Another reason Trump is resonating

Which is funny because most that he's resonating with have probably never purchased one of his Made in Mexico suits.

I'm from Southeast Michigan. Obama didn't start this, and pinning this in one person is dishonest. This is the general policy of the USA for the last 40 years.
Sorry, Trumpet isn't going to stop this. Neither is Bernie. As long as people keep voting strictly on the issues of, god, gays, guns, and abortion. None of those issues have fuck all to do with advancing the United States.

^Facts. This was started back in the Bush senior and Clinton days with NAFTA. Good luck rolling that back.

Yes, those issues are just disractions from the realissues

Nothing new about this. It's been going on for 30 years or more.

Since unskilled Americans started demanding more than they're worth and pricing themselves out of the market.

It's cheaper to bring the factory to Mexico than the Mexicans to the factory.

I can next day air materials down to our mexico factory if there's ever an issue. Same day service if I pay enough. Local companies control the local workforce and do a damn good job when properly instructed. No reason not to move stuff just across the border for dramatic savings. Degree'd (mexican college) engineers for un-fucking-belivealbly-cheap rates.
(I'm not for Mexico mfg, just stating the facts)

Where do you think all the Mexican illegals are working ?

Wanna know something funny? My parents are from Latin America, I was born in Canada. For all intents and purposes, I Am Canadian™. Had a job at a car assembly plant; incredibly well paying, too (I'd moved up, quite a bit).
It shut down because the parent company decided to move operations to Mexico. Suffice it to say, my head hurts every time I think about it.

Happens in every western country in the world, if an unskilled workforce is needed its usually cheaper to move to a poorer country.

I wonder when the Mexicans will move back to escape the 300,000 Muslims brought in by Paul Ryan?
