Absolutely, have to go after the employers too.
One has to hit the TENDEREST spot of a human being: the pocketbook. For those who hire illegals:
-$10,000.00 fine for the FIRST offence;
--double that for the second offense;
---triple...etc.
Folks should look at the labels of products they purchase. STOP buying Chi-com goods.
I realize it's difficult because so much is manufactured in China...but it can be done. I've done it for two decades now.
Appliances in my home are from the U.S., Canada or Messy-co. Furniture purchased at Gallery Furniture in Houston...where they advertise quality American made. My western boots made in Messy-co and so on.
Do I have Chinese made goods in my home...yep. Gotta say though, I always purchase American made when the product is available, sometimes ya just have no choice.
If Americans kept that mindset, check the labels, China would be in a recession by now.
I do the same by buying almost everything used. I get a good deal on the stuff I want, but my money isn’t going to china.
So, when I was still on FB, I went out to Tony Lama site and Justin site...and wrote something like this, “The American Western boot made in CHINA! Are you kidding? I will never ever purchase a cowboy boot made in China”.
Then the FB likes started rolling in from others who didn't realize Tony Lama and Justin shipped these manufacturing jobs to China. Ping ping ping ping.
Not long after, marketing folks from both boot makers tried to stop the bleeding by posting something like, “We at Justin (Tony Lama) are proud of our quality...blah blah blah”.
What in sam hell do the chi-coms know about cowboy boots? A manufacturer knows full well the history behind these boots and the functionality they MUST posses.
I'll take a dirt nap before I'll ever purchase a cowboy boot made in China. Some things are just too sacred. lol
My latest pair...Dan Post! Whew hew.
North Korea is the most evil regime on earth. It could not exist without the support of China. When China no longer supports this murderous regime perhaps we can talk about a phone call between Trump and the democratic leader of Tawain!!!!
