A couple tear jerking articles for your Monday morning pleasure. Not to mention the appropriateness on Labor Day- which used to mean something for American workers. Not anymore…the day should be called LatinoLabor Day.
First off the presses, ICE raids and racial politics don’t go hand in hand:
LAUREL, Miss. – Fabiola Pena considered running away from her factory job when she realized that she was being targeted in a federal immigration raid. She was deterred when she noticed the helicopters hovering overhead.
But helicopters were not what shocked Pena the most on her last, fateful day at Howard Industries, the largest employer in this small Southern city. It was the black co-workers who clapped and cheered as Pena and hundreds of other Hispanic immigrant laborers were arrested.
Really? How can this be? Hmm. American workers lose their jobs to illegal immigrants ALL the time…it doesn’t matter what color the skin is. It’s all about the money.
“They said we took their jobs, but I was working from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.,” said Pena, 21, a day after the raid last week that resulted in the arrest of 595 illegal immigration suspects. “I didn’t see them working like us.”
Nope…you won’t see too many Americans working like that. We have laws about all this. And our political leaders Democrats wish to play both sides of the coin here. While they promote fair working conditions, they also provoke business leaders into entering the shady world of hiring illegals.
The raid at the Howard plant was welcomed by a number of native-born residents in this manufacturing hub of about 25,000 people that has been transformed in recent years by the influx of Hispanic workers, many of whom are likely undocumented.
“They need to go and do this in every little town,” Tonya Jackson said. Jackson, 30, who is black, said that over the years she had applied numerous times for a job at the company, which employs about 4,000 people. Jackson never received a callback. The raid, she said, was a welcome purge of illegal Hispanic laborers who had taken jobs they didn’t deserve.
That puts her at odds with Obama. The Democratic nominee’s website describes the raids as “ineffective” measures that have “placed all the burdens of a broken system onto immigrant families.”
What say Obama on this? Who will he stand up for? The illegals or the people who have lost their jobs to them?
Second, another article designed to siphon sappy emotional responses from readers:
With the economy in the grip of a slowdown, American workers are increasingly losing full-time work to part-time employment, and the trend is particularly pronounced among Hispanics, contributing to the tough economic times hitting the nation’s largest minority group.
[...]
Hispanics make up a disproportionate number of workers who hold part-time jobs but want full-time work. While they are only about 14 percent of the U.S. labor force, they represent 33 percent of people who shifted from full-time to involuntary part-time work in the year ended June 30. Because more than half of Hispanic workers are immigrants and are more likely to be young and less skilled, they are more susceptible to economic cycles, said Harry J. Holzer, a professor of public policy at Georgetown University and a former chief economist at the Labor Department.
What this article fails to mention is the working status of these Hispanics. It’s not too far off to assume most of them are illegal immigrants.
There is a solution: GO HOME! It’s all well and good when America is having good economic times. Thanks to shady business and illegal immigrants though, many AMERICANS have been in economic trouble for years due to losing their jobs to said illegals. What goes around always comes around. Latinos- illegals- GO HOME. You’ve done more damage than anyone thought possible. Give Labor Day back to Americans!
