Mexpat
Mexpat blends Mexico and expat and appears in print by 2007, in a guidebook aimed at young foreigners living in Mexico City. Unusually, it names the person by the country they moved to rather than the one they left. Estimates put around a million United States citizens in Mexico, the largest American population in any other country.
