Why does everyone say the illegal immigrants come to USA for a better life? Mexico is actually nicer than USA?

I went on vacation to Mexico with my parents in November. We went to the Mayan Rivera near Cancun, and it wasn't poor and dirty like some people say. When my parents said we where going to Mexico, I was like OMG wtf are you crazy? But the hotel was actually really nice, and it was like 5 star, and it had fancy restaurants, and a huge pool and beautiful clean beach and tennis courts and stuff like that. And across the street from our resort hotel, there was big mansion neighborhoods with giant gates at the front with like guards and stuff. There was even like a little mall near us, and it had a Starbucks, McDonald's and lot's of designer stores.

I don't get why everyone says Mexico is so bad? It's actually very nice, and the people seem rich not poor.

mexico is really nice............. in places. but i wonder if you traveled outside of the tourist area? But it isn't as bad as people make it out to be.i drove all the way down to mid veracruz.......... i didn;t get robbed....... nor did i get harressed by the police. for the most part the people were really nice and friendly.once you get outof the city and tourist area things change but it is the same here


throw them out
Your whole question shows your ignorance, Do you think if you are a tourist going the most traveled tourist location in Mexico it would look like the real Mexico? Never ask anything again.

Have you been outside of the resort cities? Try going to mexico city and other towns other then resort towns. There rundown, dirty and dangerous.

that's the dumbest question I've read on here in a while.

you went to Cancun, princess. it's built for American tourists! go to the other 99.9% of Mexico, where drug lords rule, poverty is across the board and workers make next to nothing everyday. then ask yourself why they come to america.


ascloud@sbcglobal.net
What part did you go to? Cancun? Try going to the border cities or like Chihuahua or Tijuana. You might rethink your question.

You went to a "resort", and paid something to have it nice and easy. Go to a border town, go to the outskirts of a city and see how they live and how it is. Now the way other people make it in other places than a resort, is with money. Mexico does not care about anything but money. You have money there you can rule, until you run or of money and then you are ruled.

the tourist locations of mexico are very nice and well kept. A large portion of Mexico's legit economy comes from tourism. I can't blame you for not knowing what the rest of Mexico is like if you have no experience, just realize you have only seen the tourist spots.

You went to a resort, it is guarded heavily from Mexican civilians. Mexico is very, very, poor, and there is no middle class


Ronnie Reign
you were at a tourist spot. there's a huge gap in their social ladder between the well to do and the not so well to do.


Mr. O
you are right, there are some really nice areas to mexico. especially in the major tourist destinations.

however mexico as a whole is a lot poorer than the us.

You just went on vacation (tourist spot) but you haven't seen some other villages like the ones I have lived in. and people that go to the US to work get more money so that they can have a better living or take it to their familes.

LOL, venture out, those things are there to get tourists money, do you think that Mexicans stay in 5 star hotels everyday?

Wages are much less in Mexico than in the U.S. Although you saw the nice tourist areas, it does not mean that everyone lives that well. Away from the hotels and beach clubs live a lot of people in poverty, in tiny shacks in places with no jobs at all. Mexicans come to the U.S. to make enough money so their families won't starve. Just because you didn't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.


whoareyou
Trying going to the central states of mexico, while a lot of there land is untouched and has it's natural beauty there towns and villages are poor, dirty, unsanitary, and lack medical facilities. Do you honestly think that Mexico would allow their tourist destinations to be viewed in the same way.

one you were in a tourist attraction of coarse it is gonna be nice and clean and 2nd there is no more in mexico the people are VERY poor.. Open your eyes honey go one a missionary trip down there to the little towns that have nothing!!


h103192
In the united stated we have three classes. first, middle, and a lower class. You are in the first class. the middle class would be what most people are. The lowest class is well, the poorest. In Mexico there is really only two classes, the rich people and the poor workers. Most of mexico is poor. yes its beautiful if you can afford it. Most live in shacks. Ive been to the Riviera Mayan which is what you probably mean, and it is a great place.

IF ITS SO GREAT IN MEXICO, HOW COME WE HAVE 11,000,000 ILLEGAL ALIENS IN THE U.S. MAYBE FOR A BETTER LIFE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES?? YA THINK???

Honey, you only saw one tiny little slice of Mexico - the good part. The country is full of impoverished people. If things were so ducky down there, why are so many of them risking their lives to come here??

Oh my God! You cannot be that naive! Of course the area you stayed in was super nice- they cater to tourists and have a string economy because of their location.You are correct that Mexico is a beautiful country - in parts. But to get an accurate view , next time take a drive and make sure to pass through areas like Matamores or Tijuana. Not so pretty my spoiled little friend.

Maybe you should go to another part of Mexico DUMB BLONDE.
Are you some sort of stupid? That was only a portion of Mexico. If everyone lived in mansions with live security and fences, WHY WOULD THEY LEAVE?!! Use your head. Mexico is not all rich and fancy. Educate yourself sometime. Or go live there.


Aleksandr
You went to Cancun.

Mexico has an extreme wealth-distribution problem... the very wealthy have a lot of power, and those who are not very wealthy are very poor. But now that the middle class is being dismantled in the U.S. and nobody's fighting for their rights, the U.S. is going to start looking exactly the same. Along with most nations of the world.

You are one of THOSE people who thinks Mexico is just a tourist destinations with out actually going anywhere else in Mexico. Maybe you should explore next time you find yourself in Mexico but if you do you might be frightened by what us other Americans have seen. Get a life and stop buying into the tourist draw. You will see corruption and poverty if you open your eyes and look every where else instead of where you've been and by what you've said you haven't really been to Mexico or SEEN it.
