I would prefer that Apple, and in fact every company operating in the US, do all their manufacturing right here in the US. The story goes that US employees would refuse to work for low wages so product prices would increase. I would be okay with with paying higher prices for 100% domestic manufactuered goods though, as the social benefits would be immense. But I'm in the minority.

However what we would then see is the liberal outcry that jobs are being taken away from non-domestic workers overseas for whom unemployment may have much worse ramifications.

There is no win-win situation. Even if you replaced all manual labor with robots you would still have unions complaining.
