State Senate Supports Immigrant Walkout On Monday
CAUTION!!!
EG42ONE....SIT DOWN AND DO A BIG ONE BEFORE YOU READ THIS!
An employment service in Mobile, Alabama recently received an "urgent request" to fill 270 job openings from contractors who were hired to rebuild and clear areas of Alabama devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The agency immediately sent 70 laborers and construction workers to three job sites.
After two weeks on the job, the men were fired by employers who told them "the Mexicans had arrived" and were willing to work for lower wages. The Americans had been promised $10 an hour, but the employers preferred Mexicans who would work for less.
Employment agency manager Linda Swope told The Washington Times, "When they told the guys they would not be needed, they actually cried ... and we cried with them. This is a shame."
Ms. Swope said that employment agencies throughout Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi all face similar problems because an estimated 30,000 men from Mexico and Central and South America, many in crowded buses and trucks, came into those three states after Hurricane Katrina, willing to work for less than whatever was paid to American citizens.
