The US relies on items made by cheap off shore labour. If you move the manufacturing of those cheap items to the US, the companies will now have to pay a higher wage (in theory, who knows what this govn't will do next) and won't that drive up the price of the item?

It's not just cheap offshore labour, it's also efficiency, supply chains, and scale. Many things will never be as cheap to make in the US regardless of labour costs
