Caterpillar Inc. is telling its American employees in Mexico, particularly those with children, to return to the United States because of escalating violence there, the company said Thursday.
About 40 American employees of Caterpillar facilities in Mexico, including in Monterrey, are affected by the company’s order. Those employees all are salaried or management, said company spokesman Jim Dugan.
“We have been and will continue to monitor and assess the security situation in Mexico and communicate with our employees in order to improve their safety. Based on recent guidance from the (U.S.) State Department, Caterpillar has informed expat employees in some regions of Mexico, including Monterrey, that they and their families should repatriate as soon as possible,” Dugan said.

We all want to see Pelosi take a nose dive...but Boehner is set to be the next speaker...he voted for NAFTA/GATT/CAFTA @ bailouts (this article wouldn't be written without those agreements)...if people are lulled into voting back the "next" set of criminals...we're going to get what we deserve. Defend the border, end the war on drugs...restore America! I'm ready to vote for Ron Paul in 2012...if he runs, I'm behind him all the way.

Not much honestly but I attempt to be an optimist even though my pessimist side rules my common sense.

I knew people who worked for Caterpillar, they are the cheapest bastards on the planet. so if they told their American employees to head home, (thus costing them money in lost production), you can bet that it's that bad down there.

I couldn't agree more! Bring the jobs back to America and let poverty reign in the countries left behind.

ahemmmm, HIGHLAND LAND CLEARANCES, Bubba.
You folks dumped your poor and indebted Scot's, Irish, Welsh, and border english to North America to fight and kill the native American's to start with.
All to fight a proxy european war with the dutch, french and spanish conquerors.
Killing uncountable colonist and said Native American's to profit and expand the british empire.
As the british did in Australia, Canada and India.
As the spanish did in Mexico along with the french and german's.
Lay t More..
