The main argument AGAINST offshoring is that the offshore vendor becomes a competitor.
Example: You make a product in the USA for $10 and sell it for $20. You find an offshore vendor who will make it for $5. Great! Now you make it for $5 and sell it for $20. In 2 years, another offshore firm is selling a copy for $4.
