I appreciate that you are having a civil debate with me and I want you to know I have already learned a couple things.

I agree with what you say about the American companies not coming here in the first place because the price, but my opinion* on this part would be that these companies may consider coming back to the United States if Trump creates a pro business atmosphere and lowers corporate tax rates. I believe that is what will happen but that remains to be seen.

On the other point you made I also agree, Mexico can go do business with other countries but that would mean shipping costs and finding people who need their products, and that would have to happen quickly. A lot of people have rightly been expecting China to come in and take over where the US used to do business, but they aren't in a full consumer economy yet. So I can't think of anything they would need or want from Mexico other than having the opportunity to get into our trade to put pressure on the United States.

I just don't believe Mexico has the time or money to waste and that they will need the US for a while longer. Long enough for the US to get what it needs from them.
