Like the United States, Mexico is becoming reliant on immigrant labor. Last year, then-director of Mexico's immigration agency, Magdalena Carral, said an increasing number of Central Americans were staying in Mexico, rather than just passing through on their way to the U.S.

She said sectors of the Mexican economy facing labor shortages often use undocumented workers because the legal process for work visas is inefficient.
I posted once before about a Smithsonian Magazine story of a Mexican that made millions in NY and went home (no, not to stay, he has a palatial estate in NJ) to build 5 factories, each employing 500 people. One factory got built and couldn't attract enough employees to operate it, so, of course, the rest were cancelled.
