<p>A Texas real estate company is advertising land along the southern border to Mexican citizens, encouraging them to own “American land,” a marketing strategy that appears to be tailored to foreign nationals and illegal aliens.</p>
<p>The Cayetano Development sells land in the Rio Grande Valley along the southern border and in different areas throughout Texas, encouraging buyers to “own a piece of American land.”</p>
<p>“Within a few weeks you could literally own a piece of American land,” Cayetano <a href="https://www.cayetanodevelopment.com/seller-financing-program">tells prospective</a> buyers, adding that it accepts identification from the Mexican government.</p>
<p>The company’s “valid ID” list includes drivers’ licenses, passports, and most notably, a “tarjeta consular,” a Mexican consulate card issued to Mexican citizens living outside of their home country.</p>
<p>The strategy appears to mimic that of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inside-colony-ridge-the-fastest-growing-development-in-the-u-s-is-a-magnet-for-illegal-immigrants">Colony Ridge</a>, the 34,000-acre development that sells land to illegal aliens north of Houston and was recently the subject of immigration enforcement raids, which resulted in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nearly-100-illegals-captured-in-colony-ridge-deportation-raids">the capture</a> of nearly 120 illegal aliens.</p>
<p>Cayetano, which sells land outside Austin, Fort Worth, and Laredo, appears to be a member of the Texas Land Developers Association (TLDA), a lobbying organization that advocates for seller-financed land development companies. Seller-finance developments like Colony Ridge and Cayetano don’t rely on traditional mortgages from banks, allowing them to charge higher interest rates and avoid the need for documentation like social security numbers.</p>
<p>John Mays, the <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mays-56855127">Vice President</a> of Cayetano, was one of the recipients of a leaked email <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/texas-developer-admits-colony-ridge-relies-on-subprime-lending-to-non-citizen-buyers">uncovered</a> by The Daily Wire, in which the former head of the TLDA admitted that the Colony Ridge business model was built on selling American land to foreign buyers who have not established their creditworthiness.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">EXCLUSIVE: A Texas land developer admitted that the Colony Ridge business model relies on selling land to unqualified foreign buyers:</p>
<p>&#8220;We will not be able to sell our developments if each of our buyers have to have SS#’s.&#8221;</p>
<p>I obtained his stunning admissions🧵 <a href="https://t.co/f2nWFuWA5r">pic.twitter.com/f2nWFuWA5r</a></p>
<p>— Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸 (@SpencerLndqst) <a href="https://twitter.com/SpencerLndqst/status/1890063065489735954?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 13, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;We will not be able to sell our developments if each of our buyers have to have SS#’s and we have to qualify each buyer as to the buyer’s ability to repay,” Scot Campbell, the former head of the Texas Land Developers Association, admitted in the email.</p>
<p>“It will kill our industry and will make our future resale of foreclosed lots worth a lot less … because we will all be fighting over a few qualified buyers,” he added.</p>
<p>Cayetano’s CEO, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyndel-bennett-2b1854151">Kyndel Bennett</a>, is on the <a href="https://texaslanddevelopers.org/about-us/">board of directors</a> of the TLDA alongside Campbell. Bennett <a href="https://www.transparencyusa.org/tx/contributor/kyndel-bennett/?cycle=2015-to-now">donated</a> more than $20,000 to the Texas Land Developers Association political action committee. He also gave $1,000 to State Representative Ryan Guillen, a Republican who represents House District 31 and <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2021/11/15/ryan-guillen-texas-house-switch-party/">left the Democratic Party</a> in 2021. Guillen’s district stretches from the southern border to Floresville, just southeast of San Antonio.</p>
<p>Cayetano offers land throughout Texas, including on the southern border in the Rio Grande Valley, with social media posts <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CayetanoRGVTX/videos/1151973043241375/">advertising</a> that the lots are seller-financed and that buyers do not need to go through a bank. The lots are sold for less than $1,000 down with interest rates ranging from 9.9% to <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@cayetanodevelopment/video/7478845884323745055">as high as 11.9%</a> on a 30-year repayment plan. Buyers <a href="https://www.cayetanodevelopment.com/seller-financing-program">do not need to pass</a> a credit check.</p>
<p>Just like Colony Ridge, Cayetano tells potential buyers to reach out via WhatsApp, which is <a href="https://esimradar.com/whatsapp-internationally/#:~:text=WhatsApp%20operates%20using%20an%20internet,who%20need%20to%20communicate%20internationally.">known as</a> “a go-to app for millions of people who need to communicate internationally.”</p>
<p>Cayetano’s offerings include lots outside of Laredo on the southern border, as well as land just outside of McAllen, which appears to be nestled between &#8220;<a href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/colonias">colonias</a>,&#8221; areas that the Texas Attorney General’s Office describes as “substandard housing developments, often found along the Texas-Mexico border, where residents lack basic services such as clean drinking water and access to adequate sewage treatment.”</p>
<p>The company, which is headquartered in Austin, has <a href="https://www.cayetanodevelopment.com/find-your-lot">over 2,300 lots</a> across the state that have either previously been sold or are currently for sale, with a new development underway outside of Dallas.</p>
<p>Cayetano did not respond to a request for comment.</p>
