25. Why is a Toyota built in Kentucky more "foreign" than a Ford
built in Mexico? Just because of the name on the grille?

It is true that since Toyota is a Japanese company most of the profits (which it has in abundance) go back to Japanese managers and stockholders, while the profits (if there are any) of the Big Three would go to American managers and stockholders. From a worker's point of view what should matter is your compensation and working conditions (not where the profits go), while from a car owner's point of view what matters is the value you get for your money.
