A rhetorical question and one that might set aside any political opinion.

In general, if an oil filter has a strong burst-resistant steel canister, a strong filter element with supported pleats, end caps/seam that are sealed tight and the capture efficiency (particle size retention) that meets your criteria....

would it really matter if it was made overseas.

That was exactly my point earlier when I said I don't care where it's coming from as long as it's quality. And with laws today that vary from state to state allowing companies to plaster "made in USA" on their products because they are doing some process here really waters down the "made in USA" statement.

There are very few businesses in this country anymore that do everything in house from start to finish, especially in the car industry.

This. I've gotten plenty of things that were made in the U.S. that were junk, and plenty of things that were made overseas that were fantastic quality. It's case-by-case, and just depends on the item in question.

Just received a case from RA and they look and seem to weigh the same as my old ones. I might have to cut one open to compare now...
