What if I can show you plants that relocated from China or Mexico or some other low-wage country while Obama was president? Hint: I can.
And not only can I show you that plants moved from China or Mexico while Obama was president, I can also show you that in spite of the news today, American car companies are still shifting production overseas.
Months after Ford Motor Co. earned the praise of President-elect Donald Trump by canceling construction of a plant in Mexico to build the Focus, the automaker announced another big change of plans: Production of the next-generation Focus will be moved to China instead of Mexico, and Ford will import the Chinese-made cars to the U.S.
This marks the first time Ford will import Chinese-made vehicles to the U.S. Ford says the change in plans will save the company $1 billion.
The automaker said Tuesday it will start production in the second half of 2019 on the new model at its Changan facility in Chongqing, China. The North American model is currently manufactured at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, where it will stay until mid-2018.

This is old news. They reported on this.last year. They are moving truck production here and car production to Mexico. If you read the link, they increased car production in Mexico last year.
Did you read the article? They are not closing the Mexico plant and moving production to the US. They are simply moving the models built in the Mexico plant to Michigan, and re-purposing the Mexico plant to some other production. That is, all they're doing is shifting models around.
You're a butt hurt person...you should take meds....really...
Made in the U.S.A. is hot again, and the number of manufacturing jobs that are returning to the U.S. — or coming to the U.S. for the first time — from overseas has hit a record level.
Sixty thousand manufacturing jobs were added in the U.S. in 2014, versus 12,000 in 2003, either through so-called reshoring, in which American companies bring jobs back to the U.S., or foreign direct investment, in which foreign companies move production to the U.S., according to a study from the Reshoring Initiative. In contrast, as many as 50,000 jobs were “offshored” last year, a decline from about 150,000 in 2003.
There is no reading and weeping, you're butt hurt because you failed to present all this while your savior obama was the president.
I'm sorry, you're easily offended, maybe you need a safe space?
