Ann Scott · Answer 2

These workers, many of whom leave economically depressed villages in the interior of Mexico, often willing jobs with lower wages than the minimum wage in the United States.

Explanation:

Many Mexican workers receive less than an American minimum wage. This is due to the lack of options in their home country, when workers cannot choose work that pays the minimum required by law. This is because many Mexicans live in situations of extreme poverty in communities that offer few life opportunities. For this reason, many Mexicans agree to go to the United States and enter jobs that offer less than the minimum wage.
