Wow. People that read the above might fail to realize that Mexico is the third largest U.S. export market, and that the vast majority of U.S. goods exports to Mexico are manufacturing/high tech/capital goods. As for your point, as always, when you utter such inanities as "[w]hat American crap are the Mexicans buying?" you are never speaking of the trade deficit, you simply change the subject to the deficit when I call you on it.
Moreover, the irony of you appearing on a thread that concerns a Mexican customs facility (customs facilities are primarily constructed to handle imports, i.e. U.S. exports to Mexico) is delicious.

If we are selling them large quantities of such high value added items, how come we run a trade deficit with them? Our annual trade deficit with this 3rd world nation is roughly $40 billion
2004
America's trade deficit with Mexico of $3 billion in January was the lowest
since December 2002. The United States' trade gap with Canada widened in
January to $5.2 billion, up from $4.4 billion in December.
