Mexican labor is cheaper. The factories are already there. The onerous US tax system would be avoided.

Therefore, it will cost much, much more.

I just effing LOVE "free" trade.

Ping on or off let me know.

Ah yes the Free traders will tell us again how this is good for the USA because it means cheaper products even though the tequilla will cost more.

I think that this is a special case. If the tequila is being adulterated, securing the pure agave content might raise the price. I would say it is an issue of real stuff versus imitation.
