Such as the meat cutters who used to make $19 an hour but now make $7, thanks in large part to illegal immigration? The WSJ says that is the free labor market at work.

Proof to back this up? This is the whole problem. ABSOULTE lies get screamed as "Fact" and mindlessly repeated so often they become "fact". This claim is a complete manufacture MYTH. It has no base at all in fact. It just nonsense propaganda. The best paid employees in the grocery chain I work for are the meat cutters. They have NEVER had their wages cut EVER.

My God, the Conservative Movement has simply gotten too stupid to survive! They simply mindlessly accept everything the Junk Media screams at them as fact!

That is quite well documented.

But I notice you launched into a rant that the claim was false without bothering to wait for me to substantiate it.

He's not talking about the "grocery chain", I don't think he meant meat cutters but meat packers.

I know here in Oregon that construction companies are MOSTLY staffed by Mexicans that cannot speak English, and fire-fighting firms that used to hire local kids straight out of college are almost entirely staffed by non-English speaking Mexicans.

I don't know if that means they are illegal or not, but c'mon...almost 100% hiring of non-English speaking Latinos in a state that has but a scant minority of Latinos?

Another example, I went into Carl's Jr. a few months ago, and every person there, from the counter to the cooks, all six of them, were female Latinas, all speaking Spanish as they worked, and the two cashiers that took my order both times spoke with such a heavy Mexican accent that I had to ask them to repeat themselves several times.

Seeing such overwhelmingly non-English speaking Latino representation in a small town that has, at most, 2% to 3% Hispanic population shows me that Latinos are specfically sought out and hired, which leads me to the conclusion that they are probably illegal aliens who are willing to work for far less than Americans with full citizenship.
