It seems there was a little confusion on the affect of the illegal immigration crack down at the Swift and Co meat packing plant. Apparently everything is not going as well as some of you stated.Some Facts:
Swift and Co., whose meatpacking plant was raided on December 12, said this month that the raid could cost the company as much as $30 million.

And farm groups said farmers faced millions of dollars in losses this year if a crackdown against illegal immigration continues without a balancing program to bring in workers legally.

Personally I wouldn't. My brother does construction and KNOWS that the work that they do is substandard.

There is a reason that they can build houses three times faster, and it's not because they are better.

Wow Americans who did those jobs gee whiz. These plaintiffs are ... victims in a longstanding scheme by Swift to depress and artificially lower the wages of its workers by knowingly hiring illegal workers," said their attorney, Angel Reyes. "By lessening its labor costs and increasing its profits, Swift has severely damaged the potential earnings and livelihood of

Many have said, we can not come here within your laws, as they are right now. Ok what would you like to see changed ? Why are our laws to hard to live by ? Is it money, keep in mind it can not be free. Is it paper work, but some paper work has to be done, a good backround check must be done. Is it the time ? well but a good backround check takes time. Is it the cap, on how many from one country ? Keep in mind we have got to have a cap, on how many from a country in a year. Also a good medical check up must be done. So heres your chance, those who say its to hard, tell us why.

Speak about why you feel this is a good idea?
Are you concerned about there being too many?
Are you concerned about too much criminality because of it?
Are you concened about the quality of life going down rather than up?
Do you care if thier presence here causes schools to be less effective.
What is good about these folks being here without any liimits to the numbers that come here?
Some ideas to get you going?

Really, when they come here, you need to let them live in your house. thats the deal. you may not care about YOUR tax dollars going to support them, but the rest of us do. you feed them, you house them, you pay for their ER visits. q: who else agrees?

What if all the money thrown the rat hole on WIC, welfare, food stamps, free medical care, services, public health, law enforcement, jails, child care, etc, etc, etc for the illegals was used for parks, infrastructure, clean energy development and education?

The major case in support of them is that illegal immigrants do the jobs that on one else wants to do. While it IS true that currently, they tend to be doing most/almost all of the unskilled labor jobs in this country, we can't possibly say that it's because no one else will do them....how do we know this if the jobs are already taken by them? Was there ever a time when all of these jobs were simply not being done because no Americans wanted to do them, so they had to start recruiting from Mexico? I doubt it.

Why don't illegal immigrants realize that as long as they are "illegal", they will NEVER be doing anything BUT low paying, unskilled labor jobs. Do they actually have aspirations for a better life in THIS country, or do they just not want to live in THEIRS?

I remember my grandmother saying she would never buy anything made in China or Japan. They came from a time where they had been through the WWII and the great depression. My grandparents knew what the value of life was.

They had a firm understanding that in Japan corporations like Mitsubishi and Kalisaki were using our men when they were POW’s as slave labor to build their corporations. A lot of the men were used to build their bridges and rail roads by hand they didn’t have back hoes or dump truck the men did all the work by hand and they were fed one cup of rice a day. When they came home they look extremely emaciated! As bad as Hitler death camps.

In their time things weren’t as great as they are now. They worked hard for what we have today and they didn’t have any illegal aliens claiming they built America. At this time it seems we are sliding backwards instead of going forward. The illegal aliens will definitely drag us down.

What I fear the most is, if the illegal aliens get the power of the VOTE. You know how cliquey they are. They’ll mass together and take over the countries power and treasures, and you know they come from communist stock.

Americans will be out and the Chicano’s will be in. That’s when Wrong Will Be Right and there will be No Justice and all Security Will Be Gone. Our country will be in an internal War.

Words like rubble, mass murder, bombs, explosions, terror will be in the headlines daily and there will be no power or running water. Only this time it will be us, that will be the terrorist in our own country. We can stop this now or wait for the worst.

Because the pro-illegal alien lobby has a bottomless pit of money and can hire PR people to spin (and fabricate) anything any way, there are an undue number of myths and lies that the public (and many politicians) has bought into. The FACTS are:

1. It is NOT racist to call these people "illegal aliens" In fact, "illegal aliens" is the only term used in federal laws and regulations to describe criminals (and they ARE criminals) who come into our country illegally. They are not illegal immigrants, not undocumented immigrants, not migrant workers, and not day laborers - they're ILLEGAL ALIENS.

2. Mexico is NOT a poor country. By sending its teeming masses to our country, that status keeps on rising. Mexico has more resources per square mile than the U.S. and plenty of money to take care of its own people. Why should the taxpayers of this country subsidize Mexico's corruption?

3. Illegal aliens are NOT necessarily coming here to work. Lou Dobbs recently reported that 33 percent of our prison population is now comprised of non-citizens. Plus, 36 to 42 percent of illegal aliens are on welfare. So, for a good proportion of these people, the American dream is crime and welfare, not coming here to work.

4. Illegal aliens are NOT doing work Americans won't do. What jobs won't Americans do? In most states, Americans still clean their own houses, do their own landscaping, clean hotel rooms, work in restaurants and fast food places, paint houses, DO CONSTRUCTION WORK, work in airports, etc. - just like we have the past 200 years before "our" government allowed these people to invade our country. There are 18 million Americans who cannot find a job, so illegal aliens who are coming here to work do so at peril to American workers.

5. Illegal aliens absolutely do not contribute more than they cost. Certainly the millions in prison and on welfare aren't contributing a dime to our economy, and the ones who are working often are paid in cash with no deductions for taxes at all. The ones who use fraudulent social security numbers and qualify to pay taxes and social security have so many deductions for dependents that they pay little if any taxes. We have seen them pay less than $100 in taxes and get back $4,000 refunds (thanks to earned income tax credits and multiple dependents).Some bargain, eh?

6. The economy does NOT depend on illegal aliens. Sure, greedy CEOs (making $50 to $150 MILLION a year) and business owners depend on illegal aliens, but due to #3, #4 and #5 above, the only thing illegal aliens are contributing to is the collapse of our economy and making the rich richer.

7. Without illegal aliens, the price of agricultural products and other goods and services will NOT soar. The definitive study on this subject is the University of Iowa's "How Much Is That Tomato?" The study concludes that 'since labor is such a small component of the end-price of agricultural products (which includes price to the growers, transportation costs, processing /storage costs, grocers' profit, etc.), using minimum wage workers instead of illegal aliens would increase prices of agricultural products by approximately 3 percent in the summer and 4 percent in the winter ... hardly the making of $10 heads of lettuce, $25 hamburgers, $1,000 per night Days Inn hotel rooms like the pro-illegal alien lobby claims.

8. Consumers are NOT benefiting from lower labor costs. Again, it's CEOs and business owners who benefit from taxpayer subsidies for their illegal alien workers. The Big Three automakers say they moved so many jobs to Mexico because their labor costs are 80 percent less than in America. Anybody notice the price of new cars spiraling downward under NAFTA?
