Mexico has become a Middle Class Country and their Growth is Outpacing the USA!!!

[TNHarley]

Thats because all of the criminals and losers are here illegally. All thats left are law-abiding, contributing members of society.

That's a highly ignorant comment! There are many hispanic criminals in the States, but the cartels area plague in Mexico. A plague that threatens how far the country has come!

I know. I was just being sarcastic. Completely disregarded the cartels lol

 

[TNHarley]

And, with the economy here in the USA going into the tank, more and more Americans are moving south of the border. [I myself am going to be house-hunting there next year]

My parents about a sweet 3 bedroom 2 full bath condo that is literally right on the beach for $300K in Mexico. They spend half the year down there. Property taxes are a wooping $150 a year. I bought my place for $310K (worth closer to $200K now) and I pay $6.8K in taxes a year!

They total me more and more Americans are retiring to Mexico. Everything from food, to taxes, to medical care, dental care etc is so dirt cheap you live like kings! Also most Mexicans in Gringo populated areas speak English!

I always heard, in Mexico, that if you were not a natural born citizen, you couldn't buy property. Keyword is heard

That's changed.

I know a couple who'd sold a vineyard, in Colorado, and moved to the western-coast o' Mexico; directly West o' the Yucatan.​

 

[BlindBoo]

ROTF.

The Mexican economy is about 8% of the US economy. Yeah great place. Except where it's not.

Good for Mexico

A prosperous Mexico is good for the US

True and I mentioned that above, but it is kind of sad they are outpacing us in growth and unemployment!

Growth?

They are growing from next to nothing. It is not hard to have a high growth rate when you start so low.

I am not worrying about them challenging the US economy anytime soon

To me, the most important thing is a rising Mexican middle class which will reverse the US immigration problem. If only the US would pay attention to it's own middle class

TRUE!

You may buy a home - but not the property iy sits on.

 

[Rozman]

Interesting, if that were true than please explain why they keep hopping the boarder.

Did you read that immigration from Mexico is at a negative now! Meaning more Mexicans are leaving than are coming!

Even the Mexicans realize this country is too fucked up for them even...
They are saying this place (America) is BS I'm outta here....

No, you can't completely own property (meaning the Mexican government can confiscate the property if they believe you are a wrong-doer, but then again they could do that to Mexican citizens also), but my parents do have title to the property. What Mexico doesn't allow is a person to take a loan or mortgage on their property, meaning you have to pay cash and you can't take HELOC to do home improvements.

You also don't beed to be a naturally born citizen, you just need to be a citizen to take a loan on a property. However, obtaining Mexican citizenship is as hard as it comes!

 

[Mad Scientist]

About time they got off their asses. Good for them.

they come here with your blessing, steal your jobs, work for money under the table avoid paying taxes and send the wealth back to Mexico.. Yep,, good damn job.

You gotta' add NAFTA to that.

They've exported their poverty class to the U.S.

You're surpised?

 

[GHook93]

Why are illegals from Mexico going home and few are coming here? Economic progress!!!

What the U.S. can learn from Mexico – Global Public Square - CNN.com Blogs
Consider the facts: Mexico’s GDP is expected to grow by nearly 4 percent this year, twice as fast as Brazil or, for that matter, the United States. It is riding a manufacturing boom. Mexico is now the world’s fourth biggest producer of cars, according to the World Trade Atlas. Starting next year, new taxis in New York City will carry a “made in Mexico' label.” Mexico is also the world's top exporter of flat screen TVs. In fact, Mexico exports more manufactured products than all the other countries in Latin America combined.

More from GPS: Misconceptions about Mexico

Three main factors are in play: For one, geography. Sharing a border with the United States means heavy products are cheaper to transport across than if they were manufactured in, say, Asia.

A second factor is NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement. Mexican products are subject to lower duties than those from other countries. In fact, The Economist points out that Mexico has trade deals with 44 countries, the most of any nation in the world.

The third factor is wages. As other manufacturing hubs become more expensive, Mexico has become more competitive. According to HSBC, in 2000 Mexican workers earned nearly five times the salary of their Chinese peers. But, by 2011, Mexican workers were only about a third more expensive than Chinese workers.

When you project all these advantages into the next few years, Mexico’s economic future looks robust. The National Intelligence Council released an important report called Global Trends 2030. One of the trends it looks at is how demographic changes will shape the world. Countries with younger, more dynamic populations will grow faster.

While the median age in Mexico will be 34 in 2030, the median Chinese or Russian age will be about ten years older. Japan’s median age will hit 52. America actually has an advantage here, at 39 our median age will only be five years older than that of Mexico's. Trends don't ensure particular outcomes, but it's clear that contrary to its global image, Mexico's economy has momentum. It will be among the world's top ten economies by the end of this decade.

Wonder if they'll be cool if we go over there to work then, collect their government checks, etc... Wonder if part of their population will defend our right to do so? Wonder if their goverment will look the other way whie we do so?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Mexico can teach Democrats in CA how to run an economy, Obama too

Why are you such an ignorant SOB! If you are going to make a comment like that then back it UP!!!

Where does Mexico's economy rank in the world
Mexico is the eleventh (11) largest economy in the world (2009), with a GDP of US$1.5 trillion (PPP). On nominal terms, Mexico is the thirteenth to fourteenth (13-14) largest economy with a GDP of US$1.05 trillion.

I am not worrying about them challenging the US economy anytime soon

LOL, you just showed the LEFTIST socialist mentality! As a socialist you believe there is a defined amount of wealth and if one takes a piece they are taking it from another. The real answer is there is no defined pie of wealth. It can shrink without anyone taking a piece and it can GROW WITH MORE, NOT LESS, PEOPLE BECOMING WEALTHY!!!

A growing Mexico is good. If Mexico becomes a 1st world industrialized middle class nation like Chile has become, then that will be good for America, esp since their wages are rising rapidly also!

To me, the most important thing is a rising Mexican middle class which will reverse the US immigration problem. If only the US would pay attention to it's own middle class

Mexico's middle class grows because they have abandoned social welfare dependence that the American left is pushing onto America. And it's solving US's ILLEGAL immigration property. Legal immigration isn't a problem!

Not true! That poverty class is actually going back to Mexico!

 

[nodoginnafight]

I agree - a strong prosperous Mexico is good for the U.S.
(it's odd for people who SAY they favor self-reliance to carp and whine when others become more self-reliant)
btw - The study period is from 2005 to 2010???

I know your talking tongue and cheek, but they are extremely bad to their illegals from South of their border! Being an illegal in Mexico is a rob, rape and death sentence!

However, once you allow enough of your citizens to be more loyal to another country, and have a party placating that voting bloc, you will have that illegal protection we get here in the states, much the same way the leftist segment in France protects the far more dangerous to society illegal muslim population!

They need a place close by to sell their drugs. Thats what they do best.
