There is one reason they risk their lives and pay a fortune to coyotes to go to the USA, one reason they leave their beautiful country and their families which is so very dear to them is because of the American wages. The average worker is making about $300 USD equivalent, A MONTH, if that. Yes, prices are lower in Mexico but not that much lower. They go for the money they can make, even though illegals have to always live scared they will deporteded, making less money than others, having no benefits, regardless of what you are told. They do t live in luxury in the USA, they share homes with as many as possible and send al their money back to Mexico so their children can have shoes, food, a roof and buy their school uniforms.
