"Don
Please take a moment to remind yourself that the Chevrolet Sonic is assembled her in Michigan at the Orion plant."
When did they move the Sonic back to the USA? When we looked at them (at the time they were called Chevy Aveo) they were built in South Korea and AC was a dealer installed option! :E So we moved on.
To the Anti Mexican crowed I say this. The only reason Mexican's are coming here illegally is because there are no jobs for them in their Country. Dad of Four Girls you said "There are many thousands of vehicles built within 300 miles of the Motor City. There is Ford, GM, and Chrysler plants in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Ontario (Canada). This area of North America has significant impact by these OEMs. They pay employees, who pay taxes, buy goods, and volunteer. This effects the communities." Don't you think this would apply to Mexico also? I do not fault any Mexican for wanting to come here. They are no different then you or I, they want a better life for their children! You want that for your daughters right? Well don't you think they want the same thing?
Until there are jobs in Mexico this will keep happening. I'm not saying we should ship all of our jobs to Mexico. I'm also not saying there is not Corruption in Mexico, there is.
But just like here in the States and I bet in Canada, when you have a huge disparity of wealth, the have not's are going to want a little something also. People can close their eyes and pretend there is not a problem or we can work together to fix the problem. You know "you can gave a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Or you can teach a man to fish and he can feed his family."
There are plenty of ways we can fix the problem, that do not require sending our jobs to Mexico. But until the corruption is addressed (in all three Countries) things are only going to get worse.
