And they're deporting all the immigrants who would take those jobs.

But realistically, if manufacturing actually came back, they'd likely be heavily automated to reduce employee costs.

Automation will be pushed for, but a huge portion of automated machinery comes from China. The US doesn't have the same kind of expansive megafactories needed to meet its own consumption, this will take decades to accomplish even if it works.
