labor while preferring to do the highly-skilled manufacturing and processing with native laborers. It keeps the high value jobs at home and keeps the workforce competitive.

They also take the long view, whereas, US corporations only look out quarter to quarter - in order to keep profits growing in stagnant or shrinking markets you have to cut costs and labor is a big chunk of change for a lot of companies. (I work for a small market research firm - labor makes up 65% of our expenses.)

I totally agree with your thoughts on corporations running this country - unfortunately for them, they will do no better under this admin and will likely to worse when they find an undereducated, unmotivated workforce here in the states.
