Mexican engineers flood Tesla hiring event in Monterrey

Monterrey

ENGINEERS from across Mexico streamed into a cramped hotel lobby in the industrial city of Monterrey for a chance of a job with the US electric vehicle maker Tesla Inc, which is looking south of the border for talent in short supply at home.

The fair was held at a delicate time for American firms hiring abroad as President Donald Trump reviews immigration rules for bringing high-skilled foreign workers to the United States, part of a "buy American, hire American" policy.
