People who ignore our borders/immigration laws are undermining our sovereignty regardless of what they may do once they get here.

Believing that we should have a border isn't isolationism. Anyway; I'd doubt that Ford would try to sell a basic Mustang or Mustang GT for $100,000 regardless of where it was built. Plenty of vehicles from various car companies are built in America, and I don't think many of them cost $100,000 or more.
