What if we added Mexican states to the US and harnessed that lower cost labour to be in direct competition with China's lower costs?

Good luck - because you simply cannot compete with Chinese prison and slave labor.

It's amazing how many of these "free trade" arguments sound like the arguments made by slaveowners prior to the Civil War. Both the antebellum South, and multinational corporations today, owe their profits to *someone else being enslaved.*
