This defines why the Republican Party is so distressed about Trump.

The bleeding hearts want to save the world.

The builders, restaurant owners, food processors, etc. all want cheap labor.

Trump gets it.

I guarantee you this, if they changed the voting laws to include the rule that you have to be born here to vote this refugee flood would stop tomorrow. And they would stop the flow of illegals across the Mexican border as well.

Does this plant shut the plant down on Christmas? Do they allow employees time during Good Friday to have a priest do the ashes ritual? If so, they are favoring one religion over another.

Which is why manufacturers can't complain about worker shortages. A labor shortage is solved by raising wages.

If they refuse to take the corrective actions to solve the problem they allegedly face, I can only assume that the problem doesn't really exist in the first place.

Just because you think that is the only way it's worth your while doesn't mean other Americans are that unrealistic.
Indeed, you know, I specifically stated that same thing in this very thread.

I didn't say it was "A fair wage"

I said it was what I would work for. There's a big difference.

Words : They mean things.

I say that government and corporations are in bed together. Corporations want cheaper and cheaper labor, and the government wants to turn us into an open border third world they can control.
Kind of strange did people change from the 70's to the late 90's. I am Americans use to do garbage pick up, hotel maids, landscaping, construction, restaurant workers, and assembly line workers, but now some how Americans don't want these jobs. What is more disturbing Americans, mostly older ones believe this sh*t.


Who is making up these lies as if Americans don't want to work!

No we can't do this, we must feel their needs and disrupt production to accommodate their feelings!


I can't think of one boss I had who was worried about how I felt through the day.

Americans want to work, just not for the wages illegals work for. They can work cheap because many don't pay taxes, worry about insurance and tend to live multiple families in single family dwellings.
Illegals only do jobs americans won't is a myth created by the pro-illegal side to justify not enforcing our laws.

Exercise of Religion is a Constitutionally protected right. Cargill has deep pockets. If the workers were smart and organized Cargill would have something to worry about with this policy.

How many Republicans would want to provide amnesty to the 50-70 million illegal immigrants? The vast majority of Democrats want to!

Why can't they pray during their normal breaks? Why do they need an extra break? I know where I work if you do an 8 hour shift you get 2 15 minute breaks and a half hour lunch. Seems to me that gives them 3 chances to pray.
