I see nothing wrong with the saying. They literally have streets in mexico city that are english only. Cafes, yoga classes, bars, all in english, no spanish.
It’s colonialism.

Did you really just take a far right saying and applied it to Mexico City?

Far right saying?
Colonialism ≠ immigration.
These people going to mexico city are there specifically so they can exploit the people already living there due to their higher wages.

Yeah. I’ve heard right wing talking heads and unfortunate people I had to personally deal with complain that there are whole streets in cities that don’t speak the language.
So why shouldn’t we be mad at the landlords and property speculators who have inflated property prices because of greed? Maybe the people from the USA moved because they can’t afford to live in the city thry left? And Trump. Trump supporters have used love it or leave it twice now. Remote working made it feasable for people to take that advice.
