While I don't want to get into a debate about this, doesn't it seem a little specious to say that by underbidding the American companies, the Korean company "put Americans out of work?" Or to take the nationality out of the picture, if Company A underbids Company B on a contract, do Company B's employees now get to blame Company A for putting them out of a job?
BMW isn't an American company anyway, so I'm not sure what the argument is here. If this has been GM using Hyundai for suspension components, though, I would think the appropriate entity to complain about would be GM, not Hyundai.
If competition is the "American way" and I have a right to try to make my employer's operation more efficient so we can offer a better value to our customers, I don't see why that right shouldn't be extended to other companies, too...
BMW isn't an American company, but don't you think the products they sell here could be made here? The USA, after all, has the market everybody wants.
