Thread: Made in Mexico

I really want a list of products and service that are imported from Mexico. I'm going to start turning those products over before they come home with me. I want to see a list of products that are manufactured or produced in Mexico. I want Fox to know, he can keep his people under control or we will not buy his freaking NAFTA Crap.
I would be suprised if we were Selling/Exporting more good to Mexico than we are Buying/Importing. Does anyone know where the Current Import/Export numbers are? I've seen some pre NAFTA #'s but nothing current. You know, back when they were selling NAFTA to us. I'd like to see a breakdown of the types of good we buy from Mexico too. I'm wonderin how you report imports from an American owned business exporting to America??? Yea, selling to yourself.

Tequila including Margaritas made with it. Drink Daquiries with Rum.
"More than half the tequila manufactured in Mexico is exported".

Here are some of the big offenders, help me find the brand names
A lot of footwear comes from Mexico.
A lot of furniture too.
Building supplies like flooring and tile
Produce, ask the produce manager
Pottery and Home Decor products
Glassware
Automobile Parts/Cars Mfg. in Mex.
Beef (Mexico is no longer buying American beef but I'd bet they are selling it to us)

Find it, Flip it, Don't Buy it and Report it here.

Just about all Delco automotive audio products, and just about every harness in your GM car are made or assembled in Mexico.... And yes that includes some of the Bose units too.

I am actively doing the same. I will gladly pay a little more for something that isn't hencho in mexico. I take the time to look. I spend alot longer shopping and may spend a few more bucks, but to me it is worth the effort. Just think; if everyone did this, it would quickly put a major hurting on Mexico and their corrupt buisiness ways. It is practically impossible to buy 100% American, but you would be surprised how many times there is an American alternative right on the shelf with the import..Johnny

you should have put on Maytag. Closed plant in Galesburg, Illinois moved it to Mexico.

I check where things come from now. I didn't buy Mexican strawberries the other day even though the word is that due to the rains here in SoCal the cost of strawberries will go up.
I don't drink much but used to love making Margaritas and Sunrises. Well, I guess if I have a drink I will need to look for some Danish mead!
Another thing, a lot of Americans take cruises to Mexico. We should tell people to take cruises to other places, Alaska, up the Missisppi River, any place that does not stop in Mexico or go to Mexico.
The more we spread the word to other Americans the more this wil happen. This is so grassroots but that is often how things start. It just takes a few. We tell people, they tell others and so on. It will snowball.
Mexico needs to take care of her own, not pawn her people off on America and expect us to take care of them. The complete audacity of this country --- to ENCOURAGE her people to ilegally enter another country, use our services such as health and education, take jobs that pay them cash and then send all that money ( most of it ) back to her. This movement will go national and once word gets around, the vast majority of Americans ( who are REALLY REALLY ANGRY ) will join us.

You almost forget HEB

Almost finished.

Hi Beto ... don't think many outside TEXAS know about the food chain HEB ... for those that don't know it stands for (beleave it or not) H. B. Butts ...very large food chain...

Yes, Mr. Butts' HEB stores are very prevalent, especially in South Texas, also Central TExas - haven't moved into NE Texas yet - I don't think.

We were in Corpus Christi last year - and they proudly announced they were the only grocerty store in town - I think Wal Mart had a grocery section - not for sure.

We did find a whole foods place to shop.

But it will be hard to know which produce is from Mexico - all produce is not labelled, as to its origin, here in TExas

regarding the subject of cruises to mexico a co-worker of mine went on one a couple of weeks ago during the time all the protests were happening. She said when they stopped at ports there we people standing outside the ship with signs telling the Americans to go home. I wish that nobody would go there anymore and teach those dumbasses a lesson about what it would be like to never have another American touist spend their money in Mexico again.
