We don’t have a workforce problem (numerically),

When it comes to building mega-factories which Foxconn in Wisconsin was the “starter kit” for, which town, city state has 200,000 workers for one factory alone? Foxconn employs 1.2 million people in 15 factories; the smallest plant uses 80,000 workers while the biggest plants use 400,000 workers - and they still face a labor shortage!
The US has 330 million people of that 166,499,849 were employed in 2019; China and India have 1.5 billion each. China’s labor force was 776,400,000 in 2019. So who has the larger labor force?
Lazy has nothing to do with it. Scale is everything.
What was the original proposal slated for? How many workers did Foxconn originally promise to hire? I’m fairly sure it wasn’t 200,000, or even 80,000.
Keep in mind, Foxconn’s mega factories in China all have many lines, manufacturing many different products. The Foxconn facility in Wisconsin was supposed to be more limited in scope, as far as products are concerned (a fairly new concept for Foxconn).
