A Body Blow To Illegal Labor? Court rulings and legislation could change the game for companies such as Mohawk It could soon be high noon in Calhoun. The town of 13,000 tucked away in the northwest corner of Georgia has been reshaped during the past decade by a huge influx of Latinos. The big draw: jobs at Mohawk Industries Inc. (MHK ), the town's largest employer. The $6.6 billion carpet maker employs 32,000 workers in all, 4,000 of them in Calhoun and surrounding Gordon County. Once staffed largely by whites, Mohawk today has a workforce made up substantially of immigrants from Mexico and other Latin American countries. The lure of $7-an-hour work has helped lift Hispanics to 12% of Gordon's population today, up from less than 1% in 1990.

JustPiper.......I think what I'll do is use the article that I had attached to my post and start a thread with it. What surprises me is if you read back through THIS thread, even though the discussion is on RICO/illegal immigration, no one even hinted at the conculsion your friend did, though I think most of us were questioning the timing of bringing up the issue and the rush to fix the problem....no one connected the dots.

If you don't post it I will. There are some interesting tidbits in that article.

Not a million dollar house, but it's happening on my street.

Yep we have had a college co-ed murdered by one which by the way went to and from across the border at will. They finally caught him and sentenced him to death but it is on appeal. You can see the gang graffiti all around town with the MI13 tag to it. Boy let me say it again these people are the best! (sarcasm off)
