Is it an American company if 33% of the workers in this company ( based in America) are people from other countries with work visa's, working for 1/2 the price of local labor ? Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | ||

So many companies are truly global now it can get murky. I work for a Fortune 50 company that employs thousands all over the world. Executives transfer between operating divisions and internationally. ----------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

| The success of a solution usually depends upon your point of view |
We are headquartered in NJ and are considered an American company but we have companies and division all over the world. As with Sig209, our employees at all levels transfer internationally. “We truly live in a wondrous age of stupid.” - 83v45magna "I think it's important that people understand free speech doesn't mean free from consequences societally or politically or culturally." -Pranjit Kalita, founder and CIO of Birkoa Capital Management | |||

To the OP's question - I say Yes. The company and the workers are paying state and federal taxes that help keep my retirement checks coming.  Whether or not a particular US-based company is a benefit to our economy, labor force, etc., is another question that depends on specifics. | |||

The only true American companies are companies whose only people outside of the US are sales/marketing people. For the most part, while multinational companies may claim they are American don't really operate or see themselves as American companies. They see themselves as transnational companies whose stock happen to trade on an American securities board. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

| No double standards |
Not a company issue, rather a car issue. I had a Dodge Caravan, most parts came from Mexico and Japan, all the assembly was done in Canada, imported to the US as finished goods. It was deemed an American car. I had a Nissan pickup truck, built in Tennessee, a goodly portion of the parts came from the US. It was a foreign car. The difference is the UAW represents Chrysler workers but not Nissan workers. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||
