Abstract
This article based on an ethnographic study explores the economic strategies of U.S. and Canadian migrants to Merida (Mexico), for whom geographical mobility also means social mobility. Real estate deals involving foreign buyers and sellers add up to everyday expenses, resulting in the transfer of millions of US dollars from North to South America. The development of this type of migration – minor but economically important – has already prompted the governments of Mexico, the United States, Canada – and even Panama – to introduce new, increasingly sophisticated regulations defining the rights and status of migrants depending on their contribution to the local economy. These regulations also allow taxing mobile citizens and determine access to public services in the countries of origin as well as in the host countries. They aim at regulating the circulation of goods and services in the region and reflect both the competition between the states resulting from these mobility patterns and the willingness of the governments of North America to cooperate to limit capital flight and tax evasion.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
