Make Trump Great Again

(Leer este post en Español aquí)

For all the people that believe that a collapse is coming in USA and the world, this is just a proof that this might really happen. Everywhere else but in the USA, people can see and feel what Trump is all about. Yet NorthAmericans (most) view Trump as the only Brave Succesful Citizen speaking with the truth and daring to do what others can’t.

Well, maybe Trump becoming president is the kind of tragedy we need to finally take action and start to do things different. In the case of inmigrant Mexicans, maybe is time to stop seeing the USA as the ultimate dream land of opportunities and start to look at other countries where we are more appreciated and where less rascism prevails. For Latino Bussinessmen, that can be the time to start to trade more with our southern Latin neighbors, with Asia and Europe. A hate-wall in the Rio Bravo might be the straw that broke the camels back so we, Mexicans start to worry more about solving by ourselves our internal problems such as lack of productivity, corruption and violence.

In one way, violence might be reduced as Drug Dealers won’t have the access to the colossal gun market from the USA and won’t have anybody to sell their drugs too.

So, yes, if Americans wants to live again their 1850’s American Dream, by becoming again a white supremacist country, so be it. Let them be isolated. Mexico and many countries will open their doors to all the Americans doing an exodus from Trumpland.

Win Trump

Well, and if anybody of you readers are collapsing into a rant, let me show you this funny yet true video from “Last Week Tonight” show with John Oliver analizing why Trump is so charismatic yet so dangerous.

Mexicans coming back

More Mexican immigrants have returned to Mexico from the U.S. than have migrated to USA from 2009 to 2014 according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of newly available government data from both countries. This is far from being the real data, but it shows the estimate thrown by both governments.

Today is Revolution Day in México, and I just woke up with these news that you can read here:

More Mexicans leaving than coming to the U.S.A.

Mexican Inmigration

From 2009 to 2014, 1 million of Mexicans and their families including children born in the USA have left the U.S.A for México according to data from the 2014 Mexican National Survey of Demographic Dynamics (ENADID). U.S. census data for the same period show an estimated 870,000 Mexican nationals left Mexico to go to the U.S.A. a smaller number than the flow of families from the U.S. to Mexico.

We can speculate a lot of why are the reasons of these numbers which are contrary to the popular belief. I will dare to throw the following speculations:

1.- A slow recovery of U.S.A economy has created less attractive opportunities for Mexicans living in the States.

2.- An increased enforcement on deportations done in Obama’s administration.
14% of Mexicans returning to Mexico declare in the survey they have come back because of deportation.

3.- Mexicans’ nostalgia for México and their families made them return after many years living abroad. 61% of the people in the survey declare that.

4.- The view that life is better in the States has changed.
While almost half (48%) of adults in Mexico believe life is better in the U.S.A; a growing share says it is neither better nor worse than life in Mexico. 33% of adults in México say life is just the same in the States than in México.

5.- Mexicans hate to be discriminated.
The speech of politicians such as Donald Trump and the constant discrimination Mexicans and Latinos suffer in the street made some Mexican citizens to realize they want to get out. That happens also with the tourists. In my case, after some bad treatment I got while traveling “In Transit” even with a up-to-date American Visa. I decided to try not to visit again the USA for holidays. There are many countries in the world that are worth to visit.

 

Happy Revolution Day to my Mexican friends in Mexico. I hope we can stand out to make things better in our country.
