Talk about generalizing!!! You did it in spades there. No, all Hispanics are not great workers and not all are efficient, as you say. Not all whites are and not all blacks are and not all (put your own ehtnicity or race here or nationality here). I will not not nor would I ever hire any person who can't prove they are here legally. In fact, I won't even hire a person if they are not a citizen of this country. I have 10 people working for me at this time and all are citizens of this country, 3 blacks, 2 Hispanics and5 Anglos.

Slave labor? You cannot enslave the willing who come here on their own accord. Inexpensive, reduced cost, benefits light, no benefits or cheap labor maybe but it is not slave labor.

But do you do drug testing? Would you keep someone who uses illegal drugs that in turn supports the out of control drug trade that everyone in this forum complains about and puts blame on illegal immigrants?

Yeah, they use hispanics who are illegal so they don't have to pay a decent wage and benefits. So what else is new?

I recall a time when I heard these same racists generalizations if in your above statement you replace white with black, hispanic with white and asians with hispanics.

Do you think this recession might have been created due to entrepreneurs hiring illegals at low wages, and no benefits which causes them to use and strain government services while at the same time putting citizens out of work and causing taxes to rise. Add defaulted home loans made to illegals and outsourcing. How long did people think this country could sustain that without spirailing downward?

Therein lies the rub. The wages at this "plant" are so low that the only people applying for the jobs are apparently drugged out kids and illegals.

Doesn't seem like a very nice place to work.


And, btw, I never understood why Americans should care if a company that employs illegals solely or mostly goes out of business? Obviously the benefits are accruing to no Americans.

Only drugged out American kids will apply for low paying jobs?

This last economic 'boom' as a farce anyway: it was in large part propped up by 'slave' labor-----------which basically cut out most Americans. Normally when labor is tight; wages go up but the 'powers to be' went Third World aided and abetted by this last Administration decided their precious 'Yuppies' meant more than regular folks.

Guess what: the chickens are coming home to roost--------------and how!
Wrong again, employees were getting raises based on merit and effort,
in many cases hispanic; legal or illegal were making twice as much as their counterparts.

Yet you feel it is/was OK to knowingly hire illegal aliens.
