For what it's worth, Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda built plants here because American workers are more productive than their Japanese counterparts. If that wasn't true, they never would have invested the billions of dollars to build the plants and pay the parts suppliers to help make their AMERICAN built cars the best selling cars in the country.

Politics...Its not cheaper to build here its the import taxes that create problems for them, they sidestep by creating the so and so America company, grease the politicians hands and whalla, instant tax breaks and incentives for opening the factory's in repressed areas and nice little tariff import breaks for their sister company in the Motherland....
