Comments about ‘Letter: Replace 'Made in China' with 'Made in USA'’

Then I look forward to your vote for Obama, who has been pursuing policies to encourage more domestic manufacturing with success rather than Romney who built his career on dismantling companies and sending jobs and money overseas.

Our manufacturing business' have been forced to leave this country or close their doors by excessive regulations and taxes, union demands (not wages) and lawyers satisfying our sue-happy society. If we want them back we would have to level the playing field. Most of us are opposed to that.

So do we believe in the free maket system or the dreaded socialism?

If you think that "Made in America" is good then perhaps even better would be "Made in America by legal labor" would also be good. How about, "These hotel rooms made up by legal American workers. I could go on with more, but you get the point.

Hiring illegal foreign labor is actually more costly to the American workers and the taxpayers than purchasing Chinese products. Manufacturing done in China is actually less costly to Americans and the taxpayers than if the same manufacturing were done in the USA, because if it is done here by illegal labor the taxpayers have to pick up the medical, educational, and other social. costs. If done in China they pay these costs. Illegal labor also depresses U.S. wages

U.S. employers could become supporters of legal U.S. labor by using the free government E-Verify program to weed out the new employees that are in the United States illegally. Many employers refuse to use the E-Verify Program, because it is more profitable to hire cheap illegal foreign labor, than American workers. The difference is that much of the illegal labor cannot be exported, such as the hospitality industry.
