When an import is sold in the United States, yes, a percentage goes towards the employees and the dealership. The vast majority of the money from that purchase goes straight to whatever country that company is based in.
In GM's/Ford's/Chrysler's case, whatever money is left over from paying employees and paying for parts stays in the United States. And seeing as how most of GM's assembly facilities and most of GM's parts are sourced from the US, most of that money stays in the US.
