I keep seeing on the Weather Channel that there is a drought across the lower portion of this state. I have not yet read/heard the impact on the farmers yet. Kind of curious, is it not that for those who demand to hire cheap labors, ‘mother nature’ did what those in charge of enforcing the ‘law’ would not do?

RINO Saxby Chambliss is one of the main enablers pimping for the agricultural and poultry processing industries, both who rely on cheap imported labor to keep their profits up. He was a supporter of the Bush amnesty program until he realized it would cost him his seat. He found religion until after the election. Now he’s one of the backstabbing Gang of Six.

If they want to employee illegals fine. Boycott the company and I say make it very expensive on the illegals.

Every money transfer to Mexico will be taxed at the Maximum individual tax rate. The sender will input their SSN or TPID and when that person files their LEGAL tax return any and all monies overpaid will be returned with a 5% interest. If the tax return is invalid in anyway there will be no refund.

In Colorado Springs 7-11’s, with the Western Union Kiosk, I have to hit 2 for English. WTF is up with that???

Read the article. These were 40 American workers who got screwed, and investigators backed them up. And you know it must have been REALLY bad for OBAMA'S EEOC to rule like this, when they would much rather sweep it under the rug and bash Gov. Nathan Deal and HB87.

I’ll get flamed or banned or called a racist if I tell the truth here. Some work, some won’t, and the work ethic is everything when it comes to hourly wages and manual labor.

It’s a pretty good bet that those who claim they were fired “because of their race” are neither caucasian nor hispanic and that they were fired for standing around complaining instead of picking.

My niece was refused work from a S.F. Chipotle Mexican Grill because she didn't speak Spanish. Weeks later the same location fired 8 illegal aliens after an ICE investigation. My younger brother was refused picking work in FL for the same reason. Our whole family picked crops and worked farms for year when we were younger. Now if you are not Hispanic - forget it.

Soon they won’t have to hire pickers, they will have to hire security guards. They are stealing manhole covers, metal doors, brass fixtures from grave yards, metal fencing, electrical wiring in schools.........

Foot can’t be far behind.

Yes, good old Shifty Chambliss. He’s never seen a liberal POS bill or stance he didn’t like. We will primary his azz next time around and Sarah Palin isn’t going to save him.

Good luck trying to find any native-born American that will do this kind of work, let alone a teenager. They'd rather go on welfare. Sorry, but Americans don't have the same work ethic that existed even 20 years ago. It has been bred out of most people. Sad, but true.

In the meantime, you may wish to let Hamilton Growers know what you think of how they treat American workers: (229) 769-3675.

You guys are so right. We need some young, conservative candidates to run against both his and Johnny Isakson's RINO butts. BTW, I like the name you give him, "Shifty Chambliss", but I heard someone on the radio call him "Taxby Chambliss" which I think is pretty good.

Yes Shifty and Johnny have both got to go. We have got to get good tea party candidates like Jim DeMint to run agains’t them.

“regularly favored foreign workers over American employees”?

For the recent Marcellus Shale gas seismic survey work in and around my homelands, grid-patterned slogging over hill and dale, thru swamp and slough, the contract outfits said they preferred to hire local people, versus outsiders or illegals, but the local applicants who could pass a drug test just wouldn’t regularly show up often enough to make it worth the trouble to hire them. Long hours of moderate-to-heavy physical work for low pay with no benefits; who ya gonna call, Ghostbusters?

If said individual can’t be “gainfully” employed, you (as employer) are screwed.

Back in the day though they gots fired.

Dunno how you guys do it these days. thouth.

I’m old school. I don’t stand for nonsense (akin to what your suggesting).

Straight up end run around the 13th amendment. If you can’t get slaves here, you import them from somewhere else, under the radar of course. And if you are worried about the price of produce going up, think of this: YOU are paying out of YOUR wallet to subsidize these illegals to be here. So, where are the savings exactly? I guess it comes down to the new accounting method of profits at all costs.
