Mexican Factories Beg For Workers; Biden’s Migrants Walk On By
June 20, 2023
In Tijuana, manufacturing plants are desperate to fill jobs that Mexicans won’t do.
With some 14,000 openings at maquiladoras in the border town – not counting the more than 2,000 vacancies at businesses that provide support and resources for those factories – companies are looking to put minors to work on the assembly lines.
U.S. and Canadian firms want to re-shore production from Asia to avoid supply-chain disruptions such as those brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, Detroit automakers with a presence in Mexico are eyeing investments in electric vehicle production.
But the Biden administration’s mass immigration policies are undermining Mexican-based maquiladoras by enabling more prospective workers to cross into the U.S. in ever-greater numbers.
