How about Mexico start their own car company and employ their own people???
How about Ford keep their plants in the US and hire OUR own people???
That way, both wins...

Unfortunately that won’t work. First of all, Mexicans, on their own, couldn’t build a decent washing machine. Secondly, as long as the UAW controls factory wages in the US, the Big Three will not be competitive. I’m not a fan of moving manufacturing off-shore, but I don’t see how the US Manufacturers can compete when even their American-based foreign automakers are in right-to-work states, and owing to the newness of their operations here, they haven’t the legacy costs that are killing Detroit. The Big Three have huge pension costs that only get worse year over year. If they don’t move out of the country, they will eventually go out of business. I don’t know the entire supply chain, but I would imagine that the Mexican faclilties are primarily doing assembly. And FWIW we have a late model Chevrolet Avalanche that was built in Monterrey, Mexico, and it is well built.
