A March article published by France24 highlights how Mexico is quickly becoming a safe haven for U.S. citizens planning to relocate. Indeed, an influx of Americans moving to the Land of the Aztecs has been recorded as a reaction to President Donald Trump’s anti-woke and anti-migrant policies, which many say have made life unbearable. According to a 2023 report from the Association of Americans Resident Overseas, 15% of U.S. expats have landed in Mexico for multiple reasons, from the open-minded approach to the queer community to tax advantages.
Among positive testimonials are:
Oscar Gomez (55), a business consultant, who expressed struggles to decide whether to leave the U.S. Trump’s election was the final straw, as he strongly disagrees with his anti-immigration policies which symbolises a threat to America’s cultural diversity.
Tiffany Nicole (45), a tax consultant, who left Chicago after the George Floyd phenomenon and expressed anxiety about her safety as a Black woman in the country.
Lee Jimenez (38), a latino yoga instructor, left New York after multiple aggressions, making him accuse Trump of unfairly cancelling policies for the queer community.
Jessica James (40), born in San Diego, expresses no regret about leaving her country. Indeed, she believes Trump’s leadership will bring countless tensions.
