Experts: Mexico must do more
This article is about the treatment of Mexicans who are injured at working illegally in the US. It highlights the cross border battle of border life in Mexico. I briefly studied border life of Mexico in an anthropology class last year and was interested to read about this employment struggle in the news. I found the article in The Charlotte Observer (from a google link). It is a short article which highlights the struggles of Mexicans going to the US to seek a better life. It notes that Mexicans believe they will be treated fairly and taken care of while working in the US. Unfortunately this is not the case and injuries are costly and the families have little choice but to deal with it in Mexico. The system is too complex and costly for most Mexicans to file claims against the US. The article highlights the injustices of this area and the need for an improvement in US/Mexican work relations for the safety of its citizens.
