Script here implies all 400 of the recorded cases (film suggests as many as 5,000 total) of the slain women were maquilladoras, and that the failure of local law enforcement to investigate is, in some shadowy way, connected to the (mostly U.S.-owned) companies themselves.

Firms were nearly exclusively from the interior of Mexico, with but a few at Maquilladora border towns (Chihuahua [1], Monterrey [4]).

The maquilladora system will have no reason to be limited to actual border operation.

Two possible consequences are the exploitation of Mexico's forests and energy reserves for export to the United States and its trading partners, and the creation of unregulated pollution spurred by increased investment and industrialization in the U.S.-owned maquilladora factories.(87)

They were able to evaluate many options including JIT and a Maquilladora. In the end they selected a "focused factory" strategy of matching the facility to the product.

Well, if you look at the experience of the maquilladora plants, those who have moved to Mexico right across the border, there is certainly cause for concern.
