Yes, but it may not bring enough goodwill for regulators to ignore other things they are doing which may be illegal which was the suggestion up-thread.
The playbook in the US is to argue that a factory will create US jobs. State and local governments are willing to play ball with the expectation of increased activity and taxes.
Building a plant on the US-Mexico border will not be seen as kindly if it's perceived that they are not using US labor.
The article that you linked mentions Polish _construction_ workers. I honestly doubt the areas next to the border would get you enough workforce to get you a mostly Polish staff - the border is 50min away and the closest cities are relatively tiny.
Or maybe the math somehow works out, but I doubt it.
The math works very well when you know Polish wages, just like people living close to Switzerland (ie <2h commute) still go there en masse, doubling or tripling your salary is very attractive for most people.
Yes, for now, because that's all they need, but when they start looking for low/middle skilled workers I wouldn't be surprised if the mast majority of them will be Polish workers
As I understand they'll mostly be filled by the polish workforce, they didn't built it so close to the border for no reason.
