I had a manufacturing plant in Baja California (Mexico). We subcontracted out work through a vendor. I found out that the worker was only getting 200 pesos a week. A little mental arithmetic tells me that is about $20 USD per week.

So if two of these illegal blokes share a $15/hour job, that comes out to something like $300/week each, or 15x more than the Mexican inspectors would expect to make.

What would you do if you could increase your salary 15x and not watch your family go hungry?
