Pride isn't, or shouldn't be, based on nationality. I prefer to buy products that are manufactured in America because of the standardized processes, quality control, and information available pertaining to the materials used. It has nothing to do with me being born and raised in America.
I am not so easily convinced that the global market or strict environmental laws or even illegal immigrants are the reason for there being so many unemployed Americans. I blame America for the amount of unemployed Americans.
Corporate greed and laziness are why things are the way they are. It saves a dollar to outsource, and we the people are willing to buy the poor quality products that result. If we didn't facilitate it, they wouldn't do it. If we were willing to do the crap jobs ourselves, immigrants wouldn't be here knowing they can find work.
We did this to us.
