2008-03-31T16:20:00Z

In a neighborhood with houses starting and $300,000 and up, the owner says, "Unload it for $179.000." It is an unfinished new construction home that is right across a small street from the ocean.

Foreclosures in Mexico?

2008-03-15T16:25:00Z

ALL CASH GIVES SOLID GROUND DURING TOUGH TIMES There is a fact that is hard for US citizens to believe---when a home is purchased in Mexico, the comm on practice is for the buyer to pay all cash.

Prejudice against the Mexicans?

2008-03-15T16:11:00Z

Mexicans living in the United States are living with hate and prejudice.Many of the legal residents who have been naturalized have to face attitudes that are thickly prejudicial....."Go back home" is the message they receive as they are faced with dirty looks and having to justify their naturalization.
