I'm going to stop you right here. This statement shows a remarkable lack of understanding about the basic principles of economics, specifically regarding international trade. Trading with other countries HAS NO EFFECT on the number of jobs in the US economy. The unemployment rate is controlled mostly* (not entirely) by macroeconomic policies set by Congress and the Federal Reserve.

Please, please, please do some research about economics before making extraordinary claims like this.
