If you destroy their auto industry via a trade war they won't be auto workers any longer.
Are we still peddling this crap? Free trade with Mexico and BLAM all the illegals coming here will go back, because they don’t really wanna be here anyway, and they’ll have jobs now in Mexico..yea yea. Take away their auto industry and they’ll flood us..blah blah
The standard of living there is not any better, and these companies along with a severely corrupt Mexican government pocket all the profit from the cheap labor.
Auto workers are not migrant workers. Think about it. Did the unemployed in Detroit head for Salinas Valley to pick lettuce?
