Immigration Raid Opens Jobs For Legal Residents

Those who say illegal immigrants are not taking jobs from Americans need
only look at a working class Massachusetts town where hundreds of locals
have rushed to apply for jobs at a factory recently raided by immigration
officials.

Incredibly, the raided New Bedford leather factory openly employed hundreds
of illegal immigrants yet was awarded a lucrative $100 million Department of
Defense contract to stitch back backs and vests for U.S. soldiers in Iraq
and Afghanistan.


Incredibly? I find it very credulous. Nothing's a bigger joke than
the law which states that companies can hire foreign workers if no
"qualified Americans" can be found. They don't look very hard.



Immigration officials raided the company earlier this month and arrested 361
illegal workers, mostly from Central America and Mexico. Sixty-six of the
aliens arrested already had final deportation orders that predated the raid
yet they remained in the U.S. undetected. The company's owner and three
managers were also arrested although a skeleton staff continues operating
the facility.

Within days of the immigration raid, more than 400 local residents in the
depressed factory and fishing town with the state's highest unemployment
rate, applied for the newly vacant jobs. New Bedford's unemployment rate is
nearly double the national rate although its estimated 100,000 residents are
more than willing to work. The city's mayor sees the immigration raid as a
positive thing that has created hundreds of new jobs for New Bedford's
qualified and legal residents.


Yes, and the honkies will quit next month allowing the illegal
immigrants to take over again. Everybody's more than willing to work,
until they find out they actually have to work.
