And misconstrued in making this a border bash. The original move was to eliminate jobs in one country in favor of labor prices in another (according to the stories I read). Now that the direction is reversed, it's bad ??? Not worthy of discussion ??? Regardless of the direction, I think it's an interesting situation. I doubt we'll ever know the real reasoning behind it.
