Current environment? Either way it’s would be extremely difficult, nigh impossible, without an almost native level fluency. Without professional Spanish I do not think you would survive.
Current environment is problematic for my husband. He has been here 20+ years and since or marriage two years ago, we have tried to get him "legal" but have been assured by two immigration attorneys that there is no path. No, he is not a criminal, he just crossed the border one too many times in his youth making his status unable to be changed based on immigration laws. Because of this and our ages, returning to Mexico for him is the only reasonable path. Also, as our marriage is not one of "green card" seeking, I go where my husband goes. It is really sad, as we own our home free and clear, our children and grandchildren are here. He knows if he returns to Mexico, he will not ever see our children and families here in person again. This is a heartbreaking scenario. So our choices are, hunker down and pray he is not picked up for the rest of our lives or return to Mexico and live free.

Have you considered Canada or the Netherlands if you both speak English? Spain?
He shot that down. He has no interest in going to Europe beyond a vacation. So Mexico, maybe South America but unlikely, or tough it out here.
Can you continue to work in the US but live in Mexico? If your work can be done remotely, that would be ideal. Are you and/or your husband US citizens?
Sadly, our immigration attorney assured us that there is nothing that they can do. He crossed the border one to many times in his youth. Our options are, keep his head low and pray (not a great option currently) or return to Mexico for 10 years and apply and pray he is accepted and that is even unlikely per the attorney. This is a lifetime sentence for us. In ten years he will be 72. And the process would be a few years. So the ultimate reality is 1)Mexico voluntarily or 2)pray, get caught, 2+ months in Louisiana jail, and then Mexico. Hmmm, I am thinking volunteering for Mexico sounds like a better alternative. He wants to stay and hope. (The eternal optimist). I never imagined that adjusting his status after marriage would even be an issue. Living in Mexico was the furthest thing from my mind. Yet, here we are. I am not ready for retirement, mentally or financially. I love my work. He is older and is even less keen on retiring. He would go stir crazy. We just want to live life, enjoy our work, our lives together and be able to see our families. Our home is paid for, we just wanted him to be legal and be able to travel together to see his family in Mexico, maybe a cruise, or Europe eventually. But we have trouble even getting a joint bank account. My state just passed a law that I will be commiting a felony by driving with him to the closest store. (It is across state lines). Something has to give. The most reasonable thing seems to be to move to Mexico. At least I could travel to see my children in the US. We could travel anywhere but the US together. We both would be able to have health coverage without my working forever (the only way he can have coverage in the US is through my job). Thus the hiccup. I need to improve my Spanish to a professional level. Until then, I need work that will be forgiving of my Spanish abilities. I would absolutely love to find something remote with a US company. But frankly, anything that would keep my mind busy and sharp would be good. If in Mexico, the Tamaulipas area is desired.
