I agree with your basic point, but but both the Camry and Sienna
are made in Toyota plants inside the U.S.A., I believe. I just made a net
run looking into this and saw in one netsite information claiming
at least 50% of the Toyotas sold in the US were built in the US. I also
suspect that a lot of Ford and GMC auto parts are not US made. I'd rather it
did not, but the worlds economy constantly mutates and workforces must
change also. We badly need to keep
some seed industries inside the nation, though, just in case we get into
wartime supply difficulties.

I don't believe that there are many, if any, cars that are made in
____ anymore. I think they are all international.
Back to the issue, as to the foreign owned companies in the USA, while
some of their money is being fed back to the locals, the majority of
the money goes overseas to their bank accounts or other foreign
purchases.
Unfortunately, there is no easy solution that won't hurt someone here
in the US. Tariffs would raise our cost of living something terrible,
blocking imports will cause a higher demand in relationship to supply
causing another price increase. Instead of profit sharing, union
workers want higher wages.
There is no easy solution. What helps one group will certainly hurt
another.
