Mexico extends at least this far North. And I know what you mean by having someone work your ass off. The last time I had my house shingled, thanks to State Farm Insurance by the way, the crew was Mexican. Nice, polite, friendly, and hard working as all hell. It must have been over 110 up on the roof and they worked dawn to dark.
A lot of my friends and neighbors are Mexican. It would be a much sadder place to live if they all went away.
This is, after all, North America, not the USA and them other folks North and South. People that don't get that are just going to have a harder and harder time.
On a side note, I was very disappointed when a friend from Canada told me they are not required to say "eh" at the end of each sentence. How are we going to tell that they are foreigners?
