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

The lies of which you speak are all spin the liberal machine delivers, via their propaganda department (mainstream media) to convince the 80% or so of Americans that read this dribble, that these lies are fact. Then people like you and I have to listen to these idiots in the supermarket, on the job, or where ever, recite what they have been ''fed'' as though it were true! I will boycott Swift products and suggest the other intelligent people in America do the same until this situation comes to a satisfactory conclusion, Lance. I.B.E.W. Local 363 member

Swift is not the only company guilty of lowering wages. It has happened to several companies that I personally know of in Illinois. There is proof, and yet 'they' say it is not happening.
I would work for $20.00 an hour any day. Even $12.00.

Whatever that just said, illegal immigrants not only work harder but FASTER. There is a neighborhood being built close to where I live and they have two teams working on the construction, one of illegals and one of blacks and whites. So far the illegals have built nine houses while the blacks and whites are stuck at three... that's three times as fast. Not saying that they are BORN better, but hard lives make hard workers. Don't like it? Deal with it, it's the way it is.

Swift's profits were up 80% last year and taxpayers pick up the bill for spending billions on illegal aliens.

And I will say once more, YES! I am tired of the lies! Show me some irrefutable proof!! Until that time, all the criminals and their supporters have is racist rhetoric and biased propaganda. All lies they tell to any foolish enough to listen.

...and apathy and a misinformed public has allowed corporations to take their high paying jobs overseas and trade them for pennies on the dollar to cheap labor there .... and americans can work if they want to ... ive never lived in a place i couldnt find a job in one day ... and i doubt illegals are cutting into ur high-end architech job. ... and i doubt too many prima-donna americans want to go work on the farm and butcher animals and pick tomatoes .. but somehow that is making everyone else get paid less ryt ... there are many factors the are relevent to the US economy being the way it is if one takes the time to research them ... but illegals are at the very bottom of the list of what needs to be focused on to change things for the better ...
