.........Was it NOT Henry Ford who said he wanted to PAY his workers well so that THEY could afford to buy a new Ford? If the US is helping Mexico and the Mexican worker, then maybe we could ask them NICELY to please control the illegal border crossings.
.........Funny how Japan and Toyota can make vehicles profitably here IN the US of A, but we CAN'T. Might have something to do with profit and GREED.

We are not a self sufficient isolated island nation. The market place is global. There may be some technologies that we can protect but for the most part, manufacturing things like bricks, TV's, washing machines, automobiles can be globally produced and marketed. So, if you are in one of those markets, you have to have a competitive price. Price is a function of being competitive in quality and price. Price is a function of labor, overhead, material and profit. If you let anyone of those things to expand, you have to decrease others to remain viable. Labor goes up, automate or outsource. If you don't, you will go out of business.
