Next time you go to the store to buy a pair of jeans, they will cost $275.00. Pay for them happily! No complaints allowed, since your solution does nothing about the tort laws, mandatory unionism, and excessive regulation that drove production offshore in the first place.
What drove American production offshore, was in large part, simple greed.

"So how does one poison that allegiance of Congress?"
Higher tariffs are the solution to the trade imbalance with China. Of course, without cheap Chinese goods in Walmart we're going to have unhappy screaming consumers. They are the ones who will have to attack Congress and get them off their butts (and away from their lobbyists) to deal with 'tort laws, mandatory unionism, and excessive regulation' etc.
Slap a 250 dollar tariff on imported jeans. Problem solved.
Two things, that is lie and a scare tactic. Secondly you Free Traitors™ always look at textiles as an example. Textiles are an outlier in manufacturing most manufacture labor is tiny part of the retail price.
After a tariff prices will be higher. Much higher at first them lower later on as domestic supplies kick in. The higher cost will be the difference in US labor/regs minus cheaper shipping costs. I'd estimate 5-7% higher. But quality will go up too. Yes, the one time inflation is worth it to me and a lot of other patriots.
The 30 year globalist experiment in "Free Trade" is an abject failure. Why? because the rest of the of world did't play along and used us you idiot.
You cannot place US workers in direct competition with 3rd world peasants
