Maquiladoras are found in the United States, along the Mexican border.

D
Working conditions at maquiladoras are sometimes very poor.

Explanation

Maquiladoras are factories located in Mexico, especially near the U.S.-Mexico border, where imported materials are assembled for export. Workers may accept low wages, and some factories have been criticized for pollution and poor working conditions. So the false statement is that maquiladoras are found in the United States along the Mexican border.
