What I don't understand about the previous post is why 3 pages of posters ragged about regulation, taxes, politics, but never once brought up the real reason:
MONEY!!! Labor in Mexico is cheap. Very cheap. Ford Motor Company is currently paying LESS than $4 per hour for labor in Mexico. And Carrier probably isn't going to pay that.
The cost of the plant machinery is going to be the same, they likely don't make it in Mexico. It will be imported from the US, Europe, or Asia.
The cost of raw matierals won't change much. Again, likely imported from somewhere else.
The only thing cheaper is labor. 4 bucks an hour, including bennies, cannot be beat. To the multinational bean counters,

I really don't get it. I've seen this before on this forum, nobody wants to acknowledge what seems to be obvious: These corporations are moving labor intensive jobs to places where labor is cheaper. Nothing more. Not politics, not regulations, not even unions. All of Fords employees in Mexico are union. A weak, government controlled union, but a union.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
