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.

Interesting point. Could this argument be used to support building Toyotas in the U.S. because the $ stays here, paying the American workers?
