I think thats a very simplistic view.

Yes labor is cheaper in Asia. But the other factor is the availability of a certain kind of labor force. You need a lot of people that are highly skilled to operate these facilities. There isn’t that kind of workforce available in NA today.

I think you're right and I'm not wrong. Wile picking apart the complexities, the drive to maximize profit will be a factor popping up again and again.
