Well, talk about irony smacking you right between the eyes. After decades of millions flooding into the United States from Mexico, both legally and illegally, crying for open borders, free benefits, and “no human is illegal” bumper stickers plastered on every Prius in California, the tables have turned. Now, Mexicans are throwing a full-blown tantrum because Americans are moving into their neighborhoods.
On July 4th, while we were celebrating independence and barbecuing in the good ol’ USA, hundreds of angry demonstrators in Mexico City took to the streets protesting, of all things, gentrification by Americans. Their main complaint? Americans are “stealing” their homes, driving up housing prices, and “imposing their culture” on Mexican neighborhoods.
Sound familiar? Yeah, that’s basically been the talking point from open-border activists here in the States for decades. Except now, it’s Mexicans yelling, “Speak Spanish or get out of here!” and plastering graffiti with violent phrases across city walls. You just can’t script irony this good.
Since around 2020, there’s been a noticeable uptick in Americans, especially remote workers and affluent retirees, heading south of the border for cheaper living and a lower cost of life. Mexico lets foreigners stay for up to 180 days without a visa, making it a paradise for anyone tired of high U.S. taxes, California regulations, or New York’s crime wave. Naturally, this migration has ticked off some locals.
But instead of the kumbaya, global unity rhetoric the open borders crowd loves to preach, the protests turned hostile. The Associated Press reported that what started as a peaceful demonstration quickly turned violent. Masked agitators smashed storefronts, looted high-end businesses, and harassed tourists in the popular Condesa and Roma neighborhoods—places that have become hotspots for foreign residents and travelers.
They screamed at tourists, vandalized shops, and demanded laws to crack down on foreign “invaders” and stricter regulations on tourism and housing. Imagine that: Mexicans suddenly want borders, laws, and protections for their way of life. Meanwhile, American leftists are still chanting “no borders, no walls.”

Maybe next time our southern neighbors get the itch to criticize the U.S. for defending our sovereignty, they should take a hard look at their own backyard. Looks like the consequences of unchecked migration don’t feel so good when the shoe’s on the other foot.
