The American cars were junk.

Quality improved when the auto makers went to right to work states because there was accountability.

There is no accountability with unions.
Ah, so this is actually a union-bashing thread! And here we thought you were just hating on American job creation.

It's good to see you finesse your own thread when called out on your anti-American views. Well played!

Real Mexican wages there.

With lefties supporting illegal immigration, no matter where in America cars are built, they will be built by Mexicans.

Or don't you follow things to their logical conclusion?

Really?
It's upper management, engineers, and designers that caused the Ford models to be successful enough to warrant this Flat Rock expansion.

Wow! From hating on American jobs to union-bashing to immigrant-bashing! Your thread topic changes quicker than Mitt Romney's official policy positions!

You mean like obama's $50 BILLION DOLLAR bailout to GM unions.....to build Silverado's in Mexico?

MEXICO CITY – General Motors today announced it will invest $691 million for its manufacturing operations in Silao, San Luis Potosi and Toluca to build higher performing, more fuel-efficient powertrains. Mexico President Enrique Peña Nieto and other senior government officials were on hand to mark the importance of the investment to the country, GM and its customers.

"GM is about to reach 78 years in Mexico and we celebrate it with this new investment, which means more employment and development opportunities for the regions of Silao, San Luis Potosi and Toluca; and more advanced technology that will benefit our customers," said Ernesto M. Hernandez, president and managing director of General Motors de Mexico.

"The quality of our employees’ work continues transcending borders, allowing us to continue attracting investment to maintain a strong production of vehicles, engines and transmissions of outstanding quality for our customers around the world."

Speaking of following to the logical conclusion, if the Mexicans here were amnestied and provided a pathway to citizenship, then it would no loner be Mexican labor, would it? It would be American labor then, sí? Following it to its logical conclusion.

Meanwhile, the non-RTW state pays for Job A at $5.00 an hour and increases the wage by 20% to $6 an hour, you tout that as economic failure Get the picture? We're not going to be fooled by percentages that easily
