Is that why the U.S. auto workers lost their jobs and the factories moved to Mexico?

So if Mexicans quit there jobs on a whim, don't show up, call in sick, make petty wages is that why the quality of American cars made in Mexico has gone up?

A lot of Mexicans and Central Americans have trained in the US.
My brother has a factory in So. Calif. with a lot of foreign nationals working there.
The "mexicans" are good workers - they show up for work, on time, every day without fail.

Like it or not, these are a big portion of the new American workers. And many have returned to their homeland either to retire, start their own businesses or find work there.

The most valuable asset that a company has is it's workers.
