It has irritated the hell out of me for several years watching so many businesses in my town and surrounding ones hire more folks from south of the border than locals, although I have thought about buying a few rent houses, considering they pay about $50.00 a month rent per person, and there's usually anywhere from 8-35 people per house. But...in the last year I've got to know a couple who own a business that employs mostly Mexicans and now I see why. They are the ones who will show up every day and work without a lot of bitching. Granted, this is a greasy, dirty job and starts out at a pretty low wage. But there aren't a lot of jobs to choose from right now, and a person who has good attendance and does the job, does get a raise after 30 days, 60 days, 6 months, and one year. Their turnover is so high that they do start out low. I have had to look at it from their side lately....still sucks though...
