Russian Migrant's Defense Against Gentrification Claims in Mexico Sparks Online Fury

A recent video featuring Russian migrant Natalia, who has been residing in Mexico for two years, has ignited a heated debate on social media regarding gentrification and economic contributions. In the video, Natalia directly addresses criticisms, stating, "My money comes from Russia. Literally, I bring money from Russia to Mexico. I don't work here." She further elaborates that she pays rent to a Mexican landlord and buys tacos from Mexican vendors, implying her spending benefits the local economy. Natalia also questioned her critics, asking, "If you feel like something is being taken from you, ask yourself what you can offer people like me who want to buy." The video, originally posted by 'mexicanos.al.grito0' and featuring Natalia from 'natalia.rusa.mexico', highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding foreign residents in popular Mexican cities. Commenters largely expressed skepticism and anger. One user remarked, "She doesn't pay taxes, but she pays rent, food, and services, like any other Mexican who also pays taxes." Another user simply stated, "MÉXICO es para los MEXICANOS!" The debate centers on the economic impact of foreign residents who may not pay local income taxes but contribute through consumption, and the rising cost of living for locals.
