News 8 found they’re from Mexico, the Philippines and Chile, among other places. They have been brought specifically to the United States to work for San Antonio Aerospace (SAA). News 8 followed a special bus San Antonio Aerospace, used to pick up foreign workers every morning. Workers riding on the bus were from the Philippines. The workers, who wouldn’t say how much money they make, are part of a stream of imported mechanics brought to this country at cut-rate wages, according to several sources familiar with the business.

Well he is President and apparently that means he is responsible for everything done by anyone in our country every minute of every day. It really is a burden.

Well...you KNOW those are jobs that Americans don't want to do.

We are going to have to take a stand one of these days against this crap and it needed to be done YEARS ago when Reagan's amnesty push was on.

I'm not surprised this company is in San Antonio, Texas. Texans are the numero uno exploiters of foreign labor and don't even care if they are legal or not. Don't stand in the way of easy money and a bunch of Texans because you'll be in a Texas stampede.
