Ah if Paco was getting paid $30/hr no company would move to Mexico. It’s about the cheap labor. You can fool yourself and into believing otherwise but that doesn’t make it true.
I didn't say it wasn't.
I merely pointed out that labor is only ONE piece of the pie.
Businesses WILL do whatever it takes to lower production costs.
And the problem is making a slow mess of America.
I’d be in favor of putting an exception into the minimum wage law, if not getting rid of it, and go ahead and let companies that stay in America scrape the low end as low as they think they can make it viable. Paco is some uneducated dude that they trained in Mexico. Why can’t they do that to our urban unemployed here? It would lighten the welfare budget and some of these people would be able to use this as a stepping stone to a more lucrative career.
