I was there too, and I did not see anything remotely close to what you are describing. I was also involved in the hiring process and I can tell you the company I worked for hired based on qualifications not on “illegal status” or low wages. The mills competed with each other on wages to keep employees from jumping from mill to mill. If your friends were laid off there were other mills willing and ready to hire them. If you were fired one day you could easily be employed the next day. That is why the Hispanic population grew so rapidly in Dalton because there was a shortage of workers.
