Go to South America, somewhere like Brazil, Uruguay or Peru. Mexico's president is an actual socialist and there is a serious risk that he will ruin their economy and ally with drug dealers like Maduro and Fernandez did. I think Brazil is the best option because their population is in a conservative wave right now and their money devaluated a lot in the last 2 years. With 100.000 dollars you can buy a big farm with lots of cattle or an apartment in front of the beach.

I am familiar with Brazil and I know a bit about Uruguay. In Brazil, the best places are in the south of the country, in states like Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná because they were colonized by germans and italians. It is super organized and clean, people in general are very polite and educated and the climate is much colder than the rest of Brazil. One of the great advantages of the south is that it is just next to the border, so you can easily cross legaly to Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina to visit and buy things over there with a nice price. The best city in the south right now is Curitiba, it has a great quality of life.

Minas Gerais is a little bit different, but is also very interesting. It's a very old part of brazil, with a more solid rural catholic tradition. There are many beautiful cities with lots of history, and is not very populated so the land is cheap.

São Paulo is a giant megalopolis, with lots of opportunities, but also lots of problems. It is very modern and cosmopolite and receives immigrants from all parts of the world. It is an interesting place to go if you work with big business, but it is a tough place if you are poor.

But the only place you should not go at all is Rio de Janeiro, the city is very expensive and is in a serious decline. It is similar to detroit during the decadence, with violence, crimes and unemployment. all previous governors of Rio were in jail for corruption and the current one is facing an impeachment. Rio is in a serious crisis and has no perspective of improving.

There are already actual American settlements in Brazil, who established after the secession war in Americana and Santa Barbara do Oeste. They still maintain some of the culture and language, but I don't know how much they preserve.

In Uruguay the best place is Punta del Este. It is a big touristic city with casinos, paradisiac beaches and rich people.
