I was just laid off.. The owners gave themselves a fat raise and had to fire me, the company is slowly going under but they will not lay off the ilegal aliens because they can pay them much less.. Is there anything I can do????

[Commander8]

File a complaint with Immigration, that's the only legal recourse I can think of.

Wait to seek revenge till you have passed the probationary period on a new job, is my advice. THEN look into it.

Your first priority is paying your bills.

Report the company to the INS.

contact of EEOC

[perfect stranger]

Get the number for your local INS, and make the call.

[CyberAnt]

EEOC is the correct place to go for help

[theiamons]

I have the local number to the INS but I was also told they wouldnt do anything? I have senority over the person they decided to keep but she is an immagrant and so is the owner and he told me straight out that he prefers immagrants over Americans.. Because in his words.. They work harder for less..

Become self-employed, go into business for yourself. You won't have to deal with that kind of sh!t anymore.

[theiamons]

Oh I would love to!!

[Mulder]

Is there anything I can do????

Yeah, but nobody is going to post it here.

If they did, it would get pulled quickly.

[Dog Gone]

Find another job. Then seek revenge.

[George from New England]

What city or state is this happening in?

[Black Powder]

Is there anything I can do????

Sneak into Mexico and work as an illegal.

That's life as long as you are not the boss. For now, you lick your wounds and move on. Don't look back.

[Nick Danger]

Start your own company, give yourself a raise, fire everybody except the illegals.

Get in line with your complaint.

Imagine, our young men as they look over their shoulders while marching off to war, they will see millions of illegal aliens enjoying the benifits and freedoms of America, with no worry of risk.

Our soldiers will literally be fighting to protect and ensure that those millions upon millions of illegal aliens continue to enjoy the fruits of America without lifting a finger or risking anything.

This is outrageous! But it seems the governent has no desire to protect our borders and uphold our sovereignty. It's just not part of their plan.

[Senator Pardek]

Report the company to the INS IRS. Or at least threaten to.
