Correct, it’s merely a ruse. Not only is it a lie, it’s a fabricated situation. Americans DID those jobs before the illegals came in and undercut their wages. Free market principles (with rule of law) did not allow for the Americas to get the jobs back. The problem is that the traitors that illegally hire illegal aliens, violating the law themselves. Why, because then the illegals are at their beck and call, and will do anything to keep their jobs.
I know of one place that regularly hires illegals (and which has had over a hundred taken during the same time period as the meat packing plant). That company, one Christmas, had to meet it’s production quota, and the workers wanted to go home. The supervisor allegedly padlocked the doors to keep the workers in because they all tried to go home (the person who told me didn’t seem to have a reason to lie, she wasn’t an illegal....or an immigrant..., and was merely talking about what a bad place it was to work).
But I have seen other situations like that. They are traitors, and it makes me sick.
I vaguely remember that story about the company pad locking them in and making them work. My gf's daughter worked for one of those farms where migrant workers are. She said when the jobs were done the illegals would break into cars and steal things on their way back to mexico. I've heard horror stories about the illegal women coming across the border. Most are raped and abused. Then they get here, God only knows what's happening to some of them. Cheap labor, the abuse I'm sure is rampant. People that hire them can pay them whatever they want and pretty much do to them whatever they want. The abuse runs on both sides. They are abusing our system and costing the taxpayers plenty, and in turn many of them get abused.
