Congress can. and should. take action to correct this situation. I have introduced legislation. HR 1450the "Insular Fair Wage and Human Rights Act" that would place the CNMI immigration system under federal law. bringing the CNMI into conformity with every other U.S. territory. Further. this legislation will incrementally increase the local minimum wage until it reaches the federal level. and provide that garments only be allowed to bear the "Made in USA" label if all federal laws were adhered to in the manufacture of the garment.
