| The New Bedford Raid... Watching a cast on NECN yesterday about this. Amazingly they filled just about all 300+ positions that were 'vacated' in just two days. All with legal, local residents. Still think the local Americans don't or won't do 'that' kinda work? Guess again. I believe they said the highest hourly rate of hire was $8.00/hr and working conditions were quesionable. Yet they still managed to fill up the spots...
One dude said it well. When asked about his new job he said something to the effect that it's not that they WON'T do that kinda work, it's that they CAN'T due to illegals doing it for half the pay...
Apparently, honest, legal immigrants and Americans were lined up around the outside of the building waiting to get in to apply... |
