In Mexico working in hand jobs is really hard.
But these people are liers, 85% of mexicans cant buy a house?
In Mexico 48% of the people is poor and 18% are extremely poor.
The problem is that the old goverment maked the laws so the workers work a lot and only have a little money.
But since 2000 the first real decomcratic election the laws are getting better but still not perfect.
Im in the medium class and living in mexico city is aswesome.

The wages are so low in Mexico, so to them the American minimum wage is a huge blessing. It's really the corrupt Mexican government's fault that there are illegal immigrants from Mexico.....not to mention the greedy American corporations who hire them for peanuts, and then the sneaky Republican politicians who use "race" and immigration as an issue to get their racist voters to vote for them, but then when they are elected they care for no one but the greedy American corporations who keep on hiring illegals... and it becomes a vicious, never ending cycle.

A high percentage of mexicans only earn enough to have a humble life and its not enough to save money so you wont be able to have your own business, if you get fired you don't receive help of gov, so you must find a job ASAP. when you get old the gov give an small retirement money not enough to survive so you must keep working even if you are old. other mex can even find this jobs, so they give up and look for a life in other ways.

Well one of the problems is huge families resulting in massive population growth. This remains unsustainable so they all move off to the US where immigration is unsustainable.
Simple fact is. Too many people in the world and the 3rd world is adding to that problem at a massive massive rate

the way their economics are, they are either wealthy (so they dont need to come over here) or in poverty. They dont have programs to help them or any type of public housing or section 8 or child support or unemployment and all those things so if they dont have money or food or a place to live, then they are f*****. So they come over here to try and see if they can do better out here. Its either that, or starve pretty much

Yes, it is really hard. I spent the first part of my life there and it is indeed a 3rd world country. The conditions are terrible unless you're the extreme small percentage of the ruling class.
But let me repeat what I always say. Who is at fault for this? The corrupt Mexican government. Not the United States like everyone cries about. They need to solve their own problem.

It's simple economics. America has a great need for labor (so it is driving the immigration wave) & it pays better.
