

Lethal injection .... or the rest of his lifetime Leavenworth?

Maybe, he'll be able to sneak away when they come for him and he'll end up in the Moscow airport terminal, like Snowden. Do any of the countries with Trump Towers in them not have an extradition treaty with the U.S.?

Maybe he'll come to Canada, where we don't extradite criminals who face execution. Maybe, he'll finish out his life in the penthouse of Trump Tower Vancouver, like Howard Hughes, getting older and weirder.

Mexico doesn't care. It just helps with their economy. BUT... never make the mistake of trying to file for any (if any) benefits while in that country. If you make that mistake you'll have a chance to see what a sentence of prison doing hard labor means.

A very libertarian attitude. You're welcome to our country as long as you support yourself. what an American... er, I mean Mexican value.

If you wish to make a point, you might try saying that it is a common value. It would also help for everyone to cite supporting evidence. Unless you preface it with 'In my opinion", of course.

...um ... they're Americans in Mexico.

To the dolts worshipping the recycled Democrat: According to 'my-shyte-don't-stink-I-can-do-anything-I-want-cuz-I'm-American", is it winning when Americans take the shyte-kicking? - even from Dear Leader?
