...all I could think was they should be so lucky for those jobs to go to Mexicans...there's a chance you might get your job back from a Mexican.

But their jobs went to a microchip and there's no way on god's green earth that a microchip will ever give it back.

of course Bernie Moreno promised each and every one of them he was bringing their jobs back. a year later - not even the slightest hint of return. To quote WCFields (I think)...there's a sucker born every minute.
