This is so freakin ironic I HAD to say something. Our Border Patrol on the US/Mexico border now have new uniforms. Guess where they're made! That's right - in Mexico! ha! http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0611uniforms11.html
A snip from the article:
Some agents are irate and said they are amazed and embarrassed to find that their new orders for green shirts and trousers - and maybe other uniform items - are being filled with articles of clothing manufactured south of the border.
It is an ironic twist, they said, for the agency whose job it is to patrol the U.S.-Mexico border.
"I just received a half-dozen new shirts, pants - and the labels all say they are made in Mexico," said Rich Pierce, a Tampa-based agent and executive vice president of the 16,000-member National Border Patrol Council, the agents' union. "Why can't we have uniforms made in the U.S.? What's next? Shipping our Border Patrol jobs to the Mexicans? The other agents I've talked to all think this is some bad joke."
