Mexico's congress votes to charge cruise ship passengers $42 per head for port calls
Cruise ship industry players are up in arms after the lower house of Mexico's Congress voted this week to charge a $42 immigration levy for every passenger on cruise ships that dock in Mexico.
The difference between the two is that Mexico depends on U.S. tourism and industry. The U.S. suffers from the Mexican invasion since they pay little tax, use education and services, and undercut American industry that follows the rules and pays tax.
Ordinarily I’d say that Mexico would quickly retreat after it sees the impact on tourism, but from what I know about the New Mexican president she probably couldn’t care less if her people suffer.
She is either very stupid or she is trying to make a name for herself and it will go badly.
