Thread: Senate Passes Bill to Extend U.S. Immigration Laws to CNMI

[i]Senate Passes Bill to Extend U.S. Immigration Laws to CNMI
Why is this important?

because Saipan has become the “backdoor to Americaâ€

I think this is high time


If Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands can no longer admit so many sweatshop workers perhpaps the US Territories can get the designation "made in the USA" again.


I wonder if the minimum wage was also effected. The CNMI being so isolated need some sort of incentive in order to obtain full employment for their citizens. I guess one thing they an claim is an abundance of factory shells compared with their native population.


With the Commonwealth taking such obscene advantage of a loophole it should not be possible for it to keep an asset that is so damaging to us.

Yes, good points Richard.

And, if you all will remember, one of the first things that Nancy Pelosi tried to do when assuming her current job, was to try to write in a special tax break to tuna producers located in the Marianas islands. This is widely thought to be a subsidiary or affiliate company of Del Monte Foods (based in, yep, you guessed it, San Francisco CA).
