`Jobs that Americans won't do' filled by desperate migrants
Yahoo! News ^ | Stephen Franklin

She is dizzy, almost wobbly. Her head aches, her coughing won't stop, and because she doesn't have enough money she has not filled her four prescriptions nor seen a doctor recently.

But that doesn't stop her.

Soon it will be midnight, and Ipifania Dominguez will be back at work cleaning up blood, bone and fat in the world's largest pork slaughterhouse. She'll be back in the "head room," as she calls it, where meat is cut from pigs' heads.

We're going to see lots of misdiagnoses because of diseases turning up that just plain aren't supposed to happen in the first world.

It takes one case. It takes one kid in your child's school getting cholera or typhoid fever to focus EVERYONE'S attention.

Whatever, but personally I don't take medical expertise from Dr. Sam the Sham, to seriously.

Framers and carpenters are becoming exstinct, and its not because of Pedro from Mexico.

Phooey, there are a good 50,000 houses going up in every direction all around me--all wood framed. And nearly all by Mexican labor. You can bet a large chunk of which is illegal.

So using your logic all those houses should be bulldozed, and damn the families that may want to have their part of the American dream.

You are not sure your maid is legal or not??

No hired worker every works on or in my house before I have proof they have workers comp and insurance. A homewoner in my hometown was sued for 2 million and lost because the worker he hired was hurt on the job at this guys house. The worker had no WC or insurance so it went back right onto the homeowner. My insurnace agent cringes whenver he hears of someone hiring somone without wc.

In this day and age of lawsuits I can't imagine you putting yourself into this possible situation

.........No its a big deal, Kerrys promised amnesty was more unedible than Bush's lie about no amnesty...If Kerry had run on an anti-illegal immigration policy he darn well might have won..just look at Hillary posturing.........

Oh sheesh would you hillary sycophants on FR put up or shut up.

OK

http://washingtontimes.com/national/20041213-124920-6151r.htm

Can you please give me hillary's plan.

What plan, did I mention a plan?

The truth is she doesn't have one and you know that.

So besides knowing everything, you are into mind reading now and putting words into peoples posts? What does the word "posturing" mean? Hint it doesn't mean plan.

Why do you always keep using that stupid "bulldozed" nonsense, so typical of the dishonesty of the OBL ?

And if you don't think, "An illegal could give your child TB" isn't something any parent could understand you are utterly clueless.

My brother just built a house and 70% of the workers were hispanic who worked for American owners. They have lowered down the wages to 8-9.00 hour from $12-15.00

Uh Sammy, someone built those houses that American families will cherish.

I can't help it if you don't like and have an incessant animus towards the language those builders speak.

Your animus has been seen before in American history, such as when the majority of house builders were Italian.

America survived and prospered despite the animus of the know nothings of the early 20th century and will prosper despite the know nothings of the early 21st century, such as you and your cadre on FR, IMO.

JMO, it seems that you are pissed off and envious of your brother's new house.

You'd think that for $6.90 an hour she could go to the Salvation Army store and buy some warmer work clothes - a few sweaters at 50 cents apiece, or something.You'd think that for $6.90 an hour she could go to the Salvation Army store and buy some warmer work clothes - a few sweaters at 50 cents apiece, or something.

Yeah, you'd think...

Maybe she's sick. 50 cent sweaters are hard to come by unless you wear 2T.

The Italians you speak of where legal and paid taxes and they did not do the jobs for a fraction of the prevailing rate of the day. I know. My wife is Italian and all her family were in construction since the turn of the century.

Spare me the phony multiculturalism and the bogus "anti-racism".

It's all about lining your pocket at the expense of everyone else. It's all about OBL selfishness, greed, and lawlessness.

Actually not. I built a house a few years ago with all legal american labor. He is the one that is "catching" up to me.

Really? You were around to document your above italicized passage in the early to mid 20th century.

Call me skeptical.

You know, Dane, I think you are losing it.

My argument was in response to his/her last post which stated framers were becoming obsolete due to different building practices.

But, yes, I do believe those framing jobs should be reserved for American citizens. Call me crazy.
