>>President Fox spoke in Sacramento yesterday, and about 30 seconds of coverage was given by local television stations that are not Hispanic. One Hispanic television station televised the entire speech. I would think that a discussion from President Fox would be of interest to all Californians, but apparently the news media does not think so.

>>I have been following the migration of jobs from the United States to other nations for about the last 40 years. In 1968 Taiwan became a competitor of our textile industry. U.S. companies set up shops in Taiwan and paid 17 ½ cents an hour to people to sew garments. These garments were sold in the United States at the same price as for garments sewn in the United States by Union Workers. Guess where the profits went?

>>Japan had a twenty year plan to take over our electronics manufacturing. They did a good job. American investors want immediate profits for investments. Japan wanted a long term plan – such a different philosophy.

>>One industry after another has left our nation due to companies trying to find cheaper labor. Maquiladoras were created in Mexico, which gave jobs to Mexican workers. There were at least two reasons Maquiladoras came into being. One was the cost of labor and the other was safety laws. Many Maquiladora workers have been injured or ill due to dangerous chemicals and improper handling of those chemicals. When a Mexican worker is made ill due to a chemical then they are fired and there are plenty of people waiting in line to replace that person.

>>Then we have the migration to yet a cheaper labor market – China. We have a huge trade deficit with China. I wonder why? Why not put more emphasis and investment into Mexico to produce goods for the United States? Do not buy anything from China. China will soon own the United States at the rate we are going. They are using the monies we give them for their products to finance things like their military. Read what the top Chinese military leaders say about war with the United States - it is not a matter of if but when! More jobs in Mexico, fewer illegal aliens, less money for China. That is a “win – win”!

>In addition China is buying up alot of our debt.
That gives new meaning to "debt free"!
