According to Adam Smith, writing in 1776, you could grow grapes (or coffee) for that matter in greenhouses. The only difference is scale. There are places in the U.S. where one could grow coffee. It might be more expensive and of poorer quality than Columbian, but it would be American grown coffee.

I know of exactly zero, (to arbitrarily many decimal places) American young women who aspire to work in a sweatshop. If we insist on wearing American made apparel it will be much more expensive, with fewer choices, and less value and quality for the money.

Protectionism is for losers. I like winners.

What < expletive deleted > you are. Nobody aspires to to that work but maybe that is the work that is available and it's what they can do instead of being on public assistance. You are a haughty POS and why Trump is going to take your state.

This what gives Republicans a bad name people like you. Your holier than though POS attitude. There is no type work beneath me I'd shovel sh!t before taking welfare. There is nobility in all work.

Cyber spit in your face. Find a new party.

Tariffs do not make someone buy only American.

Why do you think American business people will create “sweatshops” to make mandatorily purchased American-made clothing?

You appear to have a very dim view of American business men and women.

What conditions do you think illegals are living in within the US, now, when working for US businesses? Perhaps your dim view is best suited to Chamber of Commerce-supporting, illegal-loving, labor use and not those businesses that operate legally.
