US companies can really rely on illegal immigrants. And just to set the record straight, it was 595 arrested. That's a big number for a stong US company that provides transformers for 190,000 technology related solutions. Another American company that's going to lose millions which is going to make another negative affect on this country. Are more immigrants going to replace them just like the meat packing plant in PA? while US citizens continue to collect un-employment. The un-employment was on the rise when the Meat Packing Plant was raided, so where were the Citizens who claim illegals took their job? Will this be the same case? U.S. immigration cops nab 595 in largest-ever raid http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080827/us_nm/usa_immigration_arrests_dc_2;_ylt=AmdAYWC2yc_rL_Qyi2VCDQ9Quk0A Jan, WOW! a whole 30 cars when 595 jobs are vacant now. I bet 28 out of the peope that are in those cars are immigrants. Hmmmmm! what do you think? Joel W, please read slowly! I did not say they were replaced with illegal aliens. I said they were replaced with immigrants.
ICE could spend months raiding plants here in the poorest state that receives the most federal aid and not make a dent in the number of illegals working here.

Per the workers in that meat packing plant.. they are no longer participating in taking some 300 billion a year in welfare out of our economy.. (and that is just for starters), and the effect is decidedly a win, win for the U.S.
===========================================
Per the transformers: we have lost yet another big, big chunk of people who have horrendous criminal backgrounds, and collect a huge amount of welfare. But please, folks, don't take my word for it.

======================================
595 of millions. We need to do far, far better than that and as is the case in the above, American Citizens will take those jobs, and we will stop paying the welfare.
1. The crack down on illegal alien criminals is surging.....because Americans are demanding it.
2. That there are unscrupulous employers out there who plan to profit off the backs of illegals and at the expense of Americans. They too should be dealt with swiftly and expediently.
3. Jan's article proves that your supposition that illegals do jobs Americans wont do is hogwash. It always has been. Pay Americans a liveable wage and they will do any job.
Which is why, senor, no American should give your fuzzy, traitorous assertions so much as a second thought.
Instead of applauding the fact that ICE raids are on the increase, and more job opportunities for Americans will be the result, you imply that Americans aren't interested in such employment.
Untrue.
Exploitive employers hire illegals to keep, and drive, wages lower. They can do this because their lobbyists have managed to curb minimum wage increases. Americans are not accustomed to living like doo-doo and recognize that these wage levels will never lead to the American dream. Even so, simply because these low-level jobs are not particularly attractive, doesn't mean that they should be gifted to foreigners. If we don't protect our country's resources, and jobs ARE a resource, we might as well hoist the Mexican flag and fire the Border Patrol. You'd like that, wouldn"t you?
