Mexico by demographic numbers is actually better skilled and educated and capable and productive than existing workers in the "far east" (statistics being numbers that should be looked at with skepticism of course).
Canada will inevitably have a role as well, even if it isn't smart. If it IS smart it will take huge numbers of skilled "far east" immigrants with tech skills and knowledge to support this transition and gain a foothold. Canada can culturally take immigrants more easily than Mexico, they demonstrated it with the Hong Kong exodus.
Mexico will see vast amount of industrial plant construction and "blue collar" work. So will the US and Canada, but those economies are poised to assume the hardware design / fabrication / automation / robotics. You know, if they are smart. Actually, the entire "ring" of the Gulf of Mexico should become a hotbed of materials production, transport, trade, and production, so likely Central America and northern South America can hop on this.

Will Mexico will have a large/larger phase of development and they will look outwards for better capital return pushing them towards less developed economies and the cycle continues?
