Mexican people do buy houses when they can afford them, so I think it's an economic barrier preventing them from doing so in NYC.
When Mexican nationals get to the point that they can afford a house in NYC they usually go back and buy ten times the house in Mexico. You wouldn't believe what you can get for $500k in Ciudad Mexico or Guadalajara. There is tremendous wealth down there and life is good. Those people don't care about a wall -- they aren't looking to leave home anymore.

Right; and I think wealthy Mexican immigrants tend to move to the West Coast if they do come to the USA.
I believe there is very little doubt now about the trend that we are seeing in Southern Brooklyn/ Sheepshead Bay will only accelerate, after you look at these statistics
Excerpt - The number of immigrants from mainland China in the United States nearly doubled from 299,000 in 1980 to 536,000 in 1990, and again to 989,000 in 2000, reaching 2.1 million in 2016.
New York City is home to by far the highest Chinese-American population of any city proper, with an estimated 573,388 Chinese-Americans in New York City,[1] significantly higher than the total of the next five cities combined; multiple large Chinatowns in Manhattan, Brooklyn (three), and Queens (three) are thriving as traditionally urban enclaves, as large-scale Chinese immigration continues into New York,

Sheepshead Bay is a very diverse place. Only reason why you see Russian is because South west of that area is a Russian Ghetto since 1991 ( at least from my understanding ). It has not really changed at all.
The "Asian" population is very mixed and is not Chinese but multiple including Korean. You want Chinese go to Chinatown. Same could be said about Bay Ridge.
I wouldn't eat from them because it would steal customers from restaurants in the area. Hoarding everything into one spot in order to have a specific experience is wrong in my opinion. If it was a "Chinese food" it would be the same cheap run-of-the-mill spots but only supped up into a super-restaurant. That being said many Russian places do this as well. I avoid.
