I’m sure much of this was calculated in and a bone to Mexico. There is no reason not to pay Mexican line workers at least $16 an hour. This will be a feather in the cap of the Mexican President politically, again, I’m sure there’s a trade off somewhere else, like perhaps putting 20,000 troops on the border to almost eliminate illegal crossings. Not to mention the workers will help local economies so not as many people will want to leave. None of these outcomes are big surprises, they have been calculated into this.
Helping the Mexican economy will go a long way towards solving our illegal problem. Why would we want a turd-world cesspool on our Southern border?
