The company I work for opened a new plant in Tijuana shortly after Mexico signed an agreement for Central American "refugees" to wait for their hearings south of the border.

My corporate report tells me that staffing is still in short supply even though Central Americans can get a job with the equivalent of an 8th grade education and a desire to work. Mexico will give them their equivalent of a green card since there are not enough locals to staff the jobs in Tijuana even with decent pay and benefits by Mexican standards.

Most of them still won't touch the jobs. Now, why do you suppose that is?

Because they are still hoping for the gate to open for free stuff in America?

“Most of them still won’t touch the jobs(in Tijuana). Now, why do you suppose that is?”

I’m guessing local crime making it no place to live or raise kids, prejudice and shakedowns of immigrants by corrupt officials, and (temporarily) COVID fears. Those with asylum hearings in the US no doubt much prefer the dream of America, with its shining towers, and all kinds of free stuff.

If President Trump is re-elected and COVID vaccination becomes widespread, that drought of applicants will likely resolve next year, if it becomes a simple choice between Tijuana and the home country, without a realistic third option on Easy Street, USA.
