The problem isn't so much with the actual manufacturing aspect, but with the SUPPLY CHAIN. A vast majority of components that go into any product are manufactured outside the US. In order to establish manufacturing here, parts have to be imported from overseas, which becomes cost prohibitive. It will take years to re-establish a local supply chain that would make it cost effective to manufacture in the US again.
And yet foreign manufacturers like Kia (in West Point, GA) are able to cluster their suppliers around that massive plant in pretty short order.

And its too bad the UAW didn't allow suppliers to do the same at their manufacturing facilities.
They've never been able to look at the big picture when it came to job creation.
