Those jobs don't exist overseas either, right? If the factory can be automated, it will be. The win is potential tax revenue, less IP theft, and less national security risk, no?

and as a bonus you can sell it for years to voters as creating jobs
Jobs do exist overseas, because labor is cheaper overseas. The more expensive labor is, the stronger the economic incentive to automate it.
