There are certainly niches where this might make sense. But the general trend has been for low wage jobs to leave Mexico and go to China. Mexico is a middle income country, closer to Greece or Poland than to China.

Don't get me wrong - I think there are great benefits to North American economic integration. It was only very recently that China supplanted Mexico as our #2 trading partner. I just don't think it's reasonable to expect Mexico to occupy the same niche as China.
