The Mexican government is battling an egg shortage and hoarding that have caused prices to spike in a country with the highest per-capita egg consumption on Earth.
A summer epidemic of bird flu in the heart of Mexico's egg industry has doubled the cost of a kilo (2.2 pounds), or about 13 eggs, to more than 40 pesos ($3), a major blow to working- and middle-class consumers in a country that consumes more than 350 eggs per person each year.

HUEVOS! Huevos, you silly gringos!
Plenty of that sort of recruiting going on at the ports already. Never mind their other Monroe-Doctrine-violating intrusions to the continent on the other side of the equator.

out west?
Gonna have to send them some copies of the “More With Less” cookbook.
