That sucking sound you heard was the sound of factories and jobs moving to Mexico. Once one of your competitors move, you have to, too, to stay competitive. Ultimately, Perot's company had to move at least part of its operations to Mexico.

I still remember Perot on the Larry King show with his charts, explaining it all.
