Ford Should Ask Mexico For A Handout Dave Gibson Over the last few years, Ford Motor Co. has invested a great deal of money in Mexico. In stark contrast, they have been laying-off workers and closing factories in the United States. Despite the obvious lack of loyalty Ford has displayed in regards to American workers, that company is now asking Congress to extend them a $9 billion line of credit, as well as an extra $5 billion from a Department of Energy program which was supposed to be used as an incentive for U.S. manufacturers to produce more fuel efficient cars. In 2006, Ford announced that it would close several plants across the country by 2008. Ford actually plans to lay-off 34,000 workers by 2012. Shortly after that depressing announcement was made, The Detroit Free Press discovered documents which detailed Ford's plans to invest $9.2 billion in Mexico, which includes a new 280,000 square foot assembly plant. Ford already produces a large portion of their vehicles in Mexico and with their plans to expand existing plants and by using local suppliers, Ford will create 37,420 jobs in Mexico. Ford is not only replacing all of their laid-off American workers with Mexicans, they are actually adding another 3,420 employees to their workforce...only on the other side of the border! americanchronicle.com
