No, automation of the work-force will be the death-knell of manufacturing jobs.
Bringing jobs back from over-seas is a meme. The truth is that a large portion of out-sourced factory work has already been brought back to the states, due to rising wages and safer working conditions in typically cheap-labor countries, as well as increasing price of transporting goods across the globe. You don't hear about these factory jobs coming back to the States though because Americans aren't being hired to work in them... robots are.
In 30 years, there won't be any factory workers. There'll just be a bunch of robots with a small skeleton crew of support staff.

I'm just waiting for some robot politicians. At least they probably wouldn't lie.
Here there's been loads of talk in the media of how the government failed to do anything to stop all the steel production moving to China. There's was talk of subsidies and loads of other stuff. Not one of them addressed some of the key issues. The fact that even if the entire workforce worked for free then the plants still couldn't produce steel cheaper than China. Not because the Chinese workers worked for less but because energy costs and chronic underinvestment in the factories made production prohibitively expensive.
There's always more going on than "OMGZ DEM FORINERS R STEALIN OWR JOBZ"

It's both frightening & fantastic at the same time but IKEA already have totally automated factories that manufactures every single product they make.
The factories themselves are totally dark as there is no need for human supervision at all.

Watching bill Maher's last show and as noted by Tzeen, improving conditions in places like Mexico means there are less and less undocumented workers coming over than say in the 90s (when it was at a high) as well as jobs formerly outsourced coming back.
Watch yourself TI, in 8ish years you could be trying to sneak over Trump's mega-wall to work illegally in Mexico because conditions are more favourable there.

Well hey as long he just uses the excuse of "I wanted a better life for myself" they will overlook it, right?
Which cities in Mexico would you recommend as the best sanctuary cities? I want to know where I'll be able to commit crimes and then be set free to walk the streets. Maybe get myself a few DUI's..I mean tequilla is good shit so..you know, gotta do what I gotta do.

Nice job dodging and backpedal.
Unlike most people here I have actually lived down there. And there will never be a case of Americans flocking to Mexico to work. Never going to happen.

TI's going to have to lay low and do the jobs Mexican citizens in Mexico don't want to do.
