Honestly, I’ve had the view the USA should have been investing heavily in central/south America. We are shipping our jobs out of this country, why not send them south and provide a better living for those countries and stem the flow of illegals?
China and India have a larger tax base to soak for our politicians pocketbooks.
I brought this up a long time ago on here. Closer. Less logistics i getting stuff up here. No more Pacific Ocean to cross. And China is starved.
A response was: it has been tried before. The folks in countries south of the border won’t work and the politicians steal everything.
