Actually Miles, he said $5 a DAY, not per hour.  I will agree with you
that 
the Mexican economy has improved much in the past years but much like
here, 
most of the money goes to the few and the rest have to scrape to get by. 
If 
conditions are as good as you say, there simply would not be the number of

people trying to get here from there.
