A middle class family of four lives on about $250 to $300 a month all over Mexico. They rent a two bedroom apartment, maybe have an old car, and look very respectful. Just like in America, they talk about the hardships of raising a family and the high cost of living. It is not an easy life but they find happiness and joy facing life's tough choices living in a country struggling with infrastructure and economic development.
At 1.86 and hour, that's about 300 bucks a month. So, we are either getting the poorest and most illiterate of the bunch or they are just not satisfied with a middle class life. Also, according to Mexican govt., they need 100,000 workers in factories along the border. SO, just where are the starving children? Have you ever seen any pictures? Or, is there another motive?
