“SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, Mexico - On a Thanksgiving visit in 1997, Deb Turpin fell in love with this Mexican town, with its cobblestone streets and colonial architecture, and invested in two vacation rentals, Casa del Sol and Casa Vista. She rents out the houses - with cook and maid - on the Internet.

Turpin, who lives in Kansas City, Mo., is one of thousands of North Americans who are doing business or living in Mexico without the proper documentation. The number of foreigners who are running underground businesses in tourist areas is a growing concern for local officials because they often skirt paying fees and taxes.”
