VILLA DE REYES, Mexico (AP) -- Word spread quickly through cellphone messages and shouts between co-workers that Ford Motor Co. had canceled its new $1.6 billion car plant at its sprawling 700-acre high desert site in north-central Mexico.
"When I saw it on the phone, (I thought), 'Well, no, it can't be,'" said Higinio Salazar, a security guard who spent the past five months logging traffic into and out of the site and hoped to have steady work for months to come. "It was on orders of Mr. Trump," he said bitterly....

Cry me a river vato
Hey...I want a Mexican - made car shaped like a big sombrero...doesn’t everyone? Maybe if the Citizens of Mexico got rid of their oppressive govt, they might make some progress. In the meantime...tough tacos.
Let me check my give a damn.
I checked...and I don't.
It is disturbing to me in the way some of the MSM is presenting this as such a catastrophe for the entire Mexican nation.
I mean, even if it is, I still don't give a damn, but I just wish the MSM would celebrate a win for us...just once.
AMERICA FIRST
I’m going to go against the tide here and say that yes, I genuinely do feel sorry for the people there at that Mexican plant who were hoping to see jobs and prosperity, only to have it yanked away from them. It’s not their fault, and they’re suffering for it, and I do sympathize with them.
However, I am very happy to see that Donald Trump understands that he will be the president of the United States, and not a “citizen of the world.” His priority is to take care of the American people. It’s too bad that some Mexicans got the short end of this deal, but that’s not Donald Trump’s problem, and it’s not our problem.
When the "You stole the land (CA, NM, etc.) from us" crowd bellyaches in the comments section of some article on the subject, I ask them what the Hell did they do with the land we let them keep?
In 1847 both sides of the border looked the same. One hundred years later, our side was a generator of wealth and prosperity while their generated poverty and violence. They never reply.
I suspect that if we had stayed, the place clear down to Guatemala would be similar to Texas.
Poor America. So far from God and so close to Mexico.
I saw what you did there!
Here in the U.S., we have a phrase we borrowed from another deserving country, Poland: Tough Shitski!
You bet they feel like they own US. They will hate us if we stop feeding them.
Mexico’s “dreams” are not our problem..... get to work and create a real country!
Mexico feels entitled, no doubt about it. Our own so-called “leaders” from Bush 41 onward have played a part in feeding this monster.
Well, then they need to develop some other industries.
That was what NAFTA was supposed to do. Of course, it was never going to, but both countries would be better off if it had.
Way to GO President Trump!
Make America Great Again!
And here I thought all the Mexican “dreamers” were already in the United States...
And here I thought all the Mexican “dreamers” were already in the United States...
Well put!
I think a great deal of them would.
“Now they know how we feel”
That sums it up PERFECTLY!!!
I have traveled a lot in Mexico. But one of the most astounding things I’ve seen were their scaffoldings. The look like something designed by Hieronymous Bosch. They defied physics!
Great comment
