Old Glory - Foreigners need not apply in Minnesota.

A move is under way in state governments across the country to ensure that all flags in the US are made in the United States.

A new law that starts at the end of this year in Minnesota requires every flag sold in the state to be domestically produced.

Violations of this law could give you a $1,000 dollar fine or put you in jail.

The US Census Bureau estimates more than five million dollars worth of U.S. flags were imported from other countries last year.
