Ford to build plant in Mexico

Today's WSJ noted that Ford plans to build a plant in Mexico that will create 150,000 jobs. Good. Those jobs will help create a middle class who will need goods and services, and that will creat more jobs in their own country. Eventually, the Mexicans may even get rid of their government which tries to dump their poor on us, and instead they'll vote someone in who will build a strong Mexico. What a concept.

Of course, the UAW is unhappy. They want new members here--and they don't require a green card or citizenship to join the union. Well, let the union officials cross the border and see how far they can get organizing down there. There's more than one way to take in rake in dues.
