RE: Travelling is not getting easier
We so agree that the Canadians are suffering. They have a totally different government set up than those in the US have.
We have a close friend, a retired Canadian professor who explained the differences to us. It makes sense, and if necessary, I'll have him explain the governmental differences.
We are fortunate that we have several different governments, but at times they get complicated and tough to understand how and why they are different.

RE: Travelling is not getting easier
After reading the link you provided, thank you, people need to realize that the US website may or may not have the current information.
At least here in Guerrero, everyone who is 40 years of age or older has received their doses (however many required) of the COVID vaccine. The 30 to 39 year olds received their first dose of AstraZenica last week, and will receive the second one in September.
Else where in the country, the 18 year olds and older are receiving their vaccines. Mexico is actively vaccinating their people of all ages.
Will this help? It sure couldn't hurt. At this time, Mexico is doing a decent job with vaccination, especially compared with many countries in the rest of the world, and it's continuing.
We live here, will continue to, and feel strongly that things are being handled in a reasonable way.

RE: Travelling is not getting easier
We have spent most of our lives for the last 40 years in countries other than the US. We have always been impressed with the fact that mask wearing is not uncommon. Food service, having a cold, not feeling great, people wear masks.
In the US, if anyone in the past wore a mask, there was something seriously wrong or you were a criminal-or Michael Jackson.
Let's hear it for trying NOT to share your "bug" with others without being labeled as a criminal.

RE: Travelling is not getting easier
I agree with many of you that have said, basically, I'm vaccinated, and if you have chosen not to be vaccinated, that is your crisis, not mine. And yes, it is 99.8% survivable. Life is for living.

RE: Border News
There are no requirements of any kind for entering Mexico.
If you are flying to the US from any international destination, you must show proof of a negative test within three days of your arrival in the US.
That being said, we have had several friends fly from here to both Los Angeles and Texas and the airline never asked them for their proof of testing.

RE: Border News
Anyone who is a US citizen, even if they have never been in the US is responsible for paying taxes in the US on their income.
Giving up US citizenship is extremely difficult and costly.
We have no desire to do that, and choose to pay the taxes the US has decided we owe. We had many years of living in the US and do not regret them.
Mexico is not the first country that we have lived in for an extended period of time that is not part of the US, and we made the same decision then.

RE: Border News
Maybe. We personally used the funds to pay the income taxes that we owed to the US government in the country where we don't live and don't generate income.
It's an interesting situation.

The only travelers to the US that are required to show a negative Covid test, or proof of vaccination are those that are flying in.

RE: Border News
Definitely, but as of today, more states in Mexico came out of the green light and went back to yellow.
Here in Guerrero the 30 to 39 year olds start vaccinating today. It may be nation wide, I don't know. That means that in theory, every one 30 or over, educators, medical people and pregnant women have had the ability to be vaccinated.
Whatever it takes.

