The bs cheap job issue that only the Mexicans will do that sort of work is a capitalist scam followed by Bush and the rest of the party. Any serious discussion among economic thinkers leads to a 5-10% addition in produce. The length of time that increase would be effective is considered short to medium term. The other cheap labor jobs issue is unworthy of serious discussion.

The underlying prob is that the Mexican gov't has 100yrs of inefficient baggage to drag around in it's economic modeling.

The strategic reasoning is that the US is a blow off valve for poor young Mexican males. If they weren't trying to get over here they would be inciting a revolution.

Mexico should be charged $1,000,000 for each legal expat. Mexico should be charged for keeping their gangsters in US prisons. Mexico should put their oil reserves drilling rights up for collateral.
