A brief description of the Maquiladores manufacturing networks in Mexico that replaced the US auto industry, leading to the decline of once great major manufacturing cities like Detroit, Michigan.
WHY TARIFFS ARE CRITICAL.
Opening the Maquiladores in Mexico was a broad Globalist attack against the American Economy & US National Security. (Worse in relation to China.) The exporting of the American auto industry had far reaching effects on AUTO & PARTS ASSEMBLY PLANTS, also CASTING, FABRICATION, MACHINING, FOUNDRIES, METALS, RUBBER, GLASS, LIGHTING, tons of RAW MATERIALS & MINING, etc.
Countless good American jobs lost.
America's manufacturing independence nearly destroyed.
Maquiladores = Low wages. Little to no benefits. No retirement.
As of 2021: "With hourly wages as low as USD $3.50, U.S. businesses save 40% to 50% in labor costs by using maquiladoras."
Forced Americans into Walmart jobs, to live on credit.
