Dali Dali, why do you keep quoting other members, but don't write anything yourself?

There is an edit key, and you can even delete your whole post if you want.

Until just this moment, I forgot about that.

"KEEP quoting others, but don't' write anything"...

Heaven forbid Mexican workers start to receive a livable wage :o

Perhaps some are afraid they won't be able to exploit illegals if they aren't as eager to come staff your restaurants and mow your lawns.



A jump from current wages to 16 dollars an hour is a BIG one. Talk about government meddling in the free market, jeez. This could lead to fewer auto manufacturing jobs in Mexico.

Are you in the side of advocating BIG government meddling in free markets in the USA, with a "mandated" living wage of $15 bucks an hour, as some politicians are behind?

Shipping auto parts to South America has its costs....far more expensive than a couple hundred miles into the "Detroit" of Northern Mexico for sure.

I don't know if the cost benefits of shipping parts to South America is sufficient enough to overcome a healthy pay raise for Mexican factory workers.
Do you?
I hate to see governments over regulating businesses but I do find it encouraging to see working environments finally being addressed in trade agreements.

For far too many years we have placed all kinds of conditions on American businesses; health and safety, wage standards and environmental concerns and then when they jump through all those hoops we turn around and tell them "your product is too expensive so we are going to go buy it or produce it in another country". So what have we really accomplished? Instead of lowering our standards maybe its time to require others to raise theirs. We are the largest consumer in the world. That gives us the power to accomplish good things.
