Mexico is an upper middle income country and the majority of Mexicans are middle class people just like the majority of Canadians. Factoring purchasing power, most resort staff make a decent living, especially those who are bilingual. Not to say there aren't pockets of crippling poverty in Mexico and significant problems with income inequality, but I think your portrayal of the country is pretty dated. There's a reason Mexico has its own illegal immigration crisis at the border with Guatemala.
