Thread: How Many Americans Are Having to Answer to IA's at Work?

The thread about laid off Americans which is here:

http://www.alipac.us/ftopict-93259.html

has led me to ask THIS question. How many U.S. citizens are being forced, out of a need to work to answer to illegal aliens who might be their supervisors at their jobs?

I can imagine George W. Bush and others such as McCain, Huckabee, Lindsey Graham, Pelosi and Reid saying, "Okay, what's wrong with that?"

There's a LOT wrong with that. It is fundamentally wrong and pitiful if that is happening and you know that it is, due to the negligence and irresponsibility of the government (primarily the Bush government) to look out for their own citizens, and employers who REFUSE to follow and abide by U.S. labor laws.

I am sure that there are people who have been laid off who are in this predicament. They would not be U.S. citizens with much money or power of any kind, which makes it even worse, that the U.S. government would look the other way at this. The VERY people, who need the government to do their job of enforcing laws the most would be the ones who could most likely find themselves in this terrible, wrong and ILLEGAL situation.

Now can you imagine THAT?

Way to go, President Bush, way to go!

The poorest and most in need Americans are the easiest to take advantage of since you know they have little power to do anything about it, RIGHT?

Americans under foreign workers tend not to fare well once a critical mass is reached, especially once the foreigners become hiring managers or have influence over hiring and firing decisions. For what happened in a similar situation see: http://www.jobdestruction.org/ShameH1B/Horror.htm

My son went to a labor hiring center to get some day work this year. His construction work is all being done by illegals. He was first at the hall to sign in. Thre guys that spoke only Spanish came in together and signed in behind him. They all sat for awhile and the guy running the labor hall handed the Spanish guys a work assignment. My boy protested that he was first to ask for work. The guy running the hall said the Spanish guys would only work if all three went together. So they did squeeze out an American.

In my hometown one of the immigrant doctors at our local hospital a medical specialist neglected his papers which then expired so there he was an IA with a six figure income.

When I was at Ford I remember one web developer from India who didn't know that Photoshop was used to create graphics for the web. I showed him how to download the Photoshop demo from the web that was 30 days functional so he could make graphics - he had never heard of this before. An older, more "job secure" Indian co-worker told me that he was saving old music CD's so that he could reburn them. I told them that music CD's couldn't be reused like that, but he refused to believe me (why not "experiment" to see if I'm right? Weird.) Same co-worker also believed that there was a program that could be used to siphon money out of people's checking accounts. Of course, he would't believe me when I told him you couldn't do that without the Bank's permission.

Sigh.

I have a supervisor who is from another country and I don't mind at all. He's here legally, he believes in the American way and conducts himself accordingly. He's great.

But for a United States citizen to have to answer to a person who is NOT EVEN SUPPOSE TO BE HERE, in accordance with the LAWS of the United States is UNACCEPTABLE and I think just about every American would agree. (accept GWB, McCAIN, Graham, Pelosi, Clinton, Reid and a few others. )

If I suspected that anyone was illegal where I worked, I would be turning the business into ICE.

If I suspected that the employer was ever favoring a certain group of people over others-----I would make sure that I gathered some proof, then get an attorney.

I know a Canadian Indian John Prays Much who has been living here since the 1960s and is a legal immigrant who complained about being put under a Central American illegal alien foreman by an American contractor.

Just try and apply at walmart in san diego and it's pretty much if you don't speak english they don't care and these people are then put in to positions where they get to hire and fire and they usually hire those who only speak spanish and ignore those who don't. Plus they hire people who mostly live in mexico near the border and they collect welfare and send their kids to our school. my mom is actually over this woman and she feels like she should be able to come in when she wants because she has to wait in the line to cross the border for three hours every morning who by the way does collect welfare for her kid by using a false address, that's just one example. Ice should do a raid at all the walmarts in the border states and be fined millions of dollars.
