The rest of the world is starting to consume more goods,so our companies will shift to producing goods for them ,not us.

Easy there turbo.. I don't anyone singling out Mexicans.. I think the same complaints would happen no matter where, outside the US, they moved the factory.

Also, GM has factories outside the US but only a percentage of them, not all.

Let's not make this a "race" thing or the padlock will come flying out.
