On the recordMarch 4, 2004
It occurred to me as the Senator talked about refrigerators, the next time you go to eat at a Mexican restaurant, remember that Fig Newtons are now made in Mexico. Why? They used to be made in the United States. But Fig Newtons jobs have left and gone to Mexico. Why? Lower wages, I am guessing. Levis, Fruit of the Loom underwear, you name it. We could have a hearing that would last for years if we wanted to talk to the people who had good jobs in this country but whose jobs are now gone because even Fig Newtons went to Mexico.
