I was always pro help our neighbor with jobs, but corporations are still screwing over the workers.
They pay them shite and straight profit.

The same thing occurs to undocumented migrant workers in the US as well.
Undocumented workers have no basis or recourse for compliant, less ICE be notified of their illegal presence here. So many are subject to substandard wage, abuse and awful living conditions. They would fare far better if they were documented.

They would.
Remember no one forced them to come here.

I worked in Mexico one summer while in college. We worked offshore but spent some time on land while we were there. It was construction but it was very unsafe, extension cords twisted together with exposed wiring. Electrocution waiting to happen because there wasn't a ground wire. Saw a Mexican worker get his fingers chopped off in an accident and nobody cared. No rush to help for sure. Met some nice people but for the most part it was a sh@thole.

My dad used to have to go all the time. He was a quality manager for a company who made the windows for the Ford Aerostar and Astro vans. He despised that part of his job.
Then they pretty much shut down the plant in my hometown around 2005-ish.
I'm blaming it on the fact that most of the production got shifted down to Mexico due to cheaper labor. Bastards.
But seriously I was in college at the time and too busy partying to read much into it or the reason why it happened. I think it was actually that they weren't diversified in their product mix and were hit hard when Ford stopped making those models. He got a decent severance and landed on his feet and doesn't have to go to Mexico or anywhere else anymore, but I'm sure he's the exception for folks in lots of small towns where they depend on factories for most of the labor force.

I spent a couple days in the Delco Electronics plant back around 1999. It was right across the border from Brownsville in Matamoros. It was a first rate facility.

When GM first opened car plants there they had trouble with workers not leaving after their shift ended. The plant was air conditioned and the workers would try to hide and sleep in the plant rather than go home.

I've had to go to a couple of plants that manufacture heavy industrial switchgear. They were completely under American control with our style of manufacturing ways/methods and quality control standards. Just cheaper labor was all.

Yeah facility wise it was fine
Point is more are the Mexican people getting benefit
