What are your opinions about people living in Mexico but work in the United States?

This is an example if you’re confused on why this is a smart/clever idea.
The minimum wage in California is $15/hr and in Mexico, you make $8 per day but the cost of living is very cheap compared to California. So if you work in California and then go to your home in Mexico, you can do a lot more with your money. You will be rich basically.

Millions do this. Do you see a problem?

LOL my Lyft driver works in California lives in Mexico. Works for 3 months stays over there for 6 months.

I work and live on both sides... been doing that my whole life

Those lousy fucking commuinists.

Yeah I see a problem, if they live in Mexico how can they exploit illegal immigrants?

I know what you are going to say, its basically the same worker but the dynamics are completely different now, if they aren't illegals you can't fucking torture them with threats of deportation and that surely is the whole fucking point of almost owning slaves in the first place.

These people have shit the bed, they are out of control and they must be stopped!

If you pussies hadn't backed down on building the wall this wouldn't be happening.

Well dont tell me I didn't warn you, I was all for funding a kickstarter so that Mexico could build its own wall, that would have been fucking hilarious.

That made me laugh. 😄

That we shouldn't regulate the borders.

Our constitution enshrines the right to freedom of association, and we belive our rights are bestowed upon all men (not just u. s. citizens) by God.

If that is the case, then we've no right to turn them away or stop employers from hiring them.

I don't see why anybody would have a problem with people who do this. If it's legal to do, more power to them.

If you don't believe people should be able to do this, then your problem is with your lawmakers, not the people doing it.

To be fair, American living is among the worst in the world.

It's just a good place to rob... eh... "work", is all.

[captain_voidwalker]

I feel bad for Mexico, Californians ruin every place they go to. Honestly we should wall off califonia instead of Mexico, hell wall off newyork while we are at it

[OddBeMe]

Then mexico would be a country of millionaires. And yet…

[Asker]

That’s an exaggeration

[In_Trance]

So you're saying we should live as a society, unrestricted

[joeldalton]

Fine. Just do it legally.

[Asker]

Well, you don’t see how this could be a problem for both economies? You cause higher standards of living for residents in Mexico and you don’t stimulate the economies you work in.

[joeldalton]

How is that any different from people who live near the border of one state and work in another state?

[MAC1983]

The economy they are working in gets just that: their work. What they do after that is up to them no?
Going to Vegas, having their house in Mexico, throw a quinceñera... That last one was just to see if you were paying attention.

All those are legal and encouraged by the idea of limited but real freedom of movement of work and capital of something called NAFTA. Legal.

Mexico is dangerous. Not smart.
