Camille Briggs BUNA BASED SOUTHEAST TEXAS INDUSTRIES SAYS IT HAS EXHAUSTED EFFORTS TO FIND QUALIFIED WORKERS IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS. COMPANY REPRESENTATIVES SAY THEY'VE BEEN FORCED TO GO ACROSS THE BORDER TO SEEK OUT EMPLOYEES.
Jerry Wayne Pillsbury/Pipefitters Union "It's 2006 and we are setting up concentrations camps. They work 12 hour days ... 7 days a week ... Have we progressed to that."
WIMBERLEY SAYS THE COMPANY HAS WORKED FOR MONTHS TRYING TO HIRE LOCAL SKILLED LABOR, BUT HAS COME UP SHORT. Jim Wimberley/Southeast Texas Industries "Just to be clear $18 an hour is what you are paying them right? For steal workers, yes mam."

For steal workers,...At eighteen dollars an hour they shouldn't have to steal.

They should enforce the forfeiture laws against companies that hire illegals. That would shut them down pretty quickly.

Gee, tough choices. I can be illegal and work 12 hours a day 7 days a week for $18/hr or I can have perfect SAT scores and work at the local tutoring center for 4 hours a day 5 days a week for $10/hr.

The article doesn't say but it sounds like the company may be bringing them in under the existing guest worker program.

So there's not enough illegal aliens in the country already and they need to import more?

'steal' and 'mam'? What illiterate wrote this? It appears to be a typed transcript of a series of videotaped interviews. Evidently KFDM is having trouble finding qualified workers, too.

So the Mexicans they go get are skilled "steal" workers?? No, really. Mexico has a ready supply of experienced workers they can use??
I don't think so. A few, not enough for 2 series of workers.

According to another article I saw a couple weeks ago that is what they are doing....

'steal' and 'mam'? What illiterate wrote this? It was a broadcast transscript, which obviously was not revised for print.
