The article said they get paid $12.00 an hour. I know more than a few Americans that make less than that.

The UFCW are just showing how racist they are. They’re not for all immigrants - they’re only for ones that come from south of the border. The illegals were replaced by legal immigrants, just not Spanish-speaking ones, and that’s really why the UFCW is filing suit against ICE.

The U.C.F.G. is engaged in criminal activities that have nothing to do with illegal immigrants. Why not take the side of criminal aliens too?

At least this ethnic group will probably - not sure - value education and take advantage of their chance.

But really this is how it should be done - a specific number, documented etc. instead of a chaotic flood of nameless, faceless with little appreciation for getting an education and getting ahead.

Having said all that, do I think we need more immigrants? No, and that’s because we can’t afford the illegal ones we already have.
