give a corporation a subsidy, and it will only operate and provide job
creation so long as the subsidy is in place. as soon as the subsidy
stops, the firm packs up and moves to mexico.

That's why the subsidies are necessary. If a business can't compete against
Mexican crops raised by people who get paid 50 cents an hour, then it's
unsurprising they would seek to cut costs when their labor costs ten times
that.

And once the firm moves, and the land is developed, it's gone forever.

Thanks for making my case so clearly.
