Well… as I originally stated, in the USA they pay “fair market value” (whether you agree or not).   In Mexico, they let you leave (with nothing).  

 

Seems like a big difference to me, but perhaps I’m nitpicking…

As for "right or wrong", I didn't support the right to take property, I only
stated that the methods are very different between Mexico and the USA.

How are the methods different?  In both a judge declares the property can be taken.  In both armed representatives show up on your doorstep.  Oh, I see the difference: One says "Please leave" and then shoves a gun in your face if you don't.  The other just shoves the gun in your face and forgets to say Please.  Action and result are the same.  Putting a fancy face on the process doesn't change it a bit.
