ok, times up. the largest (private) employer in mexico is none other than.........general motors. as of a couple years ago. of course other countries are catching on to "free trade"---a.k.a. practically "free labor" and practically "free from environmental restrictions" game in mexico. so maybe VW has surpassed GM by now. the point is, countries like japan are not stupid. NAFTA is not just an advantage for north american countries. all japan has to do is locate television plants in mexico and ship them north. japan's investment in mexico increased over 1000% the year after NAFTA went into effect. you would think that wih all these jobs being located in tijuana that there would be no need to hop the fence and come to cali. of course you can come to cali and get free social services along with your undercover job. and of course you don't have to pay taxes here.

what a hoot!
