According to WikiAnswers, a Foxconn factory worker in China (producing Apple products, for example) makes an average annual salary of $6,300 U.S. An unskilled worker in Mexico makes an average annual salary of $4,800 U.S. With a few exceptions, both countries have roughly the same natural resources. So why wouldnt the U.S. Government provide tax incentives for companies doing business in China to instead build factories in Mexico to produce the same products? Pay the workers the same that Foxconn does and suddenly weve increased their standard of living while reducing the cost of shipping products across an ocean. This could potentially translate into between 200,000-350,000 new, higher paying jobs in Mexico. A 32% higher standard of living for that significant an amount of Mexicans means... wait for it... significantly less illegal immigration to the U.S.! Problem mostly solved. Thanks for asking.
