The whiny Mexicans are all butt hurt that Carrier is staying in Indiana and not going to Mexico. One Mexican official is now calling America a ‘banana republic’, while another official had to resign. Get used it to Mexico. You aren’t getting American jobs and you aren’t going to be dumping illegals in this country anymore. Deal with it.

(Reuters) – U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s intervention to stop jobs at a plant in Indiana going to Mexico is typical of what happens in countries that Americans call “banana” republics, a senior Mexican state official said on Thursday.
Carrier, a unit of United Technologies Corp
, said on Thursday that state officials had pledged $7 million in tax breaks to encourage the firm to keep around 1,100 jobs in Indianapolis after Trump stepped in to protect U.S. workers. A heating and air-conditioning company, Carrier said in February it would cut some 2,100 jobs in closing two Indiana plants and move production near to the city of Monterrey in Nuevo Leon, a state bordering Texas in northern Mexico.
On the campaign trail, Trump criticized Carrier and other U.S. companies investing in Mexico as unpatriotic and threatened to impose tariffs on Mexican-made goods as part of his pledge to put “America first.”
Trump’s deal with Carrier created an “uncomfortable” situation for the company, and went beyond politicians’ remit, Fernando Turner, economy minister for Nuevo Leon, said in an interview.
“It’s not our job. It’s up to companies to take their own decisions, not politicians; that’s what’s done in Latin American countries that they call banana (republics) in the United States,” he said, laughing.
“It’s not something that was done up until now in the United States. But anyway, things change.”
