it has less to do with the government than it does with big business and citizens. if mexicans can find higher paying wages in the US and get the US dollar which is stronger than the Peso, why would you care if big companies were in Mexico. Of course, there are plenty of Mexicans that would love a jobe in their home  country even though it pays less than the same job in the US. Thats where big biz comes in. The cost of hiring and maintaining a work force in Mexico is significantly higher than in China because China has so many fewer laws preventing abuse. In addition, you can pay workers in China far less because they can't hop the border into the US and find the same job that pays double. Make sense!

thats basically the idea of a hybrid engine, except instead of powering a house, it helps power the car. see, electric motors actually work as electric generators in reverse, so hybrid cars have a gas and electric motor. the electric motor generates power when braking, which is stored in batteries. then, when you start up again, the electric motor helps accelerate so the gas engine doesnt work so hard. its alot easier and more efficient to use the stored enrgy within the car rather than putting it into the power grid.

because they were very high priced and profits and sales were very low on these in the US. thats why they are so rare today. try looking at the lexus IS300, they have the same engines just no turbos.

Ethanol fuel is made from sugar cane. Brazil is now using 40% of\nethanol fuel to run their vehicles because Brazil is the  no. 1  producer of sugar cane in the world . Based on their reports, ethanol run cars have 25% more mileage compared to gasoline feed cars? Sugar cane production is less costly in Brazil compared to other countries.

It will rather hard to survive. In fact after hearing npr.org There are less engineers in US compared to India and china. Mexico provides lots of labour but lacks in technical. \n US can surive only if they can get all the best engineers from India and over other parts of the world create some innovative products and sell the technology at an extra ordinary price

Because mexico makes cheap things and American's like to buy cheap things.  So we buy things from mexico (import) that we can't afford (collectively, not individually) and we export very little to them.  Thus we end up owing them money.  They don't subtract out all the money which we pay the illegal immigrants who send that money back home....perhaps they should.

You haven't even considered the fact that the Automobile Industry has outsourced jobs away from Americans. America has been lead by a capitalist system and removed most of the mass transit systems such as trains, and trolley cars in their infrastructure. Some cities don't even have bus systems, and or are cutting funding to bus routes. We are not expanding in those obvious areas. This hydrogen fuel system has been available for over 30 years. This isn't a public situation, but an obvious Government decision from the start. I don't believe that there is a shortage of oil; because of the wells being capped off in Texas in the 80's as the largest oil reserve in the World.

America is a place where they can get a job and make a living. In Mexico unemployment is unbelievable and the economy has imploded.

Where my husband is from, the best product would be nice wood furniture or electronics. In Tlaxcala (the state next to Puebla) they do not have many trees and the furniture is poorly made, sofas are hard, beds dont come bigger than full size etc. Many things are cheaper in Mexico than the US, but electronics are not. We bought a rice maker for $70! We really wanted one and we could only find the one. There are ways to bring items into Mexico legally.

Technically you're correct.  You'd do a better job making your point without the capital letters.\n\nYes, Mexico is part of North America, thus Mexicans are also Americans.  As a matter of fact they're a member of the Organization of American States (OAS).  \n\nThe answer to your question is "history."  The U.S.A. is the only country to use "America" in it's name.  It's a lot short to refer to someone as an "American" rather than a "United States of American".  Over time that was just the accepted terminology.  There's lots of terminology out there that isn't 100% precise.  Get over it.  It's no denigration of other countries.

Because Mexico like others in the CONCACAF ( the region in which US and Mexico reside) is the weakest in the world.  Many players from Brazil are technically stronger and Mexico does does play Brazil and Argentina often enough, but Mexicans do not play in Europe as much as others in the confederation.  But the key to Brazils success is the deep love and pride in the game, which Mexicans have but they usually lack individual strengths of Adrianno, Renaldo, Ronaldinio, Revaldo ( from teh past), Rogia Jr. etc.

Trying to outsmart their competition but only they end up doing it to themselves. In other words, By them using cheap materials their cost of manufacturing cars will be lesser. Therefore they dont last while others use high quality materials that last long.

Either way, the money doesn't get used in the U.S. as any corporation of the size to be able to open sites in Mexico has a ton of tax shelters that prevent paying taxes.  Mexico benefits far more from both situations than the U.S. does.

They are 2 different countries. Mexico is in between south and north america. And India is in South Asia. India is mainly Hindu while Mexicos water makes you ill.

As a Mexican living in Mexico (I'm an architect and make a pretty decent living here) I just can't believe you're so ignorant to ask this question. Of course that dealers do NOT own Mexico.\nyes we have drug dealing trouble, maybe the same as you in US. I really hope you can travel a little and visit my beautiful country, so you can verify by yourself the lies told by the media.

The problem with Mexico is how much they waste their resources. The contractors that pave the roads will use the cheapest materials and inexperienced labor but charge the government extremely high prices. The government officials accept this because they get a big bribe from contractors. The corruption is what is keeping the people poor in Mexico, there are warehouses full of food spoiling at this very minute, bought by the party candidates to buy votes, but since a new law of the  Federal Electorate Institute forbides to use food for votes, its all wasting away. I read Spanish Internet newspapers to get info, so that is where my sources come from.  Just to open a private business in Mexico, involves bribes so unbelievable that only the the wealthy can afford. The people are fleeing from poverty, its hard to fight against a government so corrupt within.  Recently, Flower vendors that stood up against the government were arrested, severely beaten and killed. Mexico is rich for the rich, and only poverty awaits for the poor and underprivileged. Fox's wife, instead of purchasing towels for 400 dlls each for her personal use, costing the the taxpayer, should invest in buying wheelchairs for her people. All her and Fox's clothing is payed by the taxpayer purchased in NY or France. And the woman never wears a dress twice. She put her hand me downs on auction, and not even the elite women bought them, appalled by the asking price. All this is what makes Mexico a Third World country despite it's wealth.
