Comprehensive recovery of Mexico should spear head economic war with China

Our only future plan for Mexican immigration is to reverse the magnet a bit.  Companies in America that willfully hire illegals may need to reconsider their means and mode of production.  Through a better North American trade agreement, we can look at turning Mexico into the worlds new China.  To go into a store and find anything that does not "Made In China" is hard anymore.  China is rapidly on its way to becoming the worlds largest economy because we have made it that way.

Can't we make it in Mexico and label it Made In North America?

But did we have any other alternative?

When laws made it so appealing to find cheap labor, corporations did just that.  Made In America was always teetering on the precipice of trade agreements.  Third world countries saw America's need of third world labor and responded.

As I grew up, those tags that once said Made In America slowly became, Made In Vietnam, Made In Taiwan, Made In Thailand and made anywhere in the world except America.  Only recently has China (still a communist nation) taken over the allegiance of America's thirst for a robust economy.

If Mexico does not teach us something about the impact of third world labor sources and what companies will do to gain it, Mexico should teach us something about income redistribution.  In essence, the income that was transferred from the Mexican soil is now being earned on America's soil and sent back to Mexico.  Socialism, once again, has reared its head in response to those moments that capitalism hurts.

Aside from the danger of Mexican drug cartels, redeveloping Mexico will expand the capacity for American imperialism.  To hurt China, we must disconnect our dependency upon them.  Mexico offers a fertile land for relocating corporations that consume products currently being purchased from China.  For every corporation who makes this investment we can treat their products as domestic production in regards to both labeling and taxation. Mexico gains new industry and retains its most vital resource, its people, and America stops bending over to be raped by China. After all, Made In North America sounds a lot better than Made In China anyway.

Of course we could ignore Mexico and pretend that immigration and dangerous drug cartels will fix themselves.  We could do like Eric Cantor says and tell ourselves that we must secure the border before we address the problem. We can continue to allow criminal corporations to be less accountable than the immigrants they hire.....

.....Or we could get real about immigration and embrace all of North America as more than just next door neighbors, but countries who's futures are intimately connected with our own.
