much difference tf|
and Democratic
By having the jobs go to Mexico, he
said, job loss is reduced. U.S. compa
nies still can supply the raw materials to
the plants because of Mexico’s proximity
to the United States.
Another advantage of the Maquiladora
program is that it boosts Mexico’s ailing
economy, he said. Jobs are created in
Mexico, and since the assembly plants
can be 100 percent foreign-owned, nec
essary foreign capital is brought into the
country.
In addition to strengthening a neigh
boring country, he said, the Maquiladora
program will slow the influx of immi
grants to the United States.
Texas also will benefit from the pro
gram, he said, because most of the as
sembly plants are located near the U.S.-
Mexican border.
Texas suppliers will be able to take ad
vantage of the program, and because
many of the parts to be assembled in
Mexico will be transported through
Texas, adding money to the Texas econ
omy.
But Perez said there are also cultural
drawbacks to the program, including the
“Americanization” of northern Mexico.
That issue also will be discussed at the
conference, he said.
The A&M conference is the first con
ference of its kind on the maquiladora in
dustry, Perez said.
Registration for the conference begins
Thursday at 4 p.m. in Rudder Forum.
The rest of the day will be spent mostly
on workshops and discussions.
Friday’s program will consist mostly
of speakers in Rudder Auditorium.

ley will open the conference Friday at 9
a.m.
• U.S. Congressman Joe Barton will
speak at 9:25 a.m. on U.S.-Mexican re

• Joseph Grunwald, former president
