Wages Improved At Swift Plants After 2006 Raids Picked Up Illegal Workers

Full story: nebraska.statepaper.com

This says it all!!!

All facilities resumed production on the same day as the raids. All returned to full production within five months. This is an indication that the plants could operate at full capacity without the presence of illegal workers.

Absolutely and I don't remember meat prices going up as was predicted. Prices have increased gradually due to petroleum-based packaging products and freight charges.

This just goes to prove the illegal lovers have no basis to claim that America can't do without illegals. It also shows that Americans will do the jobs that illegals are doing, and gee....surprise surprise, the company is willing to pay decent wages.

To bad this isn't done in Southern Califo-Mexico....The biggest "ILLEGAL LOVER" here is Villa-Grossa and he won't let anything or anyone interfere with his "BELOVED ILLEGALS".....AMERICAN JOBS for AMERICAN WORKER'S.......

Illegals have trashed Grand Island NE. Read the local paper and 90 percent plus of the DWI and violent crimes are libeanos/hispanix. The Asians that worked at the kill plant 30-40 years old didn't cause problems.

Does the taxes paid by Swift cover the cost of all the non-English speaking 3rd world worker children in public schools? All the ESL programs and problems.

Report and deport for higher wages!

Just on Fox News:
Jerry Kammer. Since 1980 meat packing plants hourly wages decreased 45%. I don't remember the price of meat decreasing.

Gee, you mean companies can actually thrive without utilizing illegals' services? Well, now, where are all of the pro-illegals who foretold all the doom and gloom that would be the end result to these raids? Another plus to also consider is that the people who are handling our foodstuffs are not infested with TB, hepatitis and MRSA.

I agree. If we were in another country violating their immigration laws,you and I both know that we would experience a hell of alot more than just a raid. Most likely prison, then being shot for violating their immigration laws.

Oh sure, they'll do the job until they get their first paycheck then they'll go back to selling meth out of their trailer.

If you would like to report child abuse by illegals try:
Childhelp® USA National Child Abuse Hotline
1-800-4-A-CHILD®
(1-800-422-4453)
TDD: 1-800-2-A-CHILD

The Federal government has no power in state child abuse cases.
