MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Officials in the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon expressed disappointment Wednesday at Carrier Corp.'s announcement it will keep hundreds of jobs in the United States rather than send them south of the border.
Carrier said it had made a deal with President-elect Donald Trump to keep the jobs at its plant in Indiana.
Carrier currently operates one plant in Nuevo Leon and has built but not yet occupied another one there as part of a planned $200 million expansion.
"The implications are very serious, not only for Nuevo Leon, but for Carrier," Sen. Marcela Guerra said.
"The one who is going to suffer from this is the company ... because their products are going to be more expensive," she added.
Still, Guerra said she could understand Trump's fight to save U.S. jobs. "I understand the fight, because it is the same fight all we politicians carry out."
At a news conference, the mayor of Santa Catarina, the Monterrey suburb where the Carrier plant is, said he had not heard from the company.
"We haven't received any formal notification from the company. In fact, we are working normally with them," Mayor Hector Castillo said, adding that Carrier has already constructed the shell of the new factory building.
Monterrey, Santa Catarina and much of Nuevo Leon was gripped four years ago by a wave of drug cartel violence and killings. But the situation has calmed, in part because of greater law enforcement efforts but also because of increased job availabilities at new businesses, such as a new Kia Motors auto plant, that have opened nearby.
"By offering people working conditions that allow them to look after their families' welfare, they have been kept to some extent busy and on the road to progress" and away from illicit activities, said Jaime Garcia, director for economic development of Santa Catarina.
Like any city, Santa Catarina "would be grateful" for Carrier's jobs, Garcia said.
He declined to comment on Trump's effort, saying: "We are respectful but we keep our distance from the president-elect's policies."
Officials in the union for Carrier's Mexican workers could not be reached for comment. Calls to the union's offices went unanswered.
El boo hoo
CBS will start doing profiles of families affected by jobs leaving their country now. In Mexico.
Mexicans might have to get up from their multiple naps throughout the day and work.
It isn’t just about depressing wages.
its also about shifting racial demographics the way certain folks want demographics to shift. And its about votes and thus, fortifying political power bases too.
You know if it didn’t benefit the democrats they would be as against this as they are free speech for conservatives, and gun rights.
That’s okay Mexico. China is going to be weeping next.
I think you’ll be surprised by some things Trump does, that will help the people in your nation too.
Hang in there.
For sure. If Hispanics coming in voted Republican 70-80%, they’d ship them out tomorrow.
America first, Me-hee-co!!

Reagan and Bush talked about a drug war but without a secure border, it is no wonder that it didn’t work very well. Of course, it was not possible for Reagan to call for a wall as he was telling Mr. Gorbachev to tear down his
They’d be requisitioning the catapults personally.
Trumps whoops Hillary, and the entire left cabal, msm, actors, actresses, pundits, girly men, libs distraught.
It is also about funding social security and medicare because it is a ponzi scheme...
There was that and there was also the fact the CIA was running cocaine out of Bill Clinton’s Mena, Arkansas and using the money for black ops. A movie coming out about this next year, btw.
We have a deal with one of the Mexican cartels right now and the drugs coming into this country are under the control of the U.S. government. They want heroin specifically because white folks get hooked on in higher numbers and its a depopulation effort. No movie yet planned about that part!
I’m sure tehy are. Without those jobs, how can tehy make enough money to pay for Trump’s wall?
When Trump talks about a “wall”, and making Mexico pay for it, it might not be a wall in the sense that people think of...bricks and steel.
A ban on remittances to Mexico and E-Verify is the equivalent of the Mexican government waking up with a bloody horses head next to them in bed.
ROFL!! Glad i checked in. :)
Gee that’s too bad.
Now what were we talking about?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... I’m not done yet. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Mexicans might have to get up from their multiple naps throughout the day and work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Right!
I worked hard, scrimped and saved to retire and take all the naps I want.
My son, whose opinion, I usually respect, recently told me that “any nap over 4 hours, really shouldn’t be called a nap”.
Whipper snapper, what does he know anyway?
