Yessir!

Yup. The hard part is, the cartels have the government police and military in their wallets. Those in authority that can't be bought are killed and unimaginable things happen to their families including their kids.

The amount of packaging, especially heavy duty, wire ties, that they secure toys inside the boxes appears to have been designed by sadists, who wanted to torture children and their parents. Kids get incredibly frustated waiting up to 20 minutes, for all the pieces in a toy set, to be liberated, for play.

Even a deal is made I still wouldn't buy an auto built in Mexico. Those auto makers want all thee bail outs and we bailed them out and then they left. US should all stick together and not buy those outfits. Never happen because most really don't care.

No one is forcing anyone to buy things with tariffs on them, as you can buy a Ford of Toyota made in America or grow your own spinach.

What I would like to see is a tariff on foreigners brought in, as the corporations who exploit them, underpay them, so Americans will not work for that, because an American with Social and income taxes gets 35% of their wages taken, while the foreigners are mobile in not paying either, so they make a great deal of money on that uneven playing field. Companies which do not have to pay medical for Mexicans, but have to pay for Americans, do very well in this scheme. Americans though are harmed in this, and you will notice that all of our protectors from Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Donald Trump, never mention one word about this scheme, as the people who back them are the ones making the money and having their interests protected.


Companies don't have to pay Mexican workers' health insurance because Mexico has a national health care system--unlike the US.

They do a bang up job you can bet!

TB is also a social illness that involves deep emotional experiences, alienation from family members, isolation and stigmatization. TB is a public health concern, particularly in developing countries’ most vulnerable populations. In 2010, over 18,000 TB cases were reported in Mexico; 20% were individuals with diabetes and 5.9% were co-infected with HIV/AIDS.

About 100% or a bit less of the transmissions or transmission parts for all auto firms in the US are made or partially made in Mexico.

Truth

My grandmother died of TB in 45, dad was 3 when he lost his mother. That side of the family still carries scars as she contracted TB from her oldest brother who was sent home from the CCC camps with it. She nursed him until his death. Lots of families carried a stigma.

As wy.wolfer stated - US labor is too high - sad thing, but it is - what it is.

Well.....Yeah, why does it take high labor to make a high end guitar/anything?

And Mexico has hundreds less Lawyers per 100,000 people than the US does.

Maybe we should start exporting lawyers to Mexico.

Our economy was so overwhelmingly strong for so many decades that we made bad trade deal after bad trade deal and it didn't matter. None was significant enough to be of any concern. Now all those bad deals have added up and with the new global economy and other strong economies on the world scene, we are dying the death of a thousand cuts. Trump is working to fix that but special interests are working against him at every step. Still, he is winning.

Would part of that national health care, i.e. prescription drugs, be subsidized by us who pay exorbitant prices to make up the cost of their low prices?

And, why are Mexicans coming here then? If nationalized health care is so great and instantly turns any country into a paradise? Why take the risk to come here illegally?

Why leave Cuba?

Why leave Venezuela?

Why would any country adopt national health care for the good of the people, yet completely disregard environmental and occupational safety regulations? I would think KEEPING the populace healthy and injury free would be top priority in a country that adopts national health care.

Why are Americans not flocking to the aforementioned countries to take advantage of such wonderful systems? Did you go to Mexico for your knee surgery?

Have some of you people not been reading about the steel mills, mines and car plants that are being build or are hiring. I think it was more about the taxes and regulations then the labor cost in most cases.
