ACUÑA, Mexico -- Maquiladora factories are fleeing Mexican border towns
for Central America, El Universal reported Thursday.

Some 25 maquiladoras, which produce and assemble product components
for foreign-owned companies for export, have abandoned the city of
Acuña, across from Del Rio, Texas, in the last four years. As rents for
the maquiladoras go up from $15,000 to $35,000 monthly, more companies
are expected to relocate to countries like Nicaragua and El Salvador,
whose governments are offering shipping benefits in exchange for relocation.

Acuña's problem is similar to many other cities in Mexico's
northern states, where local politicians say President Vicente Fox has
not done anything to try to retain the maquiladora jobs.

"The management and directors of these companies say they are going
because Mexico is no longer competitive," said Evaristo Lenin Pérez
Rivera, local coordinator for the Commission on Border Issues. "There is
a lack of incentives, and tax burdens and quotas for social security.
The Treasury Department does not have flexibility, and even with great
distances, it is more convenient to source from China."

Most of these companies left the United States for Mexico, because they
said they couldn't compete, because of the high wages in the United
States, now it costs to much to do business in Mexico. What these
greedy bastards are looking for, is slave labor.

Maybe the people will see that lower wages don't help the ecomomy. The
"Race to the Bottom" of the pay scale has only losers - no winners.
The Chinese have been using prison slave labor for years now. How do
you beat that? Some textile executive is sitting in his office trying
to think of a way to undercut the cost of rice used to feed the prison
labor. We have to stop buying from slave masters before they make us
slaves too.

I don't understand why people like Osama can't see this. He thinks it
is wonderful, that an illegal Mexican immigrant, took a janitorial job
from an American citizen, that paid ten dollars an hour, and now the man
has to work for six dollars an hour. The job the illegal immigrant took
now pays less than it did, and the job the American citizen had to take,
pays forty percent less than the job he had.

So who loses? The business man loses. Everyone loses.

When salaries are reduced to the level, that people like Osama think is
fair, stores will start closing, automobile insurance companies will
start closing, hospitals will start closing, because the working man
will only be able to afford the necessities of life, like food and shelter.

I think you answered your own question Johnny. OBK is just not that
smart. That is why he has the "fuck everybody else" attitude. He is
exactly the worst type of guy to have around in the workplace. He
would never go out of his way for anybody else. He probably walks past
homeless people all the time just to make himself feel more successful.
When one of his neighbors is down on his luck OBK gets off.

The typical businessman is too closed minded to consider the overall impact
wage erosion has, especially when it's not affecting the businessman himself.

The owner of a small office cleaning company couldn't care less that his
employees, all immigrants are making only 6 bucks an hour, while he's charging
14 bucks an hour to his clients. All this businessman knows is his new Humvee
is really cool, the new swimming pool and hot tub are a blast, and he and his
family are really enjoying the new home in the new neighborhood.

Now after this and many other business's employ the same tactic, they all
notice a decrease in sales and services. No new clients opening new businesses.
No new residential customers to pick up. Sales are way down at the 5 & 10 and
even the barbershop isn't cutting hair as often.

As time goes by, you cannot escape the fact that fewer people will be spending
less money. And that cannot be good for any business.

OBK's mentality is limited to the little world he lives in, which consists only
of his job and his own budget.

Ospama is proud to be a scab. He brags about his anti-union line crossing
antics. Behind EVERY scab willing to work for less is another willing to work
for even less than that. The standard of living for everyone is being dragged
down by all who prostitute themselves by crossing the picket line to help
selfish employers ruin good paying jobs. Caterpillar is now laying off many
of those scabs who helped Cat dominate the UAW workers in America. You should
hear them screech about how Cat "tricked" them. Morons.
