Biden to Restrict ‘Buy American’ Waivers
2/22/2021
By Jon Harper
 

President Joe Biden recently issued a new “Executive Order on Ensuring the Future Is Made in All of America by All of America’s Workers.”

The directive will put waivers to “Buy American” laws in government contracting under additional scrutiny, although it’s unclear how impactful it will be when fully implemented, experts say.

“With this order, President Biden is ensuring that when the federal government spends taxpayer dollars they are spent on American-made goods by American workers and with American-made component parts,” said a White House fact sheet.

The directive increases oversight of potential waivers to domestic preference laws including through the creation of a centralized review agency. The move is aimed at “fulfilling the president’s commitment to crack down on unnecessary waivers,” the fact sheet said.

Note the order does not say "American workers."  It says by "All of America's Workers ."  Illegal, Chinese, Russian, it doesn't matter if it is made in America.
