Temp agencies are taking advantage of illegals across the country. Iridium Industries in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania is a plastic-container plant. During a raid at the plant, 81 illegal immigrants were arrested by ICE. The plant itself wasn’t charged in connection with the raid, though-because the plant blamed the Temp Agency for the illegals in their plant.

In court papers, it was stated that H&T Staffing Services, operating under that and other, similar names in Pennsylvania, fraudulently raked in nearly $2.5 million in one year. In this article at the Pocono Record from October, 2009, we find that in Pennsylvania-

People involved in the staffing company have been brought through United States Middle District Court of Pennsylvania ever since the June 2007 raid of Iridium Industries in East Stroudsburg.

During the raid at the plastic-container plant, 81 illegal immigrants were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Iridium was not charged in connection with the raid.

But this problem is also here in Illinois.

I spoke with two mexican immigrants on Thursday who are here legally. What is practically unbelievable is how the amnesty-for-illegals lobby is talking about how racist white people don’t care about the poor mexican immigrants, which is hardly the case.

These two guys are approved for work here in the U.S. and have gone by the rules. They were laid off back in September, and lost their benefits. Here is the video I made from that interview.

This video is a legal immigrant from Mexico who just got fired after working 18 years at his job.............In favor of illegal workers. Now this American citizen who came to America the right way is being thrown under the bus, Like many American workers

The last factory I worked at moved a temp service right into the building. They nearly doubled the workforce with non english speaking temps. Before long they cut everyone’s hours and all but drove all who depended on the job to look for work elsewhere.

There's so many Mexicans hanging around my town looking for work, I may start up a temp agency myself! Charge the clients $15 per work hour, and pay my Mexicans $2 per day!

You make more in management consulting. Hire bright college grads for $60K a year, bill them out at $250 an hour.

Just to be fair. Temp agencies, in general, take advantage of anyone they can. Citizen or not they 'get their cut'. Border enforcement IMO is a federal obligation.
