Oddly, in 2007 US manufacturing was the highest in our history.

Where did you get that from? Just curious.
Yes, foreign automakers have moved plants here, but numerous US plants have closed. There are things that are barely made int he US anymore. Besides, even with the Toyota, Hyundai and other US based foreign owned plants, the workers make a lot less than UAW plants. While the UAW plant workers are (in some cases) overpaid, the others are underpaid.
