Sorry, that's just dreamland. Walk through ANY shop in the USA, ANY supermarket, heck almost anything anywhere. What is the ratio of USA made goods to foreign made goods. What is the price difference?
USA's financial position absolutely depends upon goods manufactured through cheaply sourced foreign labour. If USA closed its trade borders the price of most things in the country would multiply four-fold at the least, and the country would enter a depression faster than a USA made car falling apart.
