`Jobs that Americans won't do' filled by desperate migrants

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.

I think the one complaining is the person who thinks that persons of a wrong color actually built the house

That is such an intellectually void arguement. Why, why, why do you (and the left) constantly use it?

Hey, Dane, FWIW-- my kids are pretty brown. Oh the horror.

It is a free market but with "unfair competion", ie hiring illegals....With fair competition for the jobs and products, then see what happens to wages...include following the Fair Labor Standards Act and paying required benefits like workers comp and SS..otherwise those breaking the law have an advantage over those that don't...Either we are a Nation of laws or we aren't we can't pick and choose which ones to follow...

Not really. A truly "free market" doesn't uphold the concept of "unfair competition". That's a public policy that has nothing to do with economics. The law, and economics, are two different things. Which is why we have a controversy.

What has color got to do with whether one is hiring illegals or not? Once again you stoop low when you can't put forth a rational arguement. Do you really believe the BS you post or does someone pay you to do it?

I don't disagree with you as far as economics, government intervention does affect a completely free market. People in this Nation have decided to have laws concerning working standards and fair competition. Our standards are different from those in many of the countries illegals come from. By not enforcing our standards, we are subjecting our standards to being lowered unlawfully. We are becoming a third world country, complete with lawlessness and a disappearing middle class.

It DOES have to do with economics. Doesn't economics have the concept of an "externality" where a business can cut its costs by dumping its costs on other ? A business that hires illegals is dumping the cost of the social services (education, health care, law enforcement) they need on the taxpayer.

Huh I am not the one who puts down his brothers house becuase of the people who built it.

I, unlike you, don't think house building is an evil endeavor.

"One thing you certainly share with many others on this thread is a contempt for business and a love for government."

One thing you certainly share with your fellow illegal alien apologists/enablers on this and other related threads is a contempt for national sovereignty, national security, the rule of law, and the preservation of American culture and customs.

There is nothing at all surprising that those who place themselves at the service of career criminals, who defend and excuse breaking the law for no higher reason than their own selfish greed, who are utterly oblivious to the consequences of the actions of those they defend, exhibit the moral character of mob mouthpieces.

He didn't put down his brothers house.

You are our in left field with your "conclusions" Nothing I have posted points to any conclusion that I think house building is an evil endeavor. Hiring illegals to do it however is unlawful and morally wrong. Neither of which you seem to care about,,,,,,,,,,,

I'm still waiting for them to do a profile of Suzy Suburbanite, the electrician's wife who works part time in this same pig factory to save money for her kids college fund.

At least Suzy Suburbanite wouldn't have violated several laws in acquiring her job at the pig factory.

I notice ClintonBeGone has shrunk off. Bayourod must have tagged you.

Some of us have to work for a living. We all don't have a job working at the union shop, smoking cigars and leaching off the hard work of others.

Here's a quarter call someone who cares(such as drama queen barbara boxer).

Give me a break! I don't care if hispanics build a house. As a matter of fact I was impressd with their workmanship (what I saw on my brothers house) However I do care if they are illegal or not.

I don't think house building is evil. I just built a house several years ago, and just built 4 apartments this past year and my dad and I used to build spec houses. You do not know what you are talking about.

My sister bought a house built by illegal alien help. All the hot and cold water faucets are backwards. God only knows what else is wrong with it.
