It's a difficult question, because there's both the labor cost difference as well as the environmental cost difference. Plenty of things aren't made in the US anymore simply because the cost of producing them without becoming a superfund site are too high vs a country that's willing to either just designate the whole thing as forever industrial wasteland (or decide that the long term societal damage of pollution is worth the gain at this time). Pragmatically, the sanest thing we might be able to do is find a region of the country that is remote enough in every way and turn it into a free for all industrial park so long as workers aren't exposed to excessive danger.
