Yes,apply for a visa for 6 months, during that time apply for an fm3, that's good for three years, then apply for an fm2, good for 2 years, next apply for citizenship.
Anyone can buy property here in Mexico, there are some areas you cannot buy, Indigenous land, and some other restrictions but not much different then the USA
They have changed many laws in the last 7 years regarding land ownership and concessions, the party that held sway for 70 years when voted out when Vincenta Fox became Pres..

Yes ... but Mexico does not recognize multiple citizenships. You are either a Mexican citizen ... or you're not.
Obtaining a Mexican citizenship would mean losing your American one.
Anyone (of any nationality) can purchase Mexican property, as long as the property is not set aside for specific purpose (indigenous land, nature preserve, park, etc).

The following 10 facts have been pulled from the LA Times.
1. L.A. County has 10 million people. 40% of all workers in L.A. County are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.
2. Of the 10 million people in L.A. County, 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million Speak only Spanish.
3. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
4. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
5. Over two-thirds of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
6. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
7. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
8. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
9. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

Yeah, but if you ever protest anything there government does you will be thrown in prison. There's a whole list of other ridiculously restricitive immigration rules in Mexico.

Yes, but ironically, you have to go thru the proper channels and do it legally.
Hmmm, it seems their government believes more in the sovereignty of a nation than OUR government does.
Our motto seems to be "come on in, we don't care".
