Nothing hypocritical there. I think it's safe to assume that people in the USA complaining about Mexican immigrants are not those who are moving to Mexico, and those complainers in Mexico City are not among those who went to El Norte.
Sounds to me like a general anti-gentrification beef. It's just that in this case the gentrifiers are from another country.

I generally understand the point you're trying to make but I don't think I agree. Who is being hypocritical here?
Mainly talking about the online conversation around this is hypocritical. Flip the countries around, most twitter accounts support it. Now do it in this direction and twitter accounts are all against it. Its hypocritical in my opinion.
Not speaking necessarily about the people in Mexico City, assuming they didn't immigrate to the USA themselves ever. It would be hypocritical of them though if they did immigrate to the USA at one point and are now complaining about USA citizens immigrating there.

Well, they want to get people OUT and don't have an idea about their country being any kind of liberty sanctuary. So, dump all the discontents in America, get with a Cartel, and rule the rest like kings and queens. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me?
IDK. I mean that's taking the actions of one group within a huge group of Mexican citizens, interpreted by citizens of the US, and comparing that whole ball of wax with the actions of a smaller group that doesn't seem to have related interests.
So...kind of a weird comparison, could be wrong but fair warning, you could catch yourself writing a Youtube comment at any time, any place, without any notice!
Fair disclosure, a family member was on a team that traveled to the border and interviewed refugees and DPs coming across.
The team members were 100% targeted by various third-party government intelligence groups (spear phishing, you name it) and in exchange they got to hear vulnerable individuals relate extremely specific experiences with targeted mob killings, government corruption, and senseless random violence.
Then those same people got treated like absolute sh*t up here anyway, due in part to policies enacted by people too distant and self-absorbed to care...
(Man, I swear all it would take to solve this is a little more creativity and a little less mindless projection...)

Curious, what do you mean by that?
Also, I am mainly speaking about the online conversation around this topic, not so much Mexican citizens in a city. As you say, people can have different opinions on it in that city.
I understand this is a complicated subject with different points of view. I was just posting on here to get what others thought about it.

If you mean from places like Mexico, I will note that Mexico is in North America, not South America.
> anyone can see the hypocrisy in this right?
It's only hypocrisy if you assume every Mexican citizen is part of a hive mind, which they aren't, and also ignore the reasons for their views (e.g., that the opposition in Mexico City is largely opposition to white gentrification reinforcing preexisting elitism and white racism at the expensive of non-rich non-whites.)
