It will lead to some labor and vitalization of their towns with revenue... Mexico wants those factories for the same reason EVERY state in this country wants them... money and jobs... Boeing is automated, and the ones employed earn a fantastic wage... maybe we should move that to Mexico as well... they are coming across the border because their government is a worthless pile of crap.. they know more about taking advantage of people than running a government...
I'm not advocating for offshoring. I'm pointing out that Trump is selling this as the miracle cure for our economy and it's not going to do a whole lot in relation to the size of our problem.
What? You just read the opposite of what I said into that.
I don't think so. You are saying modern factories don't need many workers but Mexico is going to war to keep them there. It's like people who say walls don't work but are fighting tooth and nail to stop it.

I don't want the walls as there are far easier and cheaper solutions.

You do realize the jobs here in the "rust belt" don't all comprise of assembly line factory jobs don't you ? There are plenty of highly skilled, highly educated, workers that would love to see things come back stateside. You have no clue how many skilled people are required in manufacturing. Yet the low paying assembly line jobs are the only ones the left seems to focus on.
Skilled worker can mean different things. If the skill doesn't involve working with the modern robotics it's not likely to help that individual though they're more likely than some to have the ability to train up for it.
The unskilled workers get so much attention because they vastly outnumber skilled workers. And many of them have zero chance of going beyond that and when they're unemployed they are a serious burden on taxpayers and the criminal justice system.

You do know Mexico is a country in which a very tiny percentage of the population has virtually everything and the rest virtually nothing. Those who run the country are going to protect their profitable income sources. NAFTA hasn't really benefited the average Mexican too much.

Which is an excellent reason for scrapping it. Much like here, these agreements are written to benefit the few.
