These contracts were granted to companies in China, Romania, Sri Lanka, India, South Africa and Canada.
American workers make the finest products on the planet.
And, American workers have families to nurture and raise. The Department of Defense has made a terrible mistake that I can not ignore. Workers and companies in Mississippi, not Communist China, should be receiving the contracts provided by our Department of Defense. Over the 1990 s, several thousand apparel and manufacturing jobs in the 4th Congressional District of Mississippi were moved to Mexico and Canada by their corporate interests. When our families need and deserve good jobs its hard to accept the fact that our tax money is used, by the Department of Defense, to support jobs in other nations that may very well lead to the loss of jobs in Mississippi and across our nation.
