Thanks to investments by most of the major producers, Mexico has developed a high quality, low-cost manufacturing base. Assembly-line technology is now sophisticated enough to let the nation expand into aerospace, with Bombardier Inc., Safran SA and Honeywell International Inc. investing in operations in recent months.

If Mexico manufacturing is that good, why didn't Toyota et al locate their plants there instead of the US? Were the freebies given by the states like Alabama that good?

Auto companies contribute to a government-run health system and mandated individual retirement accounts for each worker, which keep health and pension-benefit costs low compared with the U.S., Ornelas said.

Now that's stupid......just ask inode. Gov't run health systems are more expensive and less efficient. Besides, America's health system is best in the world. Oh wait....then why is the US's life expectancy only slightly longer than Mexico's?
