Yes, isn’t this nice....not
Saw this here in the San Diego Union Trib. this morning.

TJ has many Japanese, Korean, etc. factories also the VW has been made in MX.

Gee do you think Americans in San Diego can cross the border and work in these factories....not a chance.

Besides the illegals, thousands cross the border each day to work here in San Diego on green cards.

Lou Dobbs segment on this tonight.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0706/15/ldt.01.html

Communist China is also, well, now exploiting a gapping loophole in that wonderful trade arrangement called NAFTA. Are you ready? One of China’s largest car makers is about to build an assembly plant in Tijuana, Mexico, the purpose? To build and export vehicles into the United States. And it will be duty-free

BILL TUCKER: Well, this should be a big, giant wakeup call, a shot across the bow, because this is a $300 million investment in an assembly plant to build sport utility vehicles and trucks down in Mexico, Lou.

Now Zhongxing will be the first Chinese automaker to build an assembly plant down there. It will be right across the U.S./Mexico border with Tijuana with an annual production of 150,000 vehicles beginning in 2009, roughly 37,000 of those will be exported to the United States.

And as you mentioned, they will come in tariff-free. Trade economist Peter Marichi (ph) at the University of Maryland points out that Mexico is in, “ an excellent export platform for the Chinese because they can - exploit, excuse me, a number of free trade agreements. Under NAFTA, Zhongxing will gain access not only to the U.S. market but to Mexico’s other trade agreement markets, those vehicles can be shipped duty free to Central America, South America and Europe.[snip]

If you don't want Mexicans to have jobs in Mexico, and you don't want them to have jobs in the USA, where do you suggest they find jobs, exactly?
