Companies move production to foreign countries in response to economic factors. Mostly getting rid of entitlement-crazy USA unions and draconian regulations and fears of lawsuits. On the Mexican side, there is LOTS of corruption and the mexican workers IN MEXICO have their own crazy work rules. Our company WAS in mexico and moved most production to China and a little to the USA (using more productive illegal alien workers). Mexico had become too corrupt and regulated to make it pay- always someone putting his hand out to be paid.

Next is attacking the reasons for the move to Mexico, by getting rid of the anti-business mentality as illustrated by the taxes and the demonizing of entrepreneurship.

This has always been an easy problem to fix, it's about tax policy and import/export laws. If it's cheaper to build something overseas and move it here, you pretty much cannot afford to not to if your competitors are.

Where you have some wiggle room is on the quality, VW had some horrendous quality issues with Jettas made in Mexico for example, although they have other issues now..... But as an automaker, you have two concerns - cost you can sell it for, and how much it costs to maintain the warranty.

I witnessed proof of your statement about all the support jobs. I had such a job.
During my semi-retired prison guard spell as a security guard, Mercedes provided me with good pay under a Wackenhut contract.
My favorite post for making time fly was controlling a constant flow of truck traffic which included a lot of local Averitt drivers who got to be home every night.
As for the trucks, parts made by surrounding companies were being shipped in.
And there was another gate for carrying out the brand new cars to dealerships.
I worked all the gates.
At yet another I had to check in all kinds of business people who needed to visit so-and-so.
The first time I worked yet, yet another gate, I thought I was in for a slow yet quiet Saturday.
Then about 70 Hispanic cleaners lined up to be checked out, entered into a computer and let in one by one by one by . . . whew! .

A pleasure to read something positive for
a change!

So, somebody doesn't like this news?? Seriously? Not from this guy. +1 AJ.

Ford may provide 1,000 jobs but there will be many more ancillary jobs created to support the Ford factory. If true, this is a substantial feather in Trumps cap.

If you think Trump sit quietly and will allow O take credit you haven't been following Trump. :)

Bringing 1,000 jobs back to America! Trump is already helping the economy. This will definitely help the employment growth, which, by the way, Obama's administration will get to count as a positive in its' numbers and take credit for.
