Wondering about safety in Mexico once Trump becomes Prez

[Cabo_Paul]

Thoughts?

I am a white person living in Mexico and I am offended by a previous post spewing American hostility towards Mexico. My friends and neighbors here are wondering whats going on up there, there is no hate, just curiosity....

I have a hard time believing this thread was started with good intentions.
Looks instead to be trying to stir up responses that are political, which really should be off limits on this forum.

Does anyone really believe that the Mexican people would be hostile to them because of a presidential election? Do you think that they would know which candidate you voted for? As many have said, be nice and they will be nice to you. I'd be more concerned about travelling to Chicago and getting shot in crossfire.

And I expect this thread to be shut down. In fact, I would prefer it to be, as you can see that the responses are starting to get political.

I wouldn't go unless I had to. If I was a Mexican citizen, I would have very little to be happy about right now. Trump has shown our country nothing but contempt and disrespect. BTW, parts of Mexico (just like every other country, including ours )are wonderful. Most of the people, like everywhere, are terrific.

Excuse me but I think the President of Mexico has shown nothing but hate, contempt and disrespect for his own people. Allowing the human trafficking of his own people, the gangs and drugs pouring over our border. We are a Nation of Laws...get in line and come here legally. We give them billions of our money and they have done nothing to stop this invasion of OUR country.

And by the way...most of the people in the USA, like everywhere, are terrific and compassionate but we are not the dumping ground or ATM machine for the World anymore. We have been extorted, used and abused for far too long by Mexico. 20 trillion in debt!

USA citizens have very little to be happy about the thousands pouring across our borders daily. All facilitated by the Mexican government.

Just make sure you know where the holes in the wall are so you can get back to the US! 😉

One has every right to have a reasonable expectation, specially if it's based on reason.

Wanna be sure to end any conversation or question amiably? Doesn't matter what you think or believe, when asked or the subject comes up I raise my head, and squeeze my nose. This brings laughter, and the end of it all. Who cares what you really think down here? The object is to enjoy a vacation not to engage in a debate. Be smart and make friends not adversaries. The Trump issue is minor potatoes anyway. By being here, spending money, offering tips and celebrating Mexican culture you are the best ambassador Mexico or the USA could ever hope for. Come and enjoy! Don't microanalyze insignificant trivialities.

Well said MEXICOWANDERER! :C

I guess I'm just stupid. What would who won the US President have to do with Mexico? They have their own President, their own laws, and immigration system. Nothing the new President does should affect the people inside another country.

Other than maybe to help keep them safe.

Don't go if you're concerned. Should get better here, which is what our president should be concerned with.

I guess I dont understand the question. I haven't rv'd in Mexico but cant understand how Mexican people would now be dangerous to visitors when an American president now expects people to enter the USA legally. Seems strange since I have American friends with Mexican heritage who also want people to enter the USA legally .....LIKE THEY DID.

No, I cant believe the the decent people of Mexico are going to harm anyone, because they haven't harmed anyone yet. The same people who would have harmed you in Mexico or the USA will still harm you in either place.

This tread won't last.
But, anyone who thinks that anything will really change is .....well, good luck.
