I am new to this forum. Considering relocating from US to Mexico with my 3 children. I've heard of expats living in rosarito or playas de Tijuana and commuting across the border to work everyday, anybody have experience with this? I am a registered nurse and I'm not sure what the laws in Mexico are on foreign Nurses. The father of my children is originally from Mexico though it's been over 20 years since he has been there he would be moving as well and is fluent in Spanish. I have a friend in Monterrey as well, what is it like living there as an expat? Mostly I'm curious about safety for my children as we all know the terrible light the US sheds on Mexico. I'm not sure if I would rather live where I can commute and work in US or live further into Mexico and work there. Any advice or experiences would be so appreciated!

You may find the commute across the border will take more time than you are willing to spend.
You and your mate should go to the nearest Mexican consulate and register your children with them as Mexican citizens. Dual citizenship has many advantages. Once done, you may apply, as their mother, for a residence visa under vincula familiar rules, with your mate as your common law husband. This will avoid problems with schools, etc., and will shorten the time it will tak you to become Residente Permanente with the ability to work, or even become a naturalized citizen; ie: a dual citizen yourself. Meanwhile, you will have to learn Spanish if you want any chance to qualify for a Mexican professional cedula through their system, enabling you to look for work as a nurse.
Buena suerte.

Can you imagine if stores are running out of food how they will behave??? get out while you can!

Sometimes I think of buying a house in Mexico is important because family may needs to escape the chaos Trump is capable of creating and seems to enjoy..

I know what you mean! People who I have mentioned this idea to say I'm crazy because of the crime rates here but US has terribly high crime rates, selfishness and greed. I want to raise my children where they will learn to appreciate eachother rather than always wanting things. Thank you for your response.
