These are fantasies. Need some basic knowledge of US politics and laws.sanjaykumar wrote: ↑10 Apr 2025 04:18 That is where immigration control comes in. America can give work permits for 5-10 years or even citizenship to have people from other countries do this type of work. People who pay taxes and stimulate domestic demand. I dare say Chinese will be eager to come over and continue the low skill labour in those very same factories relocated in the US.
(1) Work permits (types and numbers) are based on laws passed by congress. There are no provisions for any such permits.
(2) Creating laws to issue work permits for low-wage work, will be political suicide for any party.
If these items were "easy" to do, it would already have been done long ago to regularize the Mexican labor (no need to go to China). Detailed posts were made earlier about this.
If you call China "mercantilist and abusive" to the USA, then India and many other countries will also come under that.
The key issue is that USA over the last 50 years decided to raise its standard of living by sending production elsewhere and buying it cheaply, and use its MIC to ensure continuance of this system. That karma has returned with consequences, and no amount of "tariff policy" will fix this.
Tariffs provide (a best) a temporary relief for domestic producers. Also, over longer term, retaliatory tariffs by other countries negate such effects. The US market is still the largest, but for how long. Other large markets are now growing rapidly...that tide is also turning and not in favor of USA.
