I wonder why we can buy labor from China but not Mexico. Is it skill levels, the Mexican government?

The unseen force at work here is the conversion of the labor force from a $10/hr textile economy to a $20/hr auto economy. That is huge.

I really think the reason the auto plants are locating in AL is the quality and work ethic of the population. Detroit has been brainwashed with the union mentality for too long. Capital always seeks it's highest return as a wise old economist once said.

The other biggie is water. Ever look at a AL state map for water resources?
