Time to kick the bird out of the nest.....
Sounds like the bird is old enough to fly on its own.
Stop giving them tax payer welfare and cut them loose.

CNMI, when combined with nearby Guam, could easily be a state. I am not saying it is a good idea, just saying it is possible.
The garment factories were built in the days when "Made in the USA" and "textile quotas" actually meant something. Since China was given most favored nation status for trade, these jobs were going to migrate anyway.
CNMI is concerned with newly minited amnesty visa holders staying on to compete with the locals for tourist jobs which will soon return to being the key industry for the islands. This is a legitimate concern. Unlike our own government, CNMI is actually concerned about the impact of flooding their labor market with more workers from third world countries.
