I don't know. Every boot that I bought that was made in China did not hold up as well as my made in USA Redwings, so I did not take the chance. Also I am just pointing out that just because someone buys Redwings, it does no guarantee that they are 100% US made. Greg
No, the best you can say is that they are the first settlers.
I've been in manufacturing for most of my working life. Same situation here.
It's the sole. Problem is my feet, not the boots. I have somewhat unusual feet.
Or the first ones whose ancestors survived :-).
Here in Washington state there's a big controversy going over "Kennewick Man". His bones resemble no known "native" american tribe, but they're fighting to rebury his bones and deny science the right to study them. Some question their motives :-).
Some say Kennewick Man resembles Jean Luc Picard. Hmmmmm

I was asking a serious question, Kevin. It wasn't clear what yer tryin' to say...and its still not clear.
Are these folks really Mexicans?...Mexican citizens? Or are they of Mexican descent?
Have a nice week...

Real honest to goodness Mexicans from Mexico. There're literally tens of thousands of them here. I'll bet fifty dollars against a doughnut they don't all have green cards. I am not exagerating in the slightest degree. Some of the American sub-contractors are bringing them up here. They live twenty and thirty to a house. They've completely taken over the landscaping labor force with a strong foothold in food service, framing, drywall hanging, masonry and God only knows what else. Think about it like this, when those Mexican carpenters put me out of business, how about if me and my peers come to your town and do certified breast self-exams cheaper than you? Of course I'd have to to do a terrible exam to get it done faster so I can make six bucks an hour and my greedy boss can make 18 or 20. You're either gonna have to cheapen your breast exams or start doing something else. Of course you may be doing it cheaper already. Did I make my point yet? Maybe it's time for me to take a trip down to tiajuana and get me a busload of trim laborers. Give them a bunch of saws without guards and nail guns without the safety mechanism put them up in a two-bedroom slum somewhere and put em to work. Seems to be working for some folks. This has all happened in the space of about seven years. Like I said I have nothing personal against these guys (the mexicans. I have plenty against their "bosses") they're hard working sob's. I just wish they'd go work hard someplace else.

1988 was when the formal strategy went into effect:
by Natl Conf of Catholic Bishops
Americans welcome people of "all nations" as a fulfillment of "E Pluribus Unum."
The problem arises when a foreign, pernicious, and identified 99.4% pedophile evil has it all "arranged" in order to usurp the culture and sovereignty of the Republic our blood has been poured out to preserve.
No point in running from a fight. Annuit Coeptis: Divine Providence will smile on our endeavour...that our children be neither slaves nor slavemasters.

TIAFT, Lassa.
Around 1973, I watched someone drag a large (and very ugly, but this was the '70s) vase back from Romania. Handing it down the stairs of the coach, back home in England, it was turned upside down for the first time - revealing the "Made in Birmingham" mark.
Seems that Romania always had a big trade with Brum. The local word for doorlock is "yahle", a corruption of the well-known Midlands firm "Yale".

Thanks for the explanation, Kevin. That adds a lot of light to the problem yer havin'.
We don't have nearly the problem yer havin' here in the Mideast.
I guess I don't understand how our country can let all this happen.
Have a nice week...

The issue isn't really Mexicans or any other nationality. The issue is (partly) the fact that cheap, shoddy construction is seemingly the norm, even in some upper end houses. Corporations/businesses seem to be going for the biggest bang for the buck, irregardless of all the other factors. I thnk it's spelled g-r-e-e-d.
