It seems to me that one of the benefits of having ILLEGAL aliens in the country, at least for the Chamber of Commerce/Chicken Processor types would be that they can pay them much lower wages than normal AND they work like the dickens because they don’t want to make waves and get turned in to Immigraciones.

Not to be racist, but this difference is most profound between Mexican workers and Puerto Ricans (PR). Mexicans are far, far better and harder workers the PR’s. Why? Well, PRs are legal and can easily get benefits anywhere in the USA. Mexicans, while they can do this (and you’d be surprised that so many do and can get away with it) always have to worry about being turned in and deported.

I really don’t thing the Chamber/Chicken Processor types want the illegals made legal, but rather just over here to further exploit. By giving them amnesty you would give them power and the Chamber types lose money. I can’t see them in favor of this.

They do, however, want more low wage workers. They absolutely do not want them to become Americans, as Americans have the gall to expect higher wages or won’t work and go on welfare.

You’re right, exactly, AB.

Not sure about Puerto Ricans but we got Mexicans here in Delaware that do all the landscaping. They wear long sleeves on the hottest of days and never sweat. I hired a company, American owned, but the workers were all illegals, I’m sure. But I was nice to them, continually offering them water, which they eventally accepted, dear Lord they worked all day without any water!

The Hondurans and Ecuadorans work for the chicken industry and no, most Americans won’t be running around catching chickens (there really is a job called “chicken catcher”) for minimum wage. As a joke I asked around and most folks said sure, they’d do it....but for no less than $25 an hour.

Same as for working the processing plants where they are up to elbows in blood and guts.

So to keep the Hondurans and Ecuadorans from being deported, here in Delaware but in other parts of the country, this grand scheme was hatched...FOR THE MONEY!!!! The scheme brings in these kids. Here in Delaware they brought them in in dead of night and already they are at their homes.

so the chicken factory workers, as was the plan, CANNOT BE DEPORTED!

Why? They have children to care for. Some of the children are theirs and some are relatives.

It’s part of a plan hatched a couple of years ago and once the Obama admin got the money, boom....they are brought in.

THAT’s the story behind the story and I don’t believe for one single minute not a single solitary Republican knew nothing about it.

Even now the pubs shuffle and waffle and talk around the subject. They too are glad Obama did this, their campaign coffers will be filled.

This is a political Elite problem and America might be slow on the uptake but we’re learning.

Let that Ebola virus get loose and the country will implode.

That has also worked with 'legal' immigration.

In the early 80s, I worked for a defense contractor. At one point, the company was hiring 3-to-1 green card personnel. They were being paid wages that were typical -- in Europe. In the USA, at that time, those wages were barely above minimum wage. The green card professionals did not realize the salary discrepancies until they tried to live on the amounts they were earning.

One man, had 2 PhD's, had numerous high tech patents, had numerous published articles in high tech professional journals, and had served in both the US and British Air Forces. He was being paid less that I was and I was basically a 'trainee' technical writer.

The company hired those green-card people because the company could pay green-carders less. If the green-carder complained, they would possibly have their green cards pulled and be sent back home, overseas, -- at their own expense.

They do, however, want more low wage workers. They absolutely do not want them to become Americans, as Americans have the gall to expect higher wages or won’t work and go on welfare.

Ding ding ding!

I see millions of low information/wage workers...

CUT WELFARE by 75%.
