Also I want to add a note here.. but when I talk about illegals taking American jobs I think it's important for people to know what I'm talking about....
Back in the 90's I moved from the city to a rural area to provide my children what I thought would be a better learning environment - smaller classroom sizes ect and fewer negative influences in their lives...
I was a nurse and nurses have always been able to get work anywhere but I did end up after leaving a job taking a temporary reprieve.
During that couple months I took a job at a local convenience store as I was deciding whether to drive back and forth to the city every day at what has been a dream job, or work in a position at the local hospital instead.
What I saw there shocked me beyond words. Let me make this very clear - it's heartbreaking to see.
The area was heavy with manufacturing at that time... There was Tyson plants, an egg factory, the place that manufactured hams to sell in the stores (I forget the name of that company) there was a battery manufacturer with government contracts, a foundry where they made aluminum oil pans and the like for CAT, the crock pot manufacturer Rival, a boat manufacturer and more.
The whole area was manufacturing and farming.
So at any rate I'm working in the convenience store and like clockwork every day, the second I opened up the door the trucks would come.
These trucks were people haulers... There was a white guy who appeared to run the show, and the truck's were full of illegals who didn't know any English at all .. not one word.
Each illegal was given a 5 dollar bill by the driver's and allowed to go into the store and purchase some breakfast and coffee or whatever they wanted to have.
When I say these men knew no English, I'm talking to the point they had no way of even knowing whether they were getting the correct change back.. they were literally having to go on trust.
As soon as everyone checked out they loaded them up and took them to Tyson for work.
These men, each and every one, were slaves. They were treated like slaves, and kept watch over.
By the way - the government doesn't care.
Tyson did not pay. Their token whites made minimum wage (unlike other manufacturers in the area) and God only knows what they gave those men - but it WASN'T minimum wage.
For fun I guess the government would go through periodically, once every couple years or so, and fine Tyson for employing illegals, Tyson would pay the fines (apparently it was cheaper than paying Americans) and the next week would be back to business as usual with a new round of illegals.
One of the manufacturers there (my son's first job) had been locally owned by a family, but when the old man died the kids sold to a foreign company.
The wages were neither high nor low when it was family owned - kind of in the middle there for area manufacturing but it had been an excellent company and they had all kinds of perks like pensions for their employees who worked for them all their life.
When it sold to the foreign company everyone who qualified for pension was fired first. Then before the first year was up all the locals that had worked there had by and large been fired, and were all replaced with the illegal train just like Tyson ran.
I didn't work for the convenience store long, probably just 2 months, but people talk, and when manufacturing is that important to an area you know exactly how each company runs their ship...
Everyone knows which companies hire citizens and which ones refuse to in favor of shipping in the illegals, who pays and so on. (Rival preferred hiring felons, for instance, prior to their closing shop) Each company really does have their thing...
But the whole slavery thing with illegals is first of all, completely unnecessary - it's a business decision based on saving money...
There's not going to be a shortage of workers at the Tyson plants, for example, if they started hiring citizens instead of shipping in illegals.
Vegetables aren't going to rot in fields if there's no illegal slaves to pick them.
These systems some of these companies run with illegals are first of all completely unfair to the illegal workers themselves... There's no workman's comp if they get hurt on the job, and zero protection to keep them out of modern slavery...
And make no mistake we fought a civil war over slavery, and these illegals are being used for slaves.
I have seen it with my own two eyes...
Second this is completely unfair to American citizens who can't compete in a job market that's full of actual slaves..
I 100% will never buy Tyson because that I refuse to support with my business such activities... It just makes me sick.
and ANY government official who tries to justify this with stupid idiotic remarks about vegetables rotting in fields can (grrrrrrr... Time to take a breath.. )
I'm serious this is sickening what these companies are doing - and they are doing it IN the United States for goodness sake in the modern day.
And then sit around on television giving pathetic excuses as if people can't see what's happening in front of their very eyes!
And the governments cut of this racket is to periodically fine them... Fees which are factored into running the business as if it's protection money for the mob!
So... This is my opinion - stop this and stop it now...
