We need to RESHORE (that is the term for returning jobs back to America). Some companies are doing it, because costs of doing business is rising overseas. Some companies are building Mexican factories and leaving China. Transportation costs are cheaper.

I don't think very many are doing it. I thing the offshoring stills swamps the reshoring. The only reshoring I've heard about is where the company is returning with very highly automated factories so that labor cost is no longer an issue, as there is very little.

I'd rather have highly automated factories in the U.S. than have them overseas and foreign owned. But to help the labor situation we need to reshore industries that still need some labor. That's going to take restoring the tariffs.

The most recent reshoring I've heard about, appeared to have simply relocated a plant to Mexico to eliminate the union, and then relocated again to the U.S. with ultra high automation. I don't want to prevent automation. It's coming. And it's going to cause massive labor dislocations. All the more reason to get as many jobs back as we can now.
