I told you about the hovels and squalor that they have down there. The average stay of a Mexican worker in the maquiladora plants is only 18 months. They learn a basic skill and dont want to stay there earning 80 cents an hour or $1.50 an hour when you can go up the highway to Los Angeles and get $7.50 an hour. plus education. safety protection. unemployment compensation and so on. This It. exactly why NAFTA will spur a steady stream of Mexican immigration to the United States. Meanwhile. this Congress makes U.S.-based industries less competitive. We say they must have strict environmental controls.
