US Seniors in Mexico

Interesting map. Remember it is seniors (retired, I assume) in 2000.

Wow- Jalisco and the Baja Norte and right across the border is the most.It's surprising to me, the northern states having so many. And I thought the Yucatan would have more.

That map would be a little different if you looked at the numbers of Canadian seniors I bet. It seems like most of them tend to go to Jalisco and points south from there.

So much for the "greatest" country on earth, huh?

"You can barely afford to live in the United States anymore," said Harry Kislevitz, 78, of New York City. A stroke victim, he moved to a convalescent home on the lake's shore two years ago and credits the staff with helping him recover his speech and ability to walk.

I am surprised that there is a sizable population of Seniors living in Juarez. That city would be the last place I would pick to live when I retire. I wouldn't feel safe with the corrupt police force there.
