The Author responds:
jwas left a dimension out of his simple analysis. It is
discrimination. I don't know how legal discrimination is in
Mexico, but legal or not, if factory operators move to Mexico
and discriminate and hire the best of the bunch, the lesser
preferred Mexican job applicants will be left empty handed,
unless of course they cross the border and work in the U.S.
for peanuts. So there can be ever increasing traffic in BOTH
directions. Sorry, jwas. Try again!
