Raw materials were to be brought in from the US, the goods were to be manufactured using only Mexican labor (the only Americans allowed to work in the plant had to be in the top 4% of management with skills unavailable in Mexico. That restriction applies only to Americans, BTW. Nationals from other countries are not bound by those restrictions, but by treaties with the individual countries.), and the finished products had to be shipped out of the country. Until NAFTA was passed Mexicans couldn't even buy the products manufactured in their plants unless they were re-imported from the US and a huge tariff paid on them. Cordially, --Dave
