Baja California Gov. Jose Guadalupe Osuna Millan talks with UCSD Chancellor Marye Anne Fox before he gave a talk on cross-border relations at UCSD's Institute of the Americas on Thursday, April 17.

LA JOLLA – Projects in water conservation and renewable energy will be key to Baja California's development in the coming years, Gov. José Guadalupe Osuna Millán said yesterday in a speech delivered at the University of California San Diego.

This is a positive news story. I think that the number of jobs in Baja California Norte is going to increase as the immigration laws are enforced here. The transport links in between the existing clothing distribution center in Los Angeles and clothing factories in Tijuana and Mexicali are well developed. More factories will open up and the existing factories will be adding shifts.

Richard, do you think it is OK when the people of San Diego had to build the Mexicans a sewage treatment plant in Tijuana at a cost to US taxpayers?

So what if they have more jobs in Baja Norte after they are deported they are not going to stay in Mexico making $1 an hour when they can come north and make $10 cleaning an office building in Denver.

Richard, I fail to see why you think it is so OK to shut a US factory and send it to Mexico or some other dirt poor third world nation? Do you work in import export? What is the difference between shutting a plant in the US for cheaper labor in MEXICO and letting an illegal into the US who undercuts US workers here? NOTHING! Cost cutting either way and foreign investment there is not INVESTMENT here! Long term it hurts AMERICA!
