It still makes sense.
Workers with visas won't be taking all the jobs.

We have a lot of foreign born doctors, but we still have a lot of US born doctors.

Come to think of it....that's always been the answer.
I think it is good to have manufacturing jobs within the US.
But, meanwhile, people who might lose those jobs can look to a brighter future. There will be openings even in unskilled jobs, as many workers will be stepping up into skilled jobs.
