  2. Instead of traveling to Colombia, why don't they bring down here an assembly plant, a manufacturing plant or a clothing line plant. We are a border city and all the jobs go to Matamoros "maquiladoras" because of the lower wages. At the rate the dollar is with the peso, Brownsville residents have a higher value of the dollar. Why does our mayor waste all OUR money instead of using his own.? I would really like to see an automobile assembly plant here, a Levy's or a Walmart clothing brand, but I guess their intelligence brain mass doesn't give them enough to have those type of thoughts.

  3. ...why don't they bring down here an assembly plant, a manufacturing plant or a clothing line plant.

    And how does that happen? Magically? Because any plant owner just inherently KNOWS Brownsville would work for their industry? I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here and guess you've never owned a business that needed to promote itself & its resources. That takes time. That takes travel. That takes money.
    I guess I don't really blame you for not realizing that; but I sure as HELL blame the purveyors of your education. And the fundamental (!) lack of economic or business sense that you and your commenting ilk are showing here and elsewhere.
