This particular case is an amazing one. It does point the obvious corruption throughout Mexico (just like the USA) but in this case the people stood
strong and played their cards nicely.
The story does illustrate how amazing Mexican people are, how honest real community members are and how they respect values of the community. To me,
its awesome, fantastic, there is nothing more powerful than a strong community. They stopped the nonsense by simply being present and digging a ditch
which literally put a kabash on the entire scam, and now with the news story the scam is likely put to bed.
Though, it should be clear that this situation is unique, the owners held no fidicomiso, they had no title, they simply had time on the land with an
agreement. There are many cases like this and they should be recognized for what they are, temporary leases.
The problem with a land lease of ejido land in mexico is that once a gringo gringifies the land, everyone wants the land whose rights to use can
easily be attacked from a variety of angles since it is not titled.
What are you going to do... its almost a certain path, lease land from an ejido, fix it up, get run off the land.

The difference is, in an eminent domain or other type of "taking", the reason must be for the public good, which is appealable in a court of law, and
that you receive fair market value for it if it is taken - not a bunch of yahoos showing up with a pick-up truck. The "revocableness" and
"temporariness" of property rights in the US is slight at best. Of course there will always be property disputes, and a clear paper trail and due
process procedures exist for unraveling such disputes. But being forced to turn over your land, your house without due process? Won't happen.

The only land any foreigner really owns in Mexico is the dirt under their fingernails. And, most gringos don't know much about that.

Just remember, it is very likely a change of goverment will take place in the next elections. And there are a lot of people that want pay backs. Many
people that think they are untouchable now will go to jail.
Remember what i said.
