A decade later, lobbyist with cash money, once again greased the palms of our honest/wonderful politicians and got the law to include South America as well. So now when you hear "Made in America" that's includes anywhere in North or South America.
I don't really care where my stuff is made if the quality is there and the price is right. Things being more or less equal I will buy American but I'm not gonna pay double for something of the same or lesser quality for the made in USA sticker.
