I didn't realize President Obama was CEO, CFO or on the board of Carrier or if he had any say so in the dealings of American corporations. But thanks regardless, for the right wing nut website you posted.

No - contrary to how it may appear, the Mexicans in the US are the ones who can't get jobs in Mexico - mainly poor and under educated.
