Louisiana has not been shy about their intent for the federal government to create special visas for unlimited number of foreign workers and exempt from wage/ hours laws, Payroll Taxes, transport, housing etc. They claim US workers will not do these jobs.
Most states have chosen not to make eVerify of all employees a state law. Those states that have, created known loopholes for employers- the law does not apply to independent contractors and all employed before the law were exempt. More importantly, most of these states have no budget or intention to enforce the state law.
Employment of undocumented people is bipartisan.
It is a Democrat (and corporatist Republican as I clarified in a subsequent post) line. But let's be clear. The only ones speaking out against this today seem to be Republicans as democrats today seem any action that would undermine illegal immigration as racist
Let's see - 600 openings and 25-30 people showed up for the job fare????
Doesn't sound "debunked" to me. Sounds like few Americans want those kinds of jobs.
Probably why the plant hired illegal aliens last time. It was probably either that, or not have enough workers to keep the plant open - in which case EVERYONE there (including AMERICANS) would lose their jobs.
25 people showed up - not exactly much considering almost 700 were needed.
It's a start. These 25 people who showed up are some of the remaining who were not displaced because of no jobs available in that area. Had these illegals not been removed, those 25 who showed up wouldn't have been given a chance for work.
About 25 to 30 people showed up to apply for jobs at Koch Foods' nearby poultry processing plant. Of those, about an equal number were black, white or Latino.
"This is what you'd normally see here," said Dianne Bell, communications director for the Mississippi Department of Employment Security, of the job fair held between 9 and 11 a.m.
So no change. This seems to disprove your point rather than the opposite.
680 job openings, 30 applicants.
