I wonder how many hundreds of American workers lost their jobs when these plants relocated in foreign countries? I also wonder if the workers in Mexico and Asia are paid the same wages and benefits as workers in the United States.
being someone who employed illegal mexicans ( 20 or so ) because americans didn't have enough of a work ethic to come to work every day, i can tell you that the mexicans are EXTREMELY labor organized. By no means is anyone taking advantage of these people. they aren't stupid or hard up for work. If one goes they all go. they are like a union and they will only work for a reasonable compensation. Sure i can pay em $7 compared to 8$ but i don't pay tax on that money or worker's comp. the difference is, if one gets hurt, there are 4 to take his place.
not debating what is stated here as not being your words but.. if anyoen says that mexicans are slave labor, they are dead wrong.
