I visited Aspen for the first time last October - and I was blown away by the real estate prices. If you are going to make the "taking jobs that Americans will not do" argument anywhere, I suppose that Aspen is as good place to start. The peasantry working for legal wages are driving 50-60 miles each way to commute to affordable living.

AND, for the What It is Worth Department, someone needs to find out how much real estate actually is owned by Mexicans who have private homes, private jets and private maids living it up in that town. As for advertising in Mexico. YES. here in Mexico we have had two incidents..
Modestos Architect told him to get 40 workers on a bus, that to set aside their place to go get a job in America, they each had to pay $200 to insure a seat on the bus. At about 6pm, 40 anxious souls full of much pride, goin' to make real dollars, gradually as the Sun sat and it got darker, realized that it was a scheme, and no one would be picking them up.
Another case was an American, took passports, collected money and got phoney visas. They were arrested at the Mexico City airport for producing forged U.S. vistor visas. People taking advantage of people.
