But terrible things happen there.
Women in China and India are lured in by promises of jobs in the United States, only to find themselves on a remote island, with no way to get home, working at jobs where they make products marked MADE IN USA but lack the normal wage and safety protections of American workers.
Assuming they aren't simply forced into prostitution.
Whether they labor in the factories or in the brothels, some of them inevitably get pregnant -- and are forced to get abortions.
And who can we thank for this state of affairs, all taking place under the Stars and Stripes? Why, the defenders of family values, of course!
Strange side note: as I said, this abuse is mainly suffered by women from the mainland, not native-born inhabitants of the Marianas -- who are mostly of German ethnicity.

Hi John, although some of what you say is true, your post is wrong on several points.
This whole situation is moot anyways.
With the lifting of the garment quota system in 2005, half of the factories have moved back to China. The other half will most likely move back within a year.
It really is a race to the bottom.
