Wishful thinking....

GM and Ford and others have spent BILLIONS to build factories south of the border, labor costs which are typically 70% of expenditures in most industries are far lower in MX... You aren’t going to repatriate the jobs by simply cutting tax rates on corps... That will encourage repatriation of the earnings, but it won’t move the jobs.

You want those jobs back here, you have to make the cost of producing them in MX higher, and the only way you can do that is by adding tax into the retail cost of the product at a rate higher than the labor and regulatory cost differential.

I agree but tax cuts make outsourcing the next job marginally less attractive. Do the tax cuts and deregulation first.
