It's just not practical.
What is your market going to do for the materials it requires to make computers (some elements can only be found outside the US), what about things you've grown used to like bananas?
What will the buying public do when prices have to go way up because the manufacturers can't keep prices low by exploiting cheap labour outside the US?
The cost of living in the US would skyrocket.
