Minimum wage increases cause inflation and outsourcing!
Corporations are people, my friend.

"Relocating our operations to Monterrey will allow us to maintain high levels of product quality....."
LOL! Mexican work quality is sh*t. The company I work for is in the process of pulling that stunt, and the amount of rework we have to do here from half-assed fabrication is astonishing. But they're working on sending more and more south. From all I've seen, whether it's construction here, or outsourced manufacturing there, the Mexicans have good work ethic but piss-poor quality. What is the old saying? "Good, fast, and cheap - pick any two"? With what I'm seeing from our Mexican division, you can get the two - but you have to eliminate "good".

Nope Mexico has strict laws against illegal immigration. And I hear they they are building a wall - a tall one.

Sure, one that will keep us out, but their people will be allowed to pass right through on their way north.

This topic turning into "illegals are ruining our country" within a couple posts is unreal. Keeping eating the ******** you're spoonfed. Ya'll clearly like the taste.
You forgot - Irrelevant quotes pass for wisdom.
These workers largely make well beyond minimum wage with benefit packages, so, it seems you are making the case for those who want to keep wages down.
The obvious problem is that in Mexico the wages and other production costs are low so the products - even if replacements due to QA problems are more common and including transportation back to the US for installation - can be marketed more cheaply if made there.
And yes, the boss CEO did make a lot of money, of course, he is running a large company regardless of where the manufacturing plants are located. That seems to be a matter between the board and the stockholders. The stuff we can control - are clearly labeling where products are made (which doesn't affect most buyers but some), ensuring taxes are low and any reinvestment in the plants is not taxed, incentives to remain, etc. Did Indianapolis try to negotiate with Carrier to make the city remain a profitable place to manufacture?
This is not my area of expertise but I am not sure why Americans expect companies to remain here if the result is they cannot compete on the open market with their finished products. If you are saying that the difference is because of the senior executives' salary then you are wrong. If you are saying the that boards should be held more accountable by stockholders, well there I agree but often stockholders view the increased profitability as a good result. The workers may have a different view but they also rarely have any responsibility for ensuring the company can still compete in a worldwide market.
