I agree and disagree.
I disagee with the inflated pay rates. Sure we do not see the immediate cost reduction as it takes years to trickle down to the consumer. That rate of pay is ridiculous!! To stay in business you have to use common sense and compete in the market place. 50-60 per hr is NOT getting your dollars worth. Lets keep it realistic here.
I too would like to see them relocate to somewhere in the south where labor is much cheaper. They could cut thier pay rates in half and keep it american.
Now as for Mexico, if they must move, I would rather see them go to Mexico than China. Complain about NAFTA all you want as I hate it too - however - it gives us an alternative choice to China which is as we all know the worst possible choice of all.

They're buying something that YOU make or sell. When that money goes to Mexico, then what? (basically Mexican welfare for an inferior product, that's what)
I say screw it, keep the AXL plant open. The price of our vehicles won't drop anyway so keep the money going to our middle class. When they move a factory to Mexico, the product's price doesn't drop, the shareholders and CEOs simply get more skim.
