I have worked in Mexico with some excellent programmers on industrial computer control systems. One of the best young men I worked with on my last job did not make enough to afford his own place so the compay allowed him to sleep on a cot in the office. I would troubleshoot the system with him during the day and he would work into the night and have the changes made by morning.
The U.S. company I worked for managed to get a green card for one of them and move him up north. I have nothing but admiration for these young Mexican technical workers and they are catching up fast. One would hope that they will eventually find opportunities in their own country.
