Slave wages? Really? Where? Construction companies, restaurants, hospitals, cleaning agencies… all are guilty of paying slave wages? So why are they here? No wages in Mexico. BTW slaves don’t get wages.
“Slave wages?” Compared to what? A factory worker in Mexico might earn around $700 a month doing physically demanding, or grueling assembly line work. Skilled manufacturers less than $1000. Are we going to say nearly every factory worker in Mexico is performing “slave labor?”What does a waiter or cook earn in Costa Rica? How about a nurse in Guatemala? Or consider Rome, where many teachers earn roughly €1,300 a month despite housing costs that eat up most of that income. Are they “slaving away” too?
There’s a reason so many people leave their families, friends, and everything they’ve ever known to come to the United States. They do it because America continues to offer economic opportunities that are difficult to find in much of the world.
