I wonder how many of these people would qualify as “mentally challenged” if IQ-tested.
Make no mistake about the typical Mexican laborer. They are a sharp people. I have personally witnessed how they can make an engine run with a bit of baling wire and some creative ingenuity.
It is just that many have grown up poor in conditions where there is no running water and no dependable sewage systems. It doesn’t cross their mind when nature calls where they do it.
I have witnessed several instances in public bathrooms in Mexico where the USED “toilet paper” is thrown in a waste can adjacent to the commode. Why? because they were using old newspapers and such that would not flush.
