Moving jobs overseas doesn't always work. Cheap labor doesn't always make cost efficient labor. After NAFTA was signed, a few manufacturers moved back here because the cheaper labor did not have the quality and productivity of American labor. They had plants in Mexico because of Mexican tariffs, and they moved back soon after NAFTA was signed.

Look at the current automakers. Foreign brands are increasing production here and domestic brands are moving production overseas. Then look who's growing and look who's struggling. Also look who has the highest quality ratings. Still think American workers are a disadvantage?

I've noticed the national news media almost always reports on companies moving overseas and laying off workers over here. Last year, America added 2 million jobs and that was a slow year. But watching FOX news or CNN a person would never know who is adding them or where they've been added, because they are never mentioned. It must be a lot more fun to blame politicians for job losses than it is to give credit for job gains.
