Talk about obnoxious...

All that I will say is this: it must be very frustrating to work in a maquiladora, 12 hours a day, in some cases locked inside of your place of work, for spare change (by American standards), and see that right across the border (often less than 10 minutes away) you would be making 5 or even 10 times as much from the same company, for the same work.

Not really. Its worse actually. None of those business are left here in the US almost all all moved to Mexico.

So your option is really - work in the Mexican factory for crap wages or sneak into America and gut chicken, sweep halls or do low skill construction work for much better pay.

SIDE NOTE: I work at a lot of construction sites Mexicans and Eastern Europeans seem dominate 1 task - applying Dryvit - the exterior finish on most buildings.
