The American and Mexican Dreams, from fading to rising.

As economic and political challenges make homeownership and financial stability increasingly elusive for many Americans, a new reality is emerging.

The vision of prosperity and opportunity that once defined the American Dream is shifting south for some people looking to spend their golden years stress-free.

Regardless of the outcome of the election, these challenges will significantly disrupt the United States. We are a nation divided by irreconcilable ideals, with no room for compromise.

Although we are a great and resilient country, built on the sacrifices of many, it allows us the freedom to choose, express opinions, and hold beliefs, religious or otherwise. Our decisions shape the future, but this same freedom extends to the other half of the country, whose conflicting visions cannot be reconciled.

These different ideals are already causing social unrest and signaling the beginning of significant changes. Regardless of the position one takes, we are at a point of no return.

The United States goal of reducing dependence on China for manufacturing faces obstacles, as many factories have moved there over the past 50 years to produce more cheaply. Over the last ten years, efforts to disengage from China have increased due to geopolitical issues, trust issues, and China's rise in technology and military power, even surpassing the United States in certain technologies and products, such as electric cars.

China's threat to invade Taiwan, which currently produces high-tech products for the United States, makes the probability of invasion assured once we relocate all of our secret technology manufactured there.

The United States recognizes China as one country with three special administrative regions (SARs)—Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan—but American interests within Taiwan have created a pact of protection, the responsibility of providing weapons and military logistics and protection has stopped China from invading Taiwan.

The probability of invasion, if there is a change of administration, is almost guaranteed, democracy will be replaced by autocracy, including in the United States. The world order and our allies in NATO are already preparing for this possibility. This leads us to consider what is feasible and likely to happen.

The United States closed many factories, driven by profits and cheaper production costs in China, resulting in dependence on other countries for manufacturing due to domestic regulations and high production costs. Green technology regulations that make coal and natural gas production more difficult also contributed.

Only about 30% of products can be manufactured in Mexico due to labor intensity, other labor-intensive products are already being produced in Southeast Asia and some other countries. However, demand for high-tech products is pushing the United States to reestablish itself as a manufacturing center, particularly for advanced technologies such as high-tech chips.

This has led to the search for new trusted partners, with Mexico being a natural option due to its proximity. It was necessary to guarantee the commitment of the Mexican government to address the problems of violence, corruption, and productivity.

As the new Mexican government addresses these challenges, a collaboration is forming that will create many well-paying jobs for Mexican workers, reducing their need to migrate to the United States in search of the American Dream; Instead, they may thrive in Mexico, while some Americans may pursue the “Mexican Dream,” moving to Mexico to enjoy a more affordable retirement, a trend that is already beginning.

This change is creating new opportunities within Mexico itself, reducing the need for its citizens to migrate north in search of prosperity. Instead, they will be able to find well-paying jobs and a higher standard of living at home.

Meanwhile, some Americans, disillusioned with their country's trajectory, are beginning to look to Mexico and other parts of the world as a place to retire affordably and enjoy a better quality of life.

Mexico, with its growing economy and its commitment to addressing internal problems such as violence and corruption, is becoming a beacon for those seeking a better quality of life.

As the United States struggles with high costs of living, political division, and manufacturing challenges, Mexico is stepping up as a viable alternative. The aspirations that once fueled the American Dream are being fulfilled by the Mexican Dream, marking a significant shift in where people look for hope and opportunity.

After China lost the two most powerful buying markets, Europe, and the United States, where it could place its products. While China has been actively investing billions of dollars in building alliances and infrastructure in friendlier countries, In recent years, China's international investments have experienced significant growth. China has become the top trading partner for numerous countries in Latin America and Africa. This in turn has posed a challenge to the United States' strategic influence worldwide.

They invested billions of dollars in their remembrance of the “Silk Road” program, or its “new, quality productive forces.” program and “Made in China 2025” building intern infrastructure as well as in countries to place their products, only to have to close some alliances in countries, with billions of dollars in losses.

At the same time, during the last Mexican administration, Chinese factories, made some alliances with Mexico with the intent to insert themselves in Mexico, and its 13 Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with 50 countries —including USMCA and FTAs with the European Union, European Free Trade Area, Japan, Israel, 10 countries in Latin America, and the 11-country Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, to triangulate the sale of its products from Mexico, forcing Mexico to put higher tariffs on Chinese raw materials, making it hard to compete.

The dragon is facing internal economic difficulties, such as housing, unemployment, and overproduction of commodities, but that topic is for another time, along with all the opportunities it offers.
