If only people would stop buying products from companies that outsource production. That's the ONLY way to stop it.
I am going to start a list.

Another big company is laying off workers and moving the J-O-B-S to Mexico.
This time it's the famous well known company Nabisco.
Workers are furious.
Apparently negotiations between the Company and the Union broke down and the Contract has expired !!!!
When will somebody stop this mania?
Nabisco Workers Uprise Over Layoffs As Jobs Move To Mexico
Nabisco workers on Chicago’s Southwest side protest on Wednesday over hundreds of impending layoffs.
Mondelez International plans to layoff 600 employees, and move those jobs to Mexico. 200 Nabisco workers say they have already received pink slips.
For more than a century, Nabisco has produced several popular products, like Oreos.
Negotiations between the union that represents Nabisco workers and Mondelez broke down earlier this week, and the contract has expired.

How about the Government make it more cost effective to keep the jobs in the states?

Yes its really simple other countries do it. Germany for example problem is when your the number one economy in the world countries go berserk. Even the EU had an external teriff but they say its to get people to join the EU. But there's a catch if your a country like say China or India or even mexico you can't join the EU. Now if I were president I wouldn't throw up tariffs however right now US law is crazy it allows companies to deduct the expense of moving from their taxes. So the US govt picks IP the tab for relocating overseas. This is at the very least an insane policy. I believe companies taxes should go up for moving jobs not get a deduction.
The other thing I would do is require labeling as to where its manufactured and then start a vuy amarica campaign. If it was easy for people to see mist would make the right choice. If I was buying shampoo for example and I see one made in amarica the other China and it only costs a couple of extra dollars I'd do it. When sales slow in the US market you will see retailers running back to open up factories to show it made in amarica. Now their is no incentive they can save money on manufacturing and make bigger profits. Hurt their bottom line and things change.

You bring up a good point. The industrial revolution improved a lot of people's lives but I also think it made many people too dependent upon the system. When agriculture ruled the day, you could be poor and still feed yourself by in large as long as you had some land. Nowadays, people are dependent upon being able to earn money and purchasing their food. People no longer know how to take care of themselves.
I've often wondered if this will be down fall of civilization.

Well said,
Americans can't fairly compete head to head with a foreign country that has a significantly lower cost of living.

Mr. Trump addressed that today.
He said if company X moves to Mexico he will slap a 35% import tax on their product(s).
hmm...
