More importantly, the level of dishonesty brought in by illegal immigrants is going to ruin the economy. In Mexico, if you have the ability to repair things, you can charge TOP peso for doing so. Regardless, individuals who take anything to a repair shop will almost always wait right there for it to be done to make sure their item is not switched for one that is defective or in worse condition than the one they brought in. This just happened to me here and it was an AMERICAN who did it to me. When things like this begin to happen, you can kiss the economy goodbye because all trust is lost. When trust is gone, the economy goes with it.

Mexicans will not buy used things (except vehicles) due to the risk of getting cheated. They almost always buy new and they learn (as much as possible) to fix things themselves. Welcome to the new paradigm.

My cousin lives in Mexico and he says the very same things about the Mexican's culture. They are all out to screw each other. They don't trust each other. Corruption and dishonesty is part of the Mexican culture. Nice neighbors.
