Not embarking into a bitter debate of why is Mexico beneficial to the US, as the Mexican-American relationship is a very complex one. However, some highlights of such relationship would be:
Mexico is one of the few countries that still buy products "Made in the USA".
Mexico provides for cheap labor in the form of illegal immigrants. This might not be that good, but if the US government tolerates them, it probably means it is good for corporations and industries that depend on them.
Most of Mexican oil, silver and other mineral resources are imported by the US industries.
Many Americans love to travel to Mexico, as it is a cheap tourist destination.
Many Americans, specially retirees, spend their latter years living in Mexico, because of cheaper real state prices.
