Come on Travis, let's be fair. Saying that it's 39,900 American jobs vs 96 Mexican trucks isn't quite fair. Let's assume that each Mexican truck is driven by a man bringing his/her family. This means that there are actually 960 Mexicans involved. If you realize that 13.253 Mexican pesos is equivalent to 1 American dollar, then this makes it 12,722 Mexican monetary units vs. 39,900 American monetary units. When you figure things this way it's barely 3 to 1. When you look at the rest of the "investments" that the government makes, for us to get 33% of our initial "investment" back, it doesn't look like that bad of a deal. :)
