Yes they pay double or more . Also you can't even buy property there if you want to invest in their economy!
. Also if you look at the Mexican President and other politicians and celebrities you'll notice they are light skinned too . Notice that it's usually the dark Mexicans coming over ?
Why doesn't anyone ask why Mexico is so discriminating against the skin color of their citizens .
Look at the previous President of Mexico too he looks white also .
There two distinct people living in Mexico...Native Mexicans and European Mexicans. The European Mexican control the wealth and political power and the Native Mexicans live in houses with dirt floors. Most European Mexicans live in the bigger cities or big ranches (or both) the native Mexicans mostly work in the fields or other low paying jobs. There is differently a caste system in Mexico.
It's not just a "gringo tax" in Mexico...locals everywhere don't respond well to expats who don't speak the language barging in and griping about how nobody speaks English.

Having spent over 25 years traveling to over 80 countries I can say for a fact if someone traveling in a foreign country wants to buy something and has money.... someone will magically appear and speak English to you.
The fact is in my experience the only place I had a problem with someone unwilling to speak English was in Montreal Canada.

It has nothing to do with language, and everything to do with skin color. Spanish speaking gringos, still pay the "tax".
That is hogwash and only a liberal and the MSM talking point. Some of the biggest employers like Starbucks which supported Hillary has announced hiring 10K illegals. Microsoft and Amazon are two others who support illegals in the country.
The main reason democrats want open borders is the vote.
I do not support a moratorium on legal immigration but do support an mandatory e-verify on businesses to help stem the tide of illegals aliens and help in self deportation.
Here is a link to a real kicker: Businesses to receive incentive for hiring illegal immigrants, report says
Starbucks never claimed to hire illegals. Several months ago, a story was published that Starbucks planned to hire 10,000 REFUGEES. Starbucks stated that wasn't a true story. Whew!
Uh; even a Spanish speaking "brown skin" Puerto Rican visiting Mexico legally would still be treated like any other gringo?
Of course not. The locals know better than to try to shake down someone just as poor as them.
Even the poorest of Gringos are rich by Latin American Standards.
