In Mexico, how are the people who go to America for work viewed?
Are they seen as people who are trying to make money for a better life and approved off? Young people going on an adventure and glamorized? Are they seen as unpatriotic people and shamed? Or is it more pragmatic, like good one more job for someone who stays here? Or one less person to deal with here? Any thoughts?

Well, a derogatory term was designed just for those who go to America looking for work--mojado. It means wet, which basically references how the emerge from the Rio Grande river.

like nothing, like normal people who go to work? what can someone think when they're basically dying of hunger. And no the young people aren't looked at as if they were going to an adventure because they too go to America for the same reasons as the older do, to provide some money for the family.

illegal immigrants who come to America come to better themselves financially. They risk their lives to come and look for a low-wage jobs to feed their children. People criticize them without having any knowledge of how severe their problems are in their own country. Many times it is not even a parent that comes. Sometimes it might be the older siblings who come to work so they can support the rest of their family because their own parents are too old, sick or have died. You want them to come legally but that is near impossible. Getting a working permit is not an easy thing. Unless you have political influences or a bank account with a substantial amount of money then you will be denied a permit. Tell me whats the point of coming here as an illegal if you have that? Anybody in their shoes would do anything to be able to feed or clothe their family. You can critize as much as you want but a parent would rather go through hell and back before they see their children going to sleep hungry and waking up the same way... So in answer to your question. People in their own country do not see them unpatriotic they see their need and wish them luck and hope that this will help their family.

It is so common place I doubt anyone gives it much thought at all. The families are grateful for the help financially.
