it's hell on the environment as well. I remember reading about businesses in Texas that uprooted and moved 20-30 miles south, just beyond the Mexican border. There they could pollute to their hearts' content. The pollution still affected their original communities since they were so close, but it was A-OK because they were technically in Mexico. So here are these workers in the south who have lost their jobs, and as a final kick in the face, their former employers are now polluting the hell out of their environment.

Mexico has environmental laws but no method for enforcing them, IIRC.
