French companies, building turbines in the U.S., using illegal Mexican alien labor. What interesting times we live in.

Building turbines requires the precision of a fine Swiss watch in a 100 ton package. Sorry, the folks who build them are very highly paid skilled craftsmen, not illiterate minimum wage wet backs.

If someone wants to invest the billions of dollars necessary to establish such a factory in the US, and hire Americans to do the job, I welcome them with open arms.

Frankly, the knee jerk stuff I see here opposing foreign investment in the US is mystifying.

I am sure every single person working in the French factory will be a legal resident. /sarcasm

Hi Ditto, re your:"If someone wants to invest the billions of dollars necessary to establish such a factory in the US, and hire Americans to do the job, I welcome them with open arms.

While I don't see much reason to oppose this kind of foreign investment and am pleased someone wants to employ Americans, comparatively it's less desirable than homegrown companies because of the 1.)offshore drain of profits, 2.)likely foreign sourcing of component materials, 3.)possible compromising of our economically strategic technology 4.) further inordinate influence by foreign interests upon state and federal governments etc. here ...
