GM to build engines in Mexico
There are some American Farmers who moved to Mexico.They are allowed to
farm the land and grow crops and sell the crops.They are not allowed to own the land. An article in my January 2011 Laptop snail mail magazine, (News & Trends section) about conflict minerals.The Republic of Congo supplies about 12 percent of the major metals used in electronics worldwide. http://www.laptopmag.com cuhulin |

Actually, you can own land in some areas. The law does not allow you to own land within so many kilometers of a national border, seacost, etc. This is said to be for purposes of national security, IIRC. You can "lease" land almost anywhere on a long term lease, renewable and reassignable. But you never really "own" this land. No problem unless they elect a commie president, like Obrador. In that case, you never know what will happen. |

"Tegger" > wrote in message > > I mean consumer goods. Like food, housing, etc. > Tegger Depends on where you are. In some places you can get a fine house with tennis courts and a pool for maybe MN$2-2.5 million. In US dollars that would be maybe $200,000. I find food and otheritems to be mostly comparable to American prices in the major supermarkets or Walmart, if not cheaper. If you go to the open markets, you can probably get fresh food for a lot less.. There is now a sort of minimum wage system. You have to pay a minimum wage. It is not enormous but it is not slave labor either. On the east side of the country, one is still essentially safe. Border towns and the west coast are less secure, IMO> |

"Tegger" > wrote in message ... > > > I mean consumer goods. Like food, housing, etc. > > > -- > Tegger Another little bit of info.. My wife and I were looking for a nice little house up in the mountains where it is cool. I found a nice place on the road from Mexico DF to Salamanca for some MN$400,000, US$ less than 40,000. Now, my wife speaks little Spanish and is not adventurous. With the cartel activity as serious as it is, I could not consider to move there with her. She is kind and trusting, but you cannot operate in certain areas without a good bit of self protection. We are not moving there anytime soon. Instead looking in the east USA in the Carolinas or Tennessee, or perhaps in Washington Oregon area. |

I've been to all those areas- all very pretty. Sadly, as pretty areas tend to be, also very expensive places. 40k won't buy much. I really like western NC, and wouldn't mind being there before my niece and nephew become teenagers and stop thinking I am wonderful, but the cheapest thing I found within 40 miles of them was a single-wide at the end of a dirt road, for 130k. Damn rich people retire and price us poor folk out of all the nice places.... -- aem sends... |

We are not rich, but have worked our asses off and have saved and rationed our money. I want no more big cities. I dont want any more hot climates. I am sure you understand. |

If I could make > those things > here and be competitive, I would certainly do it. > You are misinformed. The only Mexico products that you sell for cheaper than American made or really really cheaply made crap, just like China cheap. Any American company product made in China or Mexico that is of quality build and material is sold here for as much as that same product was when it was made here. The American public pays the same but America as a whole has lost out on production taxes and labor costs going into the tax pot. > I pay US taxes on my earnings. > So what? America lost out on the real tax collections which is found in production costs. That's where the huge dollars come from, the same dollars that end up paying for services, even when incompetant governments are involved in the spending of it. Spending in America is growth in America. Phuck everyone else. > Soon you may all be worse off, that is true..

If I could go back in time I would go back to kill the first person who ever brought a black slave here. Then I'd kill the idiots who didn't return all freed slaves back to the country they were stolen from. Then I'd kill the idiots who didn't do more to stop illegal immigration, and the ones who let immigrants in whose value system clashed so strongly with our own, who know expect us to pay American citizen money to fix problems in "their country" which evidently they feel isn't America.

I'm not interested in keeping food on Mexican's tables, I'm interested in keeping food and quality living in America...errr maybe to now millions of Americans that should be interested in GETTING BACK quality living.
