For years, the term “buy American” has become more and more meaningless.
People often put their patriotism on display when they buy vehicles. Despite insurgent car companies from overseas taking over the American market, many Americans have refused to buy foreign automobiles. Instead, they chose cars from the big three — GM, Chrysler, and Ford — in order to support the American economy.
Or so they thought.
Over the past decade, more and more “American” car manufacturers have built factories in Mexico to take advantage of cheap labor and deals struck between the U.S and Mexican government. Surely, no city has felt the damaging effects of these deals more than Detroit — and the bleeding hasn’t stopped yet.
This week, Ford announced another huge shift sure to damage America’s Motor City.
See what the automaker announced in the report on the next page:
I dont think 35% is enough.
And if people havnt noticed since Nabisco moved they have had a massive increase in recalls
Since the food processing companies have hured more refugees we have tripled the cases of food poisoning( i mean who would even dream of eating food prepared by a person that don’t believe in toliet paper and dont wash there hands).
I think if you are going to discard the American worker
You should have to pay for it
It is a great plan.the reason for any greedy company is profit
Take away the profit things change quickly
But they’ll be gone. They don’t have to trade back here.
While I find it disheartening that ford is moving small car production to mexico ( excluding the mustang) , the american plant in question will not close but be retooled to make the new ranger pickup.so everyone relax.
Want to buy an all american car.built by americans with parts built in america by american suppliers? The toyota Camry.
My family and friends won’t be purchasing any more fords
Plenty of good cars made in US!
F**k ford
