Perhaps Mexico Wants the Wall

Mr. Trump has made some great fanfare over his claims that he will make the President of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, who I might add is quite the dapper don, build a wall and pay for it to keep illegal Mexican immigrants from crossing the border into the U.S.  Well, Enrique may have good reason to build the wall, but it is not to keep Mexicans in Mexico but rather to keep those greengos from Estados Unidos (U.S.) from illegally coming into Mexico.  You see, despite the booming U.S. economy President Obama touts constantly, the reality is that for higher paying manufacturing jobs, the U.S. ain't the place to be.  Mexico, my friends, is where the jobs are! 

According to the linked article, Mexico cannot hire enough workers to fill the new factories being built there and billions are being spent to build even more.  Indeed, they are even offering workers new cowboy boots as an incentive to join the workforce.  And nothing spells desperation like free cowboy boots.

So the kinfolk said "Jeb move away from there." Said "Mexico is the place you ought to be." So they loaded up the F150 diesel and they moved to San Luis.  Pitosi that is.  Swimming holes, cowboy boots!

Okay, I may be exaggerating a tad to suggest U.S. workers will sneak into Mexico to take their jobs.  That is actually not likely because the jobs there are only paying a measly $3.29 an hour, which is why they are moving the jobs there.  I mean why would a U.S. laborer work for only $3.29 an hour there when you can collect government benefits here and sit around talking about how you used to make $24 an hour before Ford or GM closed your local plant.  Heck, that bartending job serving your former co-workers pays more than that.

Point being, however, that Mexico has a labor shortage so the incentive for Mexicans to illegally cross the border is somewhat lessened.   Seems Trump will have to hire his golf course workers elsewhere, assuming others can pass the ideological exam for mowing his greens.
