      Even domestic cars are assembly in America but the parts come from other countries so no you still going be effected by that.

      Also keep in mind there a reason shit not made here. We can’t compete with their cheap labor prices. So even if you tried to move some of those jobs back here it would still cost the consumer a shit ton more money on said goods.
