Regardless of that, semiconductor fabrication is one of, if not THE most complex form of manufacturing. It's not enough to simply build a fab in Mexico, the supply chain of materials and highly skilled labor that runs these fabs needs to exist there too. That's not to say that it can't exist somewhere like Mexico, but currently it doesn't and it would take longer to build up. So while moving it to Mexico would remove the geopolitical risk problem, putting it there instead of the US would only give the advantage of cheaper labor but at the cost of taking much much longer to ramp up.
