IIRC

You don't recall it correctly. Americans shouldn't have to compete with slave labor. Offshoring happened because our government implemented a ton of environmental and worker protection regulations while not requiring foreign companies to meet these regulations. They intentionally priced domestic industry out of the market by doing so. It isn't possible to compete when both hands and both legs are tied behind your back.
