No but those companies employee a LOT of Americans. Fairly well too. And they support a lot of related industry.
BMW, Toyota, Honda. Volkswagen is building a giant new plant, they all have big factories here. Even Kia.
Something like 2/3 of "foreign" cars are built in America. Generally not the engineering and not every single part from start to finish but there's an awful lot of people in the South that are employed by foreign car companies.
Whether GM lays off an employee or Toyota lays off an employee the result is the same, it's still an unemployed American.
