Yeah that’s probably for the best. Things ain’t going so well up here anyway.
It's a good thing for Mexico. They get labor and productivity. Not a great thing for the US.
Arguably it is very much a good thing for the us. It means we would have to strengthen trade relations for American industry to stay viable. I'm doing so they would have to back off the immigrant scurge bullshit. Granted that will likely only happen after soft civil war but still.
You're misinformed. Things are worse in Mexico, unless you have dollars which have a great exchange rate. So working online for dollars and living in Mexico is great, but making pesos is not as good.
I'll contend all day long that the 'Texas Miracle (TM)' is largely built on the backs of underpaid Latin/Mexican labor. (I would say totally, but that oil $$$ does its work too.) Republicans shitting all over immigration does, in fact, rob their localities of economic gains. I hope migrants in Mexico are treated more humanely than the United States has done. Hell, that's still quite the low bar.
I wouldn't count on it. We have incredibly comprehensible laws that more often than not go unenforced. But then again, we don't really have rampant racism like on the states, and tend to be largely welcoming of immigrants, so there's that.
After the mistreatment they often receive from some Americans, I can’t say I blame them.
well yeah. migrants go to america to work and build their shit and are treated like garbage.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but they are not treated so great in Mexico either.
Considering the whole cartel problem, that's quite a warning sign
