| The big difference is the hourly pay rates between Mexico and the USA. They can come here and earn much more per hour and gain more money faster - and when they return that money to Mexico the money will go a long ways.
The only way to solve what some see as a problem is to make the pay rate the same in both countires (minimum wage the same). Ether Mexico would have to raise their minimum wage (or get one?) that is compatible with the USA and enforce it, or else the USA would have to lower our minium wage to that of Mexico. And all products and services would have to adjust to those pay-rate standards accordingly.
Such that no matter which country you are in you get the same paycheck for hours worked. Removing the reason and motivation to want to work elsewhere.
I would even go so far as to suggest that the U.N. or the "world trade oganizations" should establish a international minimum ware standard that all nations must conform too. So that busnesses in every country would pay employees the same as anywhere else on the globe.
That is the only real solution - an even playing field internationally, relative to minimum wages. Yap all you want, but if that is not done we will always have problems because busness will always seek the most cost effective way to operate and employees will always go where they can get paid more money.
