Criminal cartels know how to run a country. The fucking trains run on time or your head gets cut off with a pocket knife.

Maybe cheaper, I would contest the more skilled. The chinese floor workers I dealt with at a GE facility there were MUCH more competent than the mexican ones I deal with at the rolls royce facility in south central Mexico. The mexicans I constantly had to correct small things and with the chinese I literally pointed at the drawing, gave very basic instruction and said make it happen. 6-8 hour later, the subject was assembled and ready for testing. Much quicker than the much smaller job that was in mexico.

Of course this is anecdotal, but overall I just dont see it being even slightly competitive skill wise. Chinese just seemed to "get it" much faster and easier than the mexican workers of equal billet.

Average manufacturing job in Mexico pays about $2.75 an hour. Chinese get on average $3.90, but it varies more.

They come to the U.S. and gain skills, get deported back to Mexico, taking the skills with them.

Mexican vs Chinese

In a fight, I’ll take Pedro

Rebuilding engines, also Pedro

Leathercraft, probably Pedro

Cheap plastic bullshit, Wong wins hands down

In a cookoff, I’ll call it a draw
