Ironman points out some distinct advantages available to retirees, but there is no suggestion of mass emigration from the U.S. by young people who seek job opportunities which are available to them in Mexico or elsewhere in Latin America. To me, it looks like people from Mexico come to the U.S. for relatively better wages to support families, while U.S. citizens head to Mexico to get more bang for their accumulated bucks.
To get to the point of the thread, I find Steely's arguments to be compelling, and would further note tecoyah's admonition to "Pad the Pockets of Federales". To be "welcome" as an immigrant means to be afforded certain basic civil rights, albeit perhaps not equal to those of citizens. When it comes to the issue of U.S. citizens emigrating to Mexico, I'm just not feeling that kind of love.
