Airbus recently built a factory in Alabama.

I really liked this quote:
"Boeing, for its part, has dismissed claims by Airbus and Alabama officials of the plant’s economic impact, arguing that the numbers of new jobs that will be created ‘‘pale in comparison to the thousands of US jobs destroyed by illegal subsidies’’ Airbus has received from European governments over the past three decades."
I also read the reason Airbus moved here is because the coating/paint Airbus used to give the AA aircraft that shiny aluminum look (since it is a composite and AA wanted that classic look) violated French EPA laws, so Airbus came here to dump their garbage on American soil.
I liked this quote as well:
"Building jets in Alabama will allow Airbus to take advantage of so-called right-to-work laws, which bar union membership as a requirement of employment. That can hold down employers’ wage and benefit costs. Boeing chose nearby South Carolina, another right-to-work state, for a 787 Dreamliner plant in 2009, its first commercial-jet factory outside the Seattle-area manufacturing hub where the company was founded."
So in other words, they moved here to take advantage of cheap labor.
So a company that takes illegal subsidies is moving to America to pollute our soil and take advantage of cheap labor that has reduced collective bargaining power.
I give you the new America.
