While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG).

He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA).
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today.

After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.

At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while.

    Illegal aliens rewarded with green cards - license to steal American jobs
LOS ANGELES -- Thai immigrants who were freed seven years ago from slave-like working conditions at a sweatshop have been granted permanent residency. The Immigration and Naturalization Service recently notified the 71 immigrants of their new legal status and will provide green cards within six months, attorney Julie Su said.
"I am happy, happy, happy," Sirilac Rongsakare said outside a Los Angeles garment factory.
After the raid, the workers filed lawsuits to collect years of back pay, eventually receiving more than $4 million in settlements. Since the Thai workers were freed, 22 have married and given birth to 18 babies. Most remain in the Los Angeles area sewing, cleaning homes and working at restaurants. - (Invasion)

    NAFTA: El Paso jeans maker to lay off 1,200 - sends jobs to Mexico
Aztec WranglerEL PASO -- VF Jeanswear, the company that makes Lee and Wrangler jeans, will close two plants in December and May and layoff about 1,200 employees. In the last year, VF has already laid off more than 1,000 El Paso workers in a push to cut costs. Most of the layoffs were from the two plants now being closed.
Weak jeans sales this year and expected slow sales next year led the jeans maker once again to cut its work force in the United States and shift more production to VF's lower-cost factories in Mexico, Honduras and Costa Rica
