If someone breaks into your home but doesn't steal, damage, destroy or even touch anything, should it still be a crime? Why is trespassing, in and of itself, a crime? These are issues of property rights, and national borders determine where one country's property rights end and another's begin.

Mercury would die, and other companies would be sure to follow. That's the reality.

It sounds to me like these US corporations made their own beds and, at some point, may be forced to lie in them. And do we have any credible evidence that Mexico would kick Ford out if America ever got the balls secure its borders? It would be silly for an impoverished nation to intentionally eliminate a source of decent jobs just out of spite.
