I have an idea of what I will do so I'd like to share it:
My parents are trying to resist going back to Mexico but I feel living in the shadows is not humane. The stress and anxiety are not worth it. They have considered using their savings to buy a house but they also think that they wouldn't be able to have jobs to pay of the rest of their mortgage since jobs in Mexico do not pay well. I was considering helping her out with the mortgage by doing weddings/quinceañera photography. My sister and I own professional equipment) and that's what we have been doing in Los Angeles for the past six months. It's starting out but we rely on weekday jobs (that soon may be gone). We were thinking about working hard to advertise our business in Mexico and go from there.
If any of you have suggestions for safe places to live in Mexico or where to start getting clientele? I would appreciate that. I've been researching a few places already. My guess is that if I go live with my parents I would be relocating to Guadalajara. Anyone from Guadalajara?

I would like it to be different. But the reality is that, based on your plans. This is a terrible idea.
If you do not have college degree from an elite school and/or are well connected, your chances to be able to sustain yourself and a family are slim to none.
It is a sad reality but one you have to face.
Now, if you have a college education, a good business background, or an engineering degree with money saved to buy a home in a good neighborhood then I would say yes, you will be better off in Mexico. But if that is not the case, I would say living undocumented in the U.S is still far better.