RE: Border News
It's a step in the right direction.
News release
International flights carrying passengers will be permitted to land at five additional Canadian airports
July 19, 2021 | Ottawa | Public Health Agency of Canada
The Government of Canada is prioritizing the health and safety of everyone in Canada by taking a risk-based and measured approach to re-opening our borders. Thanks to the hard work of Canadians, rising vaccination rates and declining COVID-19 cases, the Government of Canada is able to move forward with adjusted border measures.
On September 7, 2021, provided that the domestic epidemiologic situation remains favourable, the Government intends to open Canada’s borders to any fully vaccinated travellers who have completed the full course of vaccination with a Government of Canada-accepted vaccine at least 14 days prior to entering Canada and who meet specific entry requirements.
As a first step, starting August 9, 2021, Canada plans to begin allowing entry to American citizens and permanent residents, who are currently residing in the United States, and have been fully vaccinated at least 14 days prior to entering Canada for non-essential travel. This preliminary step allows for the Government of Canada to fully operationalize the adjusted border measures ahead of September 7, 2021, and recognizes the many close ties between Canadians and Americans.
Subject to limited exceptions, all travellers must use ArriveCAN (app or web portal) to submit their travel information. If they are eligible to enter Canada and meet specific criteria, fully vaccinated travellers will not have to quarantine upon arrival in Canada.
To further support these new measures, Transport Canada is expanding the scope of the existing Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) that currently directs scheduled international commercial passenger flights into four Canadian Airports: Montréal-Trudeau International Airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport, Calgary International Airport, and Vancouver International Airport.
Effective August 9, 2021, international flights carrying passengers will be permitted to land at the following five additional Canadian airports:
Halifax Stanfield International Airport;
Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport;
Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport;
Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport; and
Edmonton International Airport.
These airports, in cooperation with the Public Health Agency of Canada, the Canada Border Services Agency and Transport Canada, are working to implement the measures necessary to safely welcome international passengers as soon as possible after August 9, as conditions dictate.
All travellers, regardless of vaccination status, will still require a pre-entry COVID-19 molecular test result. However effective August 9, 2021, the Government of Canada is adjusting its post-arrival testing strategy for fully vaccinated travellers. Using a new border testing surveillance program at airports and land border crossings, fully vaccinated travellers will not need a post-arrival test unless they have been randomly selected to complete a Day 1 COVID-19 molecular test. There are no changes to the mandatory testing requirements for unvaccinated travellers.
This strategy allows the Government of Canada to continue monitoring variants of concern in Canada and vaccine effectiveness. Using these layers of protection, the Government of Canada can monitor the COVID-19 situation in Canada, respond quickly to threats, and guide decisions on restricting international travel.
Finally, with the advent of increased vaccination rates in Canada, declining COVID-19 cases and reduced pressure on health care capacity, the three-night government authorized hotel stay requirement will be eliminated for all travellers arriving by air as of 12:01 A.M. EDT on August 9. Fully vaccinated travellers who meet the requirements will be exempt from quarantine; however, all travellers must still provide a quarantine plan and be prepared to quarantine, in case it is determined at the border that they do not meet the necessary requirements.
While Canada continues to trend in the right direction, the epidemiological situation and vaccination coverage is not the same around the world. The Government of Canada continues to advise Canadians to avoid non-essential travel outside of Canada – international travel increases your risk of exposure to COVID-19 and its variants, as well as of spreading it to others. Border measures also remain subject to change as the epidemiological situation evolves. As Canada looks to welcome fully vaccinated travellers from the U.S., the federal government will continue to monitor the situation and provide updated travel advice to Canadians.

It's impossible to compare the numbers from Mexico to those from the US and Canada. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

RE: Militarization of Aduanas
Vasectomy is a popular form of contraception among males that already have two children. We have been amazed at the number of men who take advantage of this free service.
Being a curious person, I have asked, over the past number of years, about birth control. It seems as though the most popular choice among females are the injectables, which are free. The pill is not free and is expensive.
The catholic church here is not a huge presence. There is one very small church and one small meeting place/church. That is it. We also have a number of other religions represented including Luz del Mondo and LDS.
All of my comments are based on my own knowledge and I live in the state of Guerrero. Other states and towns may be quite different.
Times change. People are becoming more educated, especially about life choices like the number of children they have and can afford.
Here is an interesting website with numbers: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/mexico-population/

RE: Militarization of Aduanas
I was hoping that someone would jump in with real numbers. Thanks!!!
Here in Zihuatanejo, those of the reproductive age seem to pride themselves with limiting themselves to 2 or even better, 1.
Birthrates are an interesting thing to discuss, and I feel that I have a serious vote because I decided, back WAY before it was in style, to not reproduce for a number of reasons.

RE: Closed: Border opening
Currently in Mexico the educators, medical personnel, pregnant women and anyone 40 and older has had the ability to get vaccinated. Here in Guerrero the numbers have dropped dramatically.
In my opinion the vaccinations here are moving along nicely, much better than in many other countries.
Just back from the store and we ran into one of the health officials. He stated that the 30 to 39 year olds will be receiving their vaccines very soon, before the second dose for the 40+ year olds.
