Thread: Fire 'Em All, Let God Sort 'Em Out

Homeland Security’s latest weapon against illegal immigration could cost legal workers their jobs.

Word that workers would be fired began to spread through Ballco Manufacturing in August. The Aurora company, which makes valve components, was staffed largely by Mexican immigrants. Eduardo Soria, who’d worked there for a decade as a machine operator, says the rumors started after Latino employees were asked to take on white trainees. A factory supervisor claimed to be adding a shift, Soria says, but some of the workers doubted it. One said he’d seen a blackboard in the office listing the names of 40 workers along with the trainees slated to replace them. Another had found a piece of paper in the tool room with workers’ names and social security numbers on it; a corresponding column listed each one’s “replacement hire.â€

"The Mexican workers from Ballco, who wouldn’t discuss their immigration status, describe an almost separate existence from the white workers at the factory"

Anyone taking notice that this division in the workplace is happening wherever Hispanic-Latinos flood in? Gee, wouldn't have anything to do with Hispanic-Latino racism and speaking in a foreign language would it?

People, it can't be that hard to get this SS mess straight - that is if our government and the illegal supporters wanted it.

Everyone in this country should go, as soon as possible, to the SS office and make sure their account is correct. It only takes a matter of seconds for them to draw up an account and give you all the information - just seconds - a couple of minutes at the most.

If the name on your SS card, or the name on your DL doesn't match, that's your fault and your job to fix it.

Every one of these workers mentioned by name in this article is an illegal alien, and they are using delay tactics regarding NLRB union-organizing rules to justify and scare employers about firing or not re-hiring employees who can't fix their "no match" problem within 90 days. It's appalling that the unions and these lawyers are counseling illegal aliens on how to skirt the laws so that they force an employer to continue to employ them even though that's also against the law. The IA's obviiously will stop at nothing.
But then again, this owner probably was quite aware that many of his loyal "workers" were not legally present and now it's coming back to bite him in the butt. Serves him right.

How many times have we all seen laws or company policies change that have affected us. I can remember having to get a new copy of my ss card or getting a certified copy of my birth certificate. How about when companies started requiring drug test.

I remember a company in Silicon Valley that had a fire drill, locked the doors and started handing out pink slips. Or what about when California enacted a new law requiring companies laying off a certain amount of employees had to pay severance pay, so National Semiconductor laid 2,000 employees (mainly employee's close to receiving retirement benefits) off the day before it went into affect.

Everyone has horror stories but we didn't have activist groups or the ACLU coming to our aid. Oh that's right we were legal citizens so it wasn't important.
