Hi Davis in SC,

From traveling to Mexico many times I can tell you that there are plenty of people left in the major cities to work in the factories. Now, in the rural small towns it's a different story. I've been in some small towns in the state of Michoacan and all you see is women and elderly people and of course small children. Most working age males are in the U.S working.

A frequently asked question: If Mexicans here only earn minimum wages, how can they send $15 billion to Mexico every year? Well, when you figure that there are probably about 20 million people sending money to families in Mexico, that would amount to $750. each, if my figuring is correct. Then when you figure most Mexican males living in the states, live with several others in apartments, rent is cheap. Their eating habits usually consist of beans, tortillas, rice, cheaper cuts of meat and of course beer.
When most Mexicans come here it is for the purpose of helping their poor families back home. But, this thinking doesn't always last for long. They soon learn the American way of life and the temptations overwhelm them. By that time younger brothers have made their way to the U.S. to keep the dollars flowing back to Mexico.
Don't worry Mexico and Central America have plenty of hands to send here for those so called jobs Americans won't do, and soon to be, jobs that Americans did, when they paid a decent wage.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
