Thank you for the links to the census figures. Having read recent buzz about "rehoming" offshore operations, I might have been too credulous about the plausibility of Anderson's hypothesis; plus I was so focused on the possibility that he is unfamiliar with the recent history of US-Mexico trade that it didn't occur to me to check whether the numbers support his argument, which clearly they do not. I am suspicious that he just doesn't really know what he is talking about.
- rgbrenner 14y agoIf you're concerned about "rehoming" then it's worth pointing out the balance of payments for Mexico and China. In the past year, Mexico's has been REDUCED by 3b (so even though Mexico's exports increased by 15b, their imports increased by 18b). Compare to China: an INCREASE in the imbalance of 20b (so +25b in exports to the US vs +5b in imports).
