The thing that no one's mentioning in these press releases that should be discussed: robotics.
Moving a plant here doesn't equate to moving manufacturing jobs here. The traditional fear of manufacturing in the USA has been high cost of labor including possible strikes.
If plants are able to replace bulk labor with robots, and have the rest of their labor be engineering-type roles, they'll have no problem moving here.
But it won't bring thousands of jobs, maybe hundreds, although they will be better paid.
