Synopsis: This pair of sneakers was custom designed by artist-activist Judi Werthein especially for migrant workers crossing the border between Mexico and the U.S. She distributes the sneakers for free at border towns, and uses the procedes from sales to non-workers to help support the migrants in their efforts to establish themselves in this country. The symbol of the Mexican eagle is sewn onto the side of each shoe and the American eagle engraved on the quarter dollar is sewn onto the toe. The shoe's insole is printed with a map of the border region, and a compass and mini-flashlight allow the wearer to navigate the terrain night and day. Every pair of these self-conscious and consciousness-raising multiples is embroidered with a full disclosure of their manufacturing conditions: "this product was manufactured in China under a minimum wage of $42 US a month working 12 hour days."

So many things wrong with that. I really like this part.

"this product was manufactured in China under a minimum wage of $42 US a month working 12 hour days."

I guess next she will be making some water shoes for those poor China workers to walk across the ocean with secret maps on how and where to enter the US.

Just had a thought. Maybe I could invent a picnic basket for the illegals. Y'know....just PBJs and juice boxes along with your typical fake SSNs, worker's visa, the works. If I can keep overheads under control I could set the price at around 2,400 and still see a nice profit.
