My translation:

The owners of Charmex a maquiladora in Mexicali Baja California was caught by its employees moving it machine back to the US in the middle of the night.

The company had been in Mexical for 17 years and had been losing money and planned to re-open in the US.

The article uses the verb fuga which means escape or getaway, and not in a nice way.

When a compnay closes in Mexico the are reqiured by law to pay a severance and this is what Charmex is trying to avoid.

Better get the whole story before rushing to judgment.

Is the Mexican press more reliable than our own?

well...it's not right....but hey....they would do it to us and we've given them enough money anyway..from all the illegals sending our money home to Mexico.

There may be a lot of companies doing the same with the collapse of Mexico and them finding it may be a bit safer to be in the US.

Can we really blame them? Every single day we are pointing out how businesses are taxed or regulated out of existence by Big Brother.

They agreed to it, send the management down to spend some time in a Mexican jail.

Based solely on the fact that our own press is a total joke, I would have to say yes.

Good, get the heck out of that failed country while you can. IMO just leave the machines and burn the damn factory, I see no reason to honor any contracts with the corrupt Mexicans, they don’t honor ours for extradiction nor our borders.

“Good, get the heck out of that failed country while you can. IMO just leave the machines and burn the damn factory, I see no reason to honor any contracts with the corrupt Mexicans, they don’t honor ours for extradiction nor our borders.”

These companies moved to Mexico with the promise of being the reason illegal immigration would stop and to ‘help’ the Mexican people. None of them give one whit about the Mexican people, or us, for that matter.

I do imagine they are concerned for their own safety, which they should be.
