Coming from me, a guy who has done a modest amount of construction with inmigrantes: the most skilled, most hardworking guy on the site is probably an old Mexican wizard. There’s a tile guy near me who is here illegally but does all the tile work for mansions because general contractors know he’s the best.

Also, Mexican wood product manufacturing (think furniture, toys, wood items) is extremely good, among the best in the world. My thought is that if the Mexican government got their act together, Mexico would be very advanced in something like semiconductor manufacturing right now.

SK and TW seem good at semiconductors due to a convergence of government interests and a handful ultra dedicated entrepreneurs. I feel like if only Mexico had had that mix the country would look very different now. Also cartels suck.
