Americans migrating to Mexico and they aren’t happy about it.
transcript for you anti tokers:
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
These protesters in Mexico City
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
say cross border migration
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
is changing their country's capital for the worse.
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
Over the last decade, an influx of mostly American
00:00:13 --> 00:00:18
so called digital nomads have moved here to work remotely
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
and also enjoy a cheaper cost of living.
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
Protesters say the newcomers have driven up rents
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
beyond the reach of locals.
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
If they're going to live in a country,
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
they have to contribute to that country.
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
The first and simplest issue is legal migration.
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
They come here with visas or no visas
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
and still the change in purchasing power
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
generates these problems of gentrification and displacement.
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
I'm here
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
because gentrification is just one more step towards colonization,
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
dispossession and the exploitation of our resources.
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
Right now, it's about the people.
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
But it won't be long before they run out of oil,
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
water or lithium in other countries and come and take them from us.
