The Mexican borderline sweatshop known as the maquiladora began to fade away under intense competition from the economic machine called the Chinese slave labor. However due to recent slight difficulties in Chinese products like deadly poisons and the worldwide fuel crisis (also known as the Bush-Cheney retirement plan), Mexican sweatshops are making the China sweat.
A new Mexican advertising campaign is also being credited with the resurrection of the maquiladora. A cute little cartoon of una Mejicana feminista, Maquiladora La Explorista has been developed to put the sweatshops south of the border back on the map.In a recent episode of the cartoon ad, Maquiladora manages to score triple overtime at the widget factory and bring home enough tortillas and frijoles to save the family from starvation.
