To me, there needs to be trade agreements with Central American countries and other incentives for companies willing to produce some of the low paying junk manufacturing that we rely on China for. This provides jobs for these people keeping them there, while less reliance on China. It also pumps more money in their communities allowing for more of their money to fight the gangs and not our money. I’m all for “bringing manufacturing back”. But the low paying junk manufacturing that we all take advantage of, if relocated in the US with livable wages, would triple the price. The more lucrative manufacturing, make every effort to bring back here.
sounds great in theory
How would it work when
practical realities are considered?
who pays for all the infrastructure needed to support modern manufacturing?
Power, water, roads/rails etc?
China had a plan to become the world's manufacture and committed
YUGE dollars over a generation for infrastructure to support that goal.
who will pay to do that in countries like Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala?
What deep pocket Big Corps are willing to invest in corrupt, unstable dictator govs like Venezuela?
49% of illegal migrants are Mexican. (79% over all are Mex, central/south America and Carribean)
Just in Mexico, how much more manufacturing is needed to limit that amount?
secondary to that, what incentive to stay for those that cross the border when they can make 2 to 3 times as much here in a slaughter house or on a roof than what they make in one of the myriad of Maquiladoras currently in their home country?
Not dogging the
"captain obvious" talking points of "provide opportunity and safety there" .
I'd just like hear details of how we in the USA would/could help facilitate that.
