    Sentence 1: A successful U.S. apparel-maker, for  instance, may assemble basic men's khaki pants in  average sizes in Mexico, taking advantage of low  labor costs as well as Mexico's proximity to the  maker's Texas distribution centers; at the same time,  this company can choose to manufacture products  with more variable demand, like khaki pants with  narrow waists and long inseams, in the United States,  providing fast tumaround for retailers and lower  exposure to inventory risk.    Sentence 2: The United States prefers outsourcing its  labor to Mexico.
