Once Fords multi billion dollar plant in Mexico opens, those assembly plants here will disappear.

Personally I don't care where my vehicles are built. I was only stating how it once was, those days are forever long gone. My camaro was built in Canada. My Toyota Tundra in Texas, and my C-7 Stingray in the U.S.

I just get a kick out of the "system" here, grease the right palms and you get whatever it is you want.

I'm with you brother! I shop Walmart from time to time and they pretty much carry nothing made in the USA. I like the one stop shopping, they carry so much junk from groceries to lawn and garden!

You can thank the UAW for that.

Pretty crazy what's happening. We could see the largest income gap in u.s. history. Middle class will end up footing the bill for all the "free" stuff/benefits.

Like everything in life, plus and minuses for whatever way it goes. For example: Open Borders = cheaper drugs & hookers! Then again, less jobs and more crime. It's the New America!

Nice u paid off ur home, and saved buying used!

I remember watching one of those undercover investigations on the auto workers. During breaks/lunch dozens of them would sit in the parking lot chugging alcohol and doing drugs.

Then stumble their way back onto the assembly line. Union Reps protected them no matter what they did. Even the video evidence did nothing, it was seen as harassment. LOL
