Thread: SOB: A Slippery Place in the U.S. Work Force

What a wonderful touch in the ongoing propaganda scheme of "jobs Americans won't do"..........

Hype up the "fact" that the illegal aliens are busting ass doing their "menial labor" jobs putting bitter American co -workers to shame by showing them up and being fired for demanding that tyrannical employers provide proper toilets........

Then cut away to allegedly supportive unemployed Americans talking about how the illegals are more than welcome to jobs they "won't do" even faced with extreme financial hardship.

Who does this so called journalist think she's fooling with this crap?

Because the government handouts don't move along to mexico too. They also pay less in mexico.

One immigrant whose Morristown welcome ended abruptly was Balbino López Hernández.

After sneaking across the Arizona border at 17, he joined a brother who lived in Morristown. In 2004 he landed a job at Berkline, a furniture company known for reclining chairs whose headquarters are in town.

Now, in early 2009, he's 28. He started working 4 yrs ago, at age 24. What did he do for money between the ages of 17 and 24? That's 7 years unaccounted for.

Not long after, on June 11, a senior manager summoned Mr. López, saying Berkline had been alerted that he might be an illegal immigrant. He confessed and was fired.

Mr. López believes that someone, perhaps a co-worker, turned him in. Two days later, the Morristown police, citing the false Social Security number he had presented at Berkline, arrested him on charges of criminal impersonation. Although those charges were soon dismissed for lack of evidence, the police reported Mr. López to federal immigration agents.

Dennis Carper, senior vice president for human resources at Berkline, confirmed that Mr. López had been terminated because of his invalid Social Security number. He said Berkline did not report Mr. López to the police.

Mr. López is now fighting deportation. He and Ms. Martin married in July and are expecting a child in May. He was released from detention to care for his wife and son, but since he was ordered deported before the wedding, it is not certain he will be able to stay

According to this timeline, they got pregnant a month after he was ordered deported. Since when do women need a man to care for them because they're pregnant? Men go to jail all the time and leave pregnant American girlfriends behind, and I don't recall ever hearing about a man getting released to care for a woman just because she's pregnant. He can't work, so how exactly is he "caring" for her? She's only 18, so is she a high school student?
