As a trained engineer I was instructed to take every system under design to its limits as proof of concept. Lets take the trade arguments to their limits. Lets remove all unions, taxes and regulations from manufacturing in the USA. All of it. Now having "unleashed" the US worker I argue that the US worker would still be undercut by third world slave labor regardless, perhaps at a slower pace but the off shoring would continue. Under these circumstances then, it would be illogical to manufacture anything in the USA. There is enough slave labor in China alone to manufacture everything in the entire world.
