As previous posts regarding "building in America" point out, it's not just the cost of labor, but being close to your supply chain that makes China so great. Mexico faces the same supply chain problem as building in America, so it wouldn't really get anywhere.
You should also note that with NAFTA in place, there has been significant shifts of manufacturing to Mexico. A lot of car factories sprung up in Mexico after NAFTA (both brand new factories, as well as relocated from Canada/US). While the degree of work being done in Mexico is not as large as in China, it is not fair to say that none as happened. There's a decent business week article that gives some overview of whats going on down there.
