Dear Sir,
I am interested in the new income requirements for expats to live in Mexico. If the United States were to incorporate the Mexican plan, few if any would vacation or reside there. The minimum wage in the U.S. capital is 8.25 dollars per hour. A minimum wage earner in Washington D.C. earns 17,424 dollars per year. If a Mexican were to attempt to have temporary residence in the United States, he would, using Mexican standards, have to receive 39,666 dollars per year. A Mexican immigrant would have to earn, or have at his disposal, 49,500 dollars per year. I cannot imagine the negative reaction if the United States used Mexican immigration laws.
