An influx of Californians and other Americans has made its way to Mexico City, angering some locals who say they are gentrifying the area, according to a report.

The Los Angeles Times report on Wednesday outlined how some Mexican locals are "fed up" with the growing number of Americans, many from California, moving to and visiting the country, which has contributed to a rise in rent and a shift from Spanish to English in some places.

"New to the city? Working remotely?" fliers popping up around Mexico City reportedly said. "You’re a f—ing plague and the locals f—ing hate you. Leave."

Lol... Mexico getting some of their own medicine. Now they know what America felt like for many years.

That being said, I never thought I would see the day Americans starting to flee America. Portugal is being overcrowded by Americans settling there on the D7 visa. Mexico can no longer stand the large amount coming to them.

Crazy times....

This also rang true back in the 16th century.

The difference is that the Americans are actually uplifting the area though.

There's a growing amount of Americans emigrating to South Africa. Mostly blacks though

I assume it's 2000 people in the city of Mexico City, not all of Mexico.

2000 people is also a big enough sample size for a poll with a 99% confidence level and a 3% margin of error for a population of 8.855 million.

Reminds me of the hollywood kak we are being served every week.

Will have to go back on some of the movies. They speak English for a 1/3 of the movie then suddenly there is some weird language that the rest of the world don't understand.
