Auto giant Ford is planning a new assembly plant south of the U.S. border, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, and will sharply increase factory output from Mexico just months after signing a labor deal. 
Citing people familiar with the matter, The Journal reported that Ford will add half a million units of annual capacity from Mexico starting in 2018, which is double the amount it built in 2015. The new assembly complex will be based in An Luis Potosi, and Ford will expand an existing facility near Mexico City, the publication added.

    I'd say Michigan is pretty much a win for Trump now. How many EC votes is that ?

    We Trump people knew this months ago......Donald brings it up in almost every rally.
Nabisco is going there too......no more oreos for us!
But if Trump is President he’s going to slap a 35% tax on every car, truck and part coming in from Mexico.

    I don’t think Trump would have a problem with that.
I think Trump would rather produce in America if he can compete on a level playing field with other American producers.
No Americans can compete with the untariffed Chinese at $2/12 hour day.

    According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Manufacturing labor costs in Mexico are approximately 1/5 of those in the United States. Labor costs sure don't help, but taxes, regulations, product liability and insurance also drive business out of the country.

    So you like the EPA?
High taxes?
Why are you blaming Mexico or Ford?
