Gringolandia – The U.S. Migrant Boom Hits Mexico
Tagged: MexicoPosted on: April 2nd, 2007“Nobody knows for sure how many people of US origin reside in Puerto Vallarta and other regions of Mexico, but Croucher said that one US State Department estimate made several years ago pegged the number at about 600,000 souls. Since 9-11, the US government has become reticent about disclosing information concerning US citizens living abroad, Croucher added.
In addition to the older haunts of San Miguel de Allende and Lake Chapala in central Mexico, newer gringo “clusters” are emerging along the Baja California peninsula, at Rocky Point Puerto Peñasco in Sonora, around Banderas Bay in Jalisco and Nayarit, in Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa and Troncones in Guerrero, and along the Mayan Riviera on the Caribbean Coast.”
