Just about every car company in the world has plants there - including all of the American companies...and no matter what Trump says that isn't going to go away

With tech companies getting most of their parts manufactured there - from Microsoft with their XBox's to every computer company - the labor cost is a little higher than China, but that is compensated for by lower freight charges...and they have one of the highest populations of highly skilled tech engineers in the world

It is also the 8th leading country in the world for tourism - a huge industry that doesn't depend on the US in any way

Yeah - the US pulling out of NAFTA will probably decrease their economy by 2 or 3 percent...but that will also allow them to export more to other countries since there has always been a demand that they couldn't meet due to the restrictions of NAFTA

The other part of this is that the companies that will benefit the most from building Trumps wall are Mexican construction and cement businesses that have their offices in the US
