A good idea here, how about we take all the lazy bastards that collect welfare and stick them in those jobs?

At least they want to work (legally), which is honorable, unlike some low-life's in this society who prefer to collect welfare, food stamps, WIC, Section 8 and a whole host of goodies. I will take hardworking Hill Folk any day over lazy Welfare Mama's and all of their Baby Daddies.

Now you're comparing welfare recipients to this. Focus.

So, illegals wanting to work is honorable too, according to your words.

Amen. Because it's the illegals and those welfare recipients are the ones that are truly draining our tax revenue.

Two simple solutions, round up and deport (or execute, doesn't matter to me) all the illegals and get the lazy bastards sucking the welfare tit and put them in those jobs.

Reading comp apparently is a skill you do not possess. If you read slowly and carefully you will see that very important word (legally). You may not be aware of this but illegal aliens cannot legally work.

Another point is that illegals drive down the wages in industries where they dominate.
I digress

Thats very good news. Corrupt employers like Purdue exploit these illegal aliens to displace American citizens and reap major profits by cheating. I still want to boycott Purdue and Tysons for hiring all these illeal aliens though. People should do all they can to take the illegal alien out of their money loop. Stop eating at Wendys or Mcdonalds, no landscaping companies with 13 wetbacks and a truck, buy local produce and use American born contractors, no nannies. Lean on the people you know who do. Im a contractor and when I do business i avoid any subs who arent citizens because I feel if i dont protect their jobs mine wont be protected either. Illegals have depreciated the wages in all construction by thirty years, and thats partially to blame for the housing bubble, cheap corrupt developers used them to throw up crap homes by the hundreds and the citizens who worked these jobs had to comply with laws and taxes and workers comp etc and coulnt compete on bids with illegals cheating everything. Now liberal yuppies and the aliens claim these are jobs americans dont want.

I can read just fine thank you. Of course the 5,000 would work (legally eyeroll) since they are citizens, dur. Perhaps your writing skills need help? Regardless, you strayed off topic when you mentioned welfare in comparison to illegal workers, in this situation. But I'm sure thats my fault too, eh?

Gee, and I thought it was the billion a week war in Iraq that was depleting our tax revenue. One can learn so much on topix.

"Authorities concluded Perdue's hiring practices systemically discriminated against more than 5,000 non-Hispanic job applicants."

Not very PC Perdue to discriminate against any one and now that Perdue has been fined the American public can also boycott Perdue for not hiring NONHISPANICS and discriminating against NONHISPANICS. Often heard in Washington DC when Hispanics are on the job no one other than other hispanics gets hired.

To the welfare cheats who call it "working the system" this is good news. If they do not want to work then the welfare should be cut off. There are jobs. I just love it when a welfarie just loves the bottle and loves the drugs but is hostile to that four letter word W-O-R-k! Even with the new rules for welfaries, the work the system, that is the taxpayers, welfaries with the help of so called social workers just keep on milking the fools who let them keep pulling the teat. Even when forced to get a job, the welfarie I know would show up for work drunk and the Mackie manager had to fire her. They kept her on welfare since the poor soul was trying. Then the social workers decided they would get her a job caring for sick mommy since she lived with mommy, the first welfare mommy, this was no big deal but it fit in with welfare rules about working. So today her daughters and granddaughters make up four generations in a row sucking the teat! Now at least the illegals, god bless them, are working and really know what being poor is all about. Perdue well Frank and Frank Jr. you two ugly fellows one day are going to kill your last chicken, but before you do at least offer jobs to the lazy nogoodniks draining the public coffers. Welfare?People who actually need it fine. The bums and druggie drunks who generation after generation work the system then go to the chicken plants and like places. Work or you can starve. Take their children into state care and boot them off the public teat.

Even the "the Happy Mexican" posted he absolutely believes American blacks and whites do not have the same work ethics as Hispanics.
Discrimination to judge one group works harder than others.

So are you implying that illegals should just be allowed to keep working in this country? In your previous post you implied that this was a crappy job (and it is) and so are you implying that only illegals should do this work? And you also seemed to me quite disparging towards what you called Hillbilies (although you did mispell that word) that sounds mighty elitist to me.

yes it is discrimination to make claim that one group works harder based on race. The hard working Hispanic is a myth. There are hard working wihtes balcks asian and all sorts of hard working people that are not Hispanic and are not prejudice towards others working together. In fact the hard working Hispanic myth is comical since Mexico and Latin America are considered third world and if Hispanics are such hard workers then why are these peoples countries third world nations?

Ha, talk about discrimination! Your use of the outdated term "third world" is not accurate. Mexico is the richest country in Latin America when measured in GNP.(Gross National Product).

You claim one group is a myth and then use a myth to try and prove it. lol.

Do some research.

Did you know Saudi Arabia is considered a "third world" country? Guess they don't work very hard either eh?
