What wonderful news to hear in times like this.

Of course it's great news. However, this is recent history, not current or future events.

I hope other companies will see the value of American workers, but those jobs were created 3 years ago. We need a lot more help and we need it today and in the future as well.

And we need to get O-U-T of that disasterous "NAFTA" too!

How's NAFTA a disaster? I can understand the Canadians and the Mexicans looking at it that way, but your own country's doing pretty well out of it. You're certainly not paying Canada anything like what the lumber and electricity you're importing is worth, for a start.

I would spend some time investigating the claim "Building up America". There could be an another story under the propaganda.
1) What kind of salaries and benefits they pay compared to American manufacturing standards?
2) Where are the cars actually built (I suspect the power trains and major parts come from Korea, India, China and other parts of the world)?
3) What part of the profit actually stays in the US, do they pay regular US business taxes, do they get US government subsidies?
The real story could be that the plant is actually contributing to liquidation of US own car manufacturing base and lowering salaries for the US car industry workers.
