However, the end result of this will be to cause a dramatic rise in unemployment here in America because it will almost always be cheaper to move out of the country to take advantage of lower operating costs and reduced wages/benefits offered to employees.

[/QUOTE]Tell that to the nearly 10,000 employees at Mercedes, Honda, and Nissan plus the 10,000's of people who have now found employement around where those people work suppling the companies with items, and their employees with new houses, and the contractors with new cars that they can now afford becuase they have built so many new houses. The bars that have more customers in them. There is no such thing as zero sum gain economics. Once somebody spends a dollar it goes to somebody else to spend and so-forth , and so-forth,and so-forth.
The export of jobs has been an issue since the early 70's, do we have more or less employement? Has the medium income risen or fallen over the years in real dollars? The population has increased and so have jobs.
