Manufacturing Jobs and Michael Bay

Ford Mexico: Leaving his usual comfort zone of immigrant bashing and thinly veiled misogyny, Trump dug into the U.S. automotive industry last month during an interview with CNN. The Republican presidential contender has been vocal against shipping manufacturing jobs to low-cost nations ever since he started his bid for the top U.S. job, according to Toronto Star. But every time, he seems to shift the goalpost with as much insightfulness as a Michael Bay blockbuster. It was only matter of time before the enfant terrible of North American politics made its way into this column. During the interview, he suggested that automakers who choose to move jobs to other countries — he had Ford and Mexico on mind in this particular instance — should pay taxes to bring those cars back into the American market. Immigrants are taking our jobs, send them back, problem solved. There always a logical simplicity to Trump statements that captures the common mind. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
