That's an extremely narrow version of global economics. There are tons of benefits to local markets being serviced by local producers, and there are also benefits to being serviced by foreign producers. Also, if you take those jobs away from foreign markets without replacing them (or fixing the labor conditions) how exactly can you see a generation starving and jobless as a net good?
Isolationism doesn't work without completely changing the paradigm, and what you're proposing is basically just saying "Good luck on your own" as if without American corporations these people would immediately shift to some sort of worker's paradise.
