Why are immigrants doing backbreaking clean-up are being ruthlessly exploited while big companies hide behind?

Question

subcontractors and line their pockets with public money. Meanwhile, the Bush administration looks the other way, just like it did in the days after Katrina hit.

Answer 1

I know ! People trash the poor ones that come here to do jobs no one want, saying they are stealing jobs from Americans

Meanwhile Corporate America is outsourcing every entry level job and for middlemenagement up, they bring foreigners that will accept a lower pay, because that still is a lot in their countries, making it worse, because they send their money back home and invest there and buy properties there. etcetera

Answer 2

ok, so you are blaming two things on bush?

1. the gov't not stopping companies from hiring illegal workers. Lets think about this for a minute. Did this just start happening in the Bush administration? Has this not been going on for 50 years? Have any democrats been in office when this happened? Don't be an idiot and try to blame bush on this. Bush is the first president making a stand about the immigration issue, so you sound really ignorant.

2. Bush did not turn the other way with katrina. That was a state problem, and the federal govt can not jump in and take over things like that. The governor would NOT ALLOW the reserves in to help until it was too late. Mayor Negan ignored protocal, which was written years before he was elected, of how to react to such an emergency.

Stop trying to blame someone for all the problems in the world because he wasn't the guy you voted for. You sound like a typical, crybaby liberal.

edit: For the 2 people making accusations of Bush not liking people based on their ethnicity. Do you not realize that Bush has hired more minorities than any other President? Do you not realize that Bush is trying to allow the illegal mexicans to work in this country?

Before you go off on your Bush hating tantrums, try to do a little research. That way when you make up a reason to hate Bush, it will be more believeable.

Answer 3

ok if you guys are soooooo for illegal immigrant rights you know everytime you buy fresh vegi's and fruits you help fun the so called BIG companies... you guys dont even know how bad things will get if we didnt have illegals doing the "backbreaking jobs" some illegals are actualy getting paid more than $10/hr (chicken industry). ok you say big comp are lineing their pockets... the Costco CEO only gets 350,000 a year and the rest goes towards the health insurance of the workers. we live in a capitalist society the pres has no authority over the companies and how much they earn.

OMG did you know the levies were faulty and the president who was told to change them were actualy Clinton... OMG you guys Clinton was given the same reports about New Orleans but he didnt do anything either.... dont always point the finger there are always things that goes wrong... and if President Bush tried to abandon katrina y did he send the coast gaurd to help???? he could have done sooo much less if he wanted to really so call "hate the black people" wow i didnt know we lived in such a world that people would blame the wrong persons for the mistakes from a former president

Answer 4

go figure! imagine, yesterday pres. bush said in a press conference in Chicago that there are 11million working illegal aliens. that means that the big companies like you call them gracefully, are not paying taxes on 11million under payed backbreaking souls that are not stealing supermarkets to feed their families. they are working!!!! who is ripping who off? and it's not about bush only, this has been going on for a very long time. and yes the states level there are costs involved for medical and education and whatever else of these people, that could be compensated and then some if those biggies would pay up the taxes they have exempted themselves from as well as from the money they save while they underpay since they have also exempted themselves from having to payout the minimum wage. great question, hope you get many good answers. maybe you should send the file to the white house and maybe someone will read it/

Answer 5

I agree with you, I live on the border and I see all the workers as immigrants, illegals, working for a meager pay while they work for contractors building million dollar homes.

Its sad but what choice do those people have, they are dirt poor and they are exploited slave labor, they have no rights being illegal. It goes on, on every level and the govt turns the other way. The border patrol is well aware of it and does nothing.

Answer 6

Because our president doesn't ever look into things too far. Companies do it because they know the hot topic now is immigration and if they were to get caught the eyes wouldn't be on them, it would be on getting those hard-working people back where they came from. Which I totally diagree with.

Answer 7

Bush hate Mexicans.....and black people......and democrats......and, well, ok, anyone who isn't among the wealthy elite of this nation, INCLUDING those fools on the religious right who bow down at the very thought of Bush (who despite all his rhetoric has yet to do anything meaningful for them).

Answer 8

Because bush doesn't like mexicans either

Answer 9
