If the government really saw China as a threat, wouldn’t they be moving heaven and earth to secure our borders and reshoring our manufacturing base instead of relying on our enemy to supply us?
Two things, national defense and immigration are two different issues and are different politically, democrats not wanting to end the immigration that they created doesn’t mean that national defense gets totally ignored when it becomes obvious that something has to be done, there are different voices on different issues not a smooth flow and harmony where the party in office is equally committed to all things and represent the issues of both parties.
The border is one fight and this late to the party recognition that has been forced on America about weapon manufacturing is another.
As far as American made, isn’t this article about domestic manufacturing?
