Answer:

Wages in US would decrease

Wages in Mexico would increase

Step-by-step explanation:

The increase in the supply of labour in the US while demand remains unchanged would lead to an excess of supply over demand. This would cause equilibrium wage to fall and quantity to rise.

While in the US, the supply of labour would fall. This would increase wage.
