Trump’s Immigration Enforcement Wins Higher Wages for Chicago Employees
Breitbart ^ | 11/27/2017 | NEIL MUNRO

Posted on 11/28/2017 7:00:17 AM PST by gubamyster

A huge Chicago bakery is now hiring Americans at higher wages, following a federal immigration enforcement action which forced the firing of 800 illegal immigrants. The forced departure of the illegal-immigrant workers at the Chicago-based Cloverhill bakery was a financial shock to the Swiss company which bought the bakery from a U.S. investment group in 2014. The illegals comprised one-third of the bakery’s employees, so U.S. sales fell by seven percent when the enforcement forced the company to rebuild its workforce by hiring Americans, the CEO told Wall Street analysts, according to Bloomberg:

“It’s proceeding very, very slowly because it’s like having a brand new factory and a brand new workforce,” Chief Executive Officer Kevin Toland said on a call with analysts. “That’s presenting a lot of challenges, as you can imagine” …

The increase in employment costs — which is affecting retailers and restaurants nationwide — will eventually lead to higher consumer prices, Toland said.

Company officials blamed the illegal-immigrant workforce on an outside staffing firm which was investigated by federal agencies. However, some employees had complained about racial antagonism before the federal review. Also, the firm suddenly lost $1 billion in stock value in the seven days after Donald Trump was inaugurated and promised his “Buy American, Hire American” policy.

The loss of illegal immigrants can be very expensive for a company because the new American hires can demand higher wages — and most of the prior employers will then demand similar pay levels.

THIS is what we need to encourage illegal aliens to go home on their own.
Enforcement will make them unemployable.

I’ve been saying for years that illegal aliens have been artificially suppressing wages of low skilled workers.

Boo-hoo. You come to America for our money, but want to pay slave wages to illegals to pad the bottom line. Surely Chicago’s legal workers are not too stupid to do the work that an illegal has done.

Oh, they’ll do the work, just not at the same pay as the illegals will.

ICE is focusing on the hard core criminals and removing them daily.
We will never be able to deport all 30 million illegal aliens.
If we cut off employment and benefits, many will leave on their own.

Many people have been saying that for years, and here's the proof.

It's also happening across Financial Services & Information Technology where foreign workers are brought here on "guest" worker types of programs to assume the duties of the American's they're replacing, then those foreign workers are sent back to India to work at a fraction of the cost.

There really needs to be a crackdown/elimination of H1B's and guest worker visa's to stop this abuse also.

We’ve known for years, the Democrats who protect the illegals are doing so to keep the wages low. This is nothing more than another form of slavery. The Democrats lost the civil war over Slavery and they found another method to introduce more Slavery, this time with illegals from south of the border, exploiting them for a profit. The Democrats never gave up on Slavery as an institution

This letter was circulated in the illegal alien community of Maine by Republic_of_Maine and some of his friends in teams of two or more, it resulted in many leaving and going back to Mexico, including at least four families in the Oxford Hills area.

An open letter to Those in the US illegally:

Illegals, muslims, and others here illegally or as phony refugees, move now while you can.

If you self deport you may be allowed back into the USA, but if you are deported you have no hope of ever coming back, NONE.

If what your hero barak hussien obama did causes a civil war, you are toast, you have no chance of surviving a US civil war, NONE.

Don’t be fooled by fake news, catholic charities, or lying liberal scum in political office.

Keep your family intact, pack and move you and your family now. ICE is not in the business of keeping families of illegals intact.”

¿Puede alguien traducir esto al español hablado por la mayoría de los ilegales provenientes de México y Centroamérica?

“Una carta abierta a Los en los EE.UU. ilegalmente:

Los ilegales, los musulmanes y otros aquí ilegalmente o como falsos refugiados, se mueven ahora mientras pueden.

Si usted deport de auto se le puede permitir volver a los EE.UU., pero si eres deportado no tienes esperanza de volver nunca, NINGUNA.

Si lo que su héroe barak hussien obama causó una guerra civil, que son tostadas, no tienes ninguna posibilidad de sobrevivir a una guerra civil de EE.UU., NINGUNA.

No se deje engañar por las noticias falsas, las obras de caridad católicas, o la mentira liberal mentiroso en la oficina política.

Mantenga a su familia intacta, empacar y mover a usted ya su familia ahora. ICE no está en el negocio de mantener las familias de ilegales intactas. “

All it will take is a few high profile raids with expensive penalties imposed on the employers and the word will get out. Smart businesses will start replacing their workforce now

Correct; if the jobs and welfare go away, they will go home. As soon as any of these folks are pulled over and found to be without a license, they should have their car seized and auctioned off for parts.

Stop. This problem of politicians helping to suppress wages using illegals goes across all party lines. Don’t give the RINO’s a pass on this.
