According to the OP, that seems to be the case.

But you're missing the point. The point isn't that the only Americans who do low paying jobs are drugged out kids. The point is that at THIS supposed place of exploitat....errr.... "business," the conditions and wages are so bad that ONLY drugged out kids seem to be applying. Or illegals. It's like that poultry factory that was raided a couple months back. Once the "Hispanic" workforce was removed, Americans were lined up to get the newly available positions!!

What bothers me is that it's a generic pharmaceutical company doing this where the OP is employed
As far Americans not caring about illegal immigration, here's an article that proves otherwise:

No Amnesty — Now or in Two Years | Center for Immigration Studies

". . . 70 percent of likely voters want local cops to help enforce immigration laws and also oppose taxpayer funds for day-labor sites for illegal aliens" for example.

Perhaps AZBear can shed some light on the legislation in Arizona with which business owners are trying to trick AZ residents also discussed in the article. Did this pass?

Again... I know he didn't mean to write it that way. Written quotes or quoted people require a few """""""" Otherwise it can be misinterpreted or appear to be the authors own quote!

Fox caught quite a bit of flak from American Blacks for the below comment:

Quote:
Fox discussed the role that many Mexican immigrants occupy in the U.S. economy.

Speaking in Spanish, he said, "There is no doubt that Mexicans, filled with dignity, willingness and ability to work, are doing jobs that not even blacks want to do there in the United States."

I know that the attitude of the radicals in this forum is to not listen to any

conquer this recesion that George Bush and his clown circus have created.
I can't believe anyone would believe such a load of B.S. story as this... first, its a PHARMA company... I assume a company that makes drugs? Half of the them are, per the OP, illegal immigrants... what educational background would allow an illegal immigrant to make pharma drugs? So then here we are... what jobs could these people be doing? Janitorial work? Pill counters? So they are telling you, they can't peddle drugs because they can't find reliable pill counters? Janitors? Story smells a lot like bull**** then the OP goes on to say these workers have higher output? Output of what? Pushing pills into a container? Apparently the OPs Pharma company is either a work of fiction or one of the most incompetent Pharm company in the country and if so, they deserve to be shut down...

In other words, your ONE company is representative of ALL employment in this country.

I managed a major government contract comprised of a large workforce of legal Hispanics, and can personally attest to the fact that they are no better or worse than any other group of employees. They ranged from exemplary to pathetic. Of course, the pathetic didn’t last long. I scheduled employees for random drug screening, and there was no predominant race/ethnicity with positive results. Nice try, but I’m not buying it.

I manage a work force of 200. approx 40% is black
Approximately 0% is illegal.

Last two random drug screens we have pulled was 100% negative.

I have every thing from no high school degree to masters degree working for me..............

Guess this is not indicative for the "average" work force huh.

Yada, yada, yada and etc. The same old same old being regurtitated by people who think everyone is stupid and doesn't know the truth out there. I am sorry but I have not found that more white people do drugs than Hispanics or any other ethnicity or race out there. You are race baiting and trying to start trouble with nothing but an opening post that does not tell the whole truth at all. It sickens me when I see posts such as your because I know in my heart how you have skewed anything and everyrhing to make it look like all Hispanics are just wonderful people. They are not all wonderful, as not all whites are and etc. Want to know something? Hispanic teens happen to be the highest majority of new HIV cases in this country because the parents just won't teach them to have safe sex.
