Geee Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 CNS News: (CNSNews.com) - U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has granted uniform contracts to VF Imagewear, Inc., an apparel company that relies on manufacturing sites in Mexico for a “significant percentage” of its occupational garments. The latest contract with the company was awarded on Dec. 20, 2012, to make “uniform and insignia items” for the CBP at an estimated cost of $6,157,997.57, and a ceiling of $8 million. The CBP, which is responsible for protecting America’s borders, told CNSNews.com that items from VF Imagewear, a subsidiary of VF Corporation, are manufactured in a number of locations, “including Mexico.” “There are no domestic preference regulations or statutes applicable to DHS/CBP that would prohibit the manufacture of uniform items in Mexico,” the CBP said. “In fact, United States obligations under International Agreements require that the Agency accept items manufactured in Mexico.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Doesn't it help the Border Patrol to create more jobs in Mexico? YUP! Ever notice we don't have a problem on our northern border that we do on the southern border? Could it be because both Canada and the US are both prosperous 1st world nations, and Mexico isn't?
