[quote=FlyerInHi]Let’s suppose some Mexican or binational kids (a few hundred or a few thousands) are going to school in San Diego.
What’s the harm? They will become little Americans and adopt our culture taking is back to Mexico. That’s good for us.
Obviously those kids and parents can legally enter. If you make it difficult for them to attend school, they’ll just relocate here (because as was mentioned before, they are willing to make extraordinary sacrifices for their kids). So you end up with the same situation.[/quote]
I don’t think so . . . when they can rent a 4 bdrm, 2 bath SFR south of the border for $400 – $550 month . . . smaller SFRs are even cheaper.
Not gonna happen. That’s why thousands of US born “non-Hispanic” families and retirees live in BC in reasonably close proximity to SD.
It’s economical living, plain and simple …. and ability to have household help and forge their own deal to do so without all the tax hassles of living in the US.
It’s the same reason you (as a SD Native) are now living in LV, with its oppressive heat more than half the year, FIH. You made this decision to consciously avoid state income tax. Well, “professional couples” (doctors, dentists and lawyers, esp those who work close to the border) LOVE having a FT nanny with a car and a SENTRI pass, and a housekeeper as well. Hence, they are renting in MX (or buying property there if one or both of them are Mexican Nationals or dual citizens).
