Mexican federal authorities moved forcefully yesterday to begin evicting U.S. retirees from homes built on beach property that is at the center of a long-running land battle.
Backed up by more than 400 police officers, officials of a federal land agency went door to door to carry out an eviction order handed down last week by Mexico's Supreme Court to settle the ownership dispute.
Residents in some cases were given no more than a few minutes to abandon homes on a scenic finger of land about 18 miles south of the port city of Ensenada.
``It's like somebody dying and you have to say goodbye,'' said Guadalupe Limon, tears trailing under her sunglasses.
Limon and her husband, Juan, had to pack up their belongings and leave the two-story house across the street from the beach where they lived part time for 12 years.

well if that is how they want to play the game ,it should become open season for American cops to remove all illegals from the USA. if Americans are not good enough to live in Mexico then Mexicans are not good enough to live in America. Then the USA needs to cut off all support to Mexicans ,no free ride now ! then see what happens.

That is sad, and very unfair I agree. I believe that if you are Mexican and come here and become a legal Citizen you forfeit your right to own land in Mexico as well. BUT isnt what they do to Americans exactly what Americans wish our government would do to them. Could it be we are just angry because Mexico actually ENFORCES their immigration laws and we dont??!!

they had to pay or leave, there are towns in mexico where 90 percent of the people are americans, mostly old white people, i've been to two of those towns and they are happy, so this article doesn't reflect the reality of americans living in mexico
