Thread: Mexican janitors make DNC Convention Hall shine.......

"The other companies who worked downtown with us realized that we, Hispanics, work fast and better," Cruz said proudly.

I've heard that from a number of Hispanics. Its usually, "We do the job better than Americans." Where they get that BS, I don't know. It is definitely not true. They don't work smarter, harder, better or faster than Americans.
Besides taking jobs Americans would do and being paid less and with fewer benefits, these people and the people who use them throw all the labor benefits we have worked so hard for in the trash. Labor laws mean nothing to them. This is the employer's dream come true.

The IA win either way. They say they do jobs we won't do and they do it for less. Then they complain and get money when it's found out they were working under the table. So not only do they get the job, the money, and to be here to collect all the "freebies" but in the end they also benefit from when it's found out they are here illegally and then they are treated like poor, innocent victims. It's disgusting!

Having been to many resorts and some of the so called nicest hotels. Ritz Carlton for example, many times after hours and most of these places have many illegals doing this kind of work. It's a very dirty little secret! And yet it goes on...............................

Perhaps this needs to be sent out to the CO Attorney General, the DNC, the RNC and to Tom Tancredo.

Aren't there some sort of child labor laws that have been violated with this kid?

Should be. Not to mention......where is the racially balanced crew? Find it odd if they are the minority that there wasn't a single solitary person who wasn't hispanic looking for work? Does being a minority now qualify you for every job out there?
