One of many chapters of the Jack Abramoff/Tom DeLay scandal is the story a
bout the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a U.S. Commonwealth in the eastern Pacific Ocean. As a quick review, over the last twenty years the CNMI has built a huge garment industry, almost entirely owned by big business tycoons from Asia, and staffed not by island natives, but by Filipinos, Chinese and Malaysians recruited under a “guest worker” program.

Even better for the Asian tycoons, the clothing made there and sold by major retailers is allowed to bear the “MADE IN USA” label.
