I thought illegals are only doing the jobs Americans won’t do.
Quote:
A group of unemployed electricians picketed the CVS/Caremark warehouse building project Tuesday morning to call for more local tradesmen to be hired to work on the $100 million project.
The electricians - seven active and one retired - carried American flags and signs advocating the use of local workers. They were calling attention to the fact that while they are unemployed, seven undocumented Mexicans -- who worked for a subcontractor at the site -- were arrested Thursday on federal immigration administration violations.
"There are extremely qualified workers in this area, but we aren't on this job," said Ernie Eichensehr, 51, of Steuben County. Eichensehr has been an electrician for 30 years but has been off work for a month. His last job, he said, was at the new dormitory project at Elmira College.
Do you get the feeling that this is merely the tip of the iceberg? As things get worse economically, unemployed Americans will become even more emboldened in their demand for the scumbag employers to hire Americans only. I also get the feeling that it's going to get really ugly. The handwriting is on the wall.

What a shame. This goes on all the time though. Personally, I wouldn't want anyone with questionable certification working on any building I owned, especially installing electrical components. I think the owners will probably pay a high price for this in the end.

Indeed they will regret it. When I had electricians work on my house, I demanded to see their license before any work was done. Electricity is nothing to play with.
