Your subject line certainly implies that.

Then you need to write more accurate subject lines. Maybe something like:
"GM to build MORE engines in Mexico".

Products made cheap in Mexico are sold here for the same price range it was
sold at before being made cheaply in Mexico. Just look at the Ford Fiesta
American edition. Made in Mexico and more expensive than a Honda Civic which
gives more value for the dollar than the less powerful, smaller, Fiesta.

You're misinformed. The only reason why American companies produce in Mexico
is so that the owners can put more profit in their pockets rather than
putting it in the pockets of American workers and in the tax pot of American
Taxpayers. It is all about greed, the exact same greed that is killing the
American economy. Americans are paid well so they can spend well, and
spending well is what keeps us all living in comfort. Soon we will all be
poor like the Mexicans who work for crap.

What you apparently don't realize is that he also, along with a very large
vocal contingent of those found on forums, is almost surely a right-wing
conservative fascist who cares nothing at all about anyone other than
himself and blames the working class, and their advocates, for every ill.

No, I am not misinformed..I take products made in Mexico because that is the
only way I can be competitive in the world market... If I could make those
things
here and be competitive, I would certainly do it.

I pay US taxes on my earnings.

Soon you may all be worse off, that is true.. The reason is that the US
government
has sold your future to the devil, we cannot pay our indebtness any longer,
we are
out of money, and the US dollar is starting its fall from first reserve
currency in the
world to "undesirable".

Really, I am a conservative middle of the roader.. You must be a leftist.
I dont blame the "working class".. I blame the government which has
been incompetent and irresponsible for decades, and at whose feet we
can lay a lot of the ills of our society.

So what is it you want the government to do?

He is right you are contributing to the export of American jobs
Do you want the government to stop you from doing that?

These are NOT American jobs. They are jobs, and this is international
commerce.
I dont owe ANYBODY a job.

Are prices of goods the same in Mexico as they are in the US?

That's right and
Nobody owes you a living or a sound economy either.

You are the one whining about
indebtedness and the decline of the US currency.
The number one reason for that is that for the last 30 years
US imports have far exceeded US exports.
That isn't the government's fault.
That is your fault.

Essentially, yes. For some years one of the prime materials was
a bit cheaper because it was being manufactured within Mexico and
there was a subsidy to incentivate market growth.. That no longer
exists.
