Why are Herman Cain's political t-shirts made in Honduras?

Shouldn't they be made in America, to support American jobs?

Update:

EDIT: I'm well aware the secret service bought two buses from Canada: one for the president and one for the GOP nominee. Perhaps you're missing my point about which "issues" conservatives get worked up over?
