If BMW is setting up an assembly plant in mexico.....

I would suggest that SC start looking for a buyer for their plant, if it’s an assembly plant also.

Low wage mexican labor and virtually no red tape overhead trumps any US based facility.

Greer is adjacent to Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP), which serves Greenville, Spartanburg, and the Upstate. Greer is also the site of the only BMW manufacturing facility in North America. According to a June 2005 article in The Greenville News, BMW’s Greer plant employs about 4,600 workers, and has attracted dozens of suppliers in South Carolina, providing jobs for more than 12,000 workers.

If they left, it would kill our area.

Maybe U.S. unemployed can sneak across the border to Mexico and work in their factories.
