For centuries, Aguascalientes has been known for its thermal springs in Mexico’s central high plains desert, adding industries such as food processing, railroad repair and textile factories over the years. Recently it’s shifted into high gear and is giving chase to Detroit for the title of Motor City.

Thank you, Bill Clinton.


Of course, the left loves him for helping to gut the middle class, which is one of the objectives of the left.

Wait a minute... aren't you cons always telling unemployed or underpaid people to just get over it, stop blaming others, and find another job?

So how is it Bill Clinton's fault that some former autoworkers are now working at Wal*Mart for $8/hour? It's their own fault. They should just try harder to find better jobs.

Right?

And besides, more jobs in Mexico = fewer Mexicans trying to come north. Isn't that a good thing?

Well I do blame Bill Clinton for signing a bill the Republicans created. Trusting the Republicans was his first mistake.

Because the right's beloved corporations have always shied away from making products wherever they can find cheap labor and boost the bottom line, eh?

Typically hypocritical RW whine, next time bring some cheese too.

it could happen. it certainly forgoes the notion that detroit is going to make a comeback.
to do that u must have work ethic and affordable labor. detroit could well take some mentoring from atlanta.

It doesn't work that way. After the Clintons sent millions of jobs there, more millions began pouring over the border.

The Clintons didn't send jobs there, the corporations feasting on cheap labor sent jobs there.

And had Clinton been a Republican the righties would be praising him for giving corporations access to that cheap labor.
