Factually that is correct. In reality, we pay our cleaner 250 pesos ($20 USD) for 5 hours work and the guy that cleans our car 80 pesos ($6.40) for around an hour. Thaat is the going rate - not a great wage by any means but these are people at the lower end of the wage table and they make far in excess of 5 dollars a day. I would guess there's very few Mexicans who make the minimum wage, least I have never met one.

A significant percentage of American expats are living in Mexico illegally, and have done for years with no problems. Did you know there are actually American beggars/hustlers on the streets in downtown Cancun?
