New U.S. address in Foxconn's future? Not Likley

I caught this story on Digitimes stating that Foxconn was thinking about expanding in the US and woudl be setting up a factory in Detroit or LA.  While I think this might be a good thing I highly doubt it will ever happen.  

The reporter at CNet tends to agree.

With unemployment close to 8 percent, you can understand why this headline would grab peoples' attention. A story in Digitimes reports that Foxconn is scouting prospective sites in the United States for future manufacturing plants.

I was skeptical about this story -- which talks about production of LCD TVs, not iPhones -- and that might have been the end of it.

But maybe it's not quite as crazy as it seems. A spokeswoman for Foxconn told me in an e-mail that the company "already has multiple facilities based in the U.S." but she also went on to say that "there are no current plans to expand our operations there at this time." 

It wouldn't have ever worked out anyway, Americans are too expensive   I mean just look at the old 80's film Gung Ho that explored the Japanese take over of the American car industry.
