I hope that anyone who has the opportunity to fire illegals that took of from work today does so and hires legal aliens and citizens in their place.
The nerve!  |
What goes around, comes around, I guess. Employers employing illegal immigrants (for whatever reason) and then treating them so badly that a strike is triggered. An employer is dependant of his workers, illegal immigrants or not. I don't know if these immigrants are organized or not, but I'd guess they aren't.
If this is so then the employers might very well employ other workers, but my guess would be that those new workers will demand more payment than those immigrants. |
This is a solidarity type of strike. It is calling for all illegal aliens to strike, including those that are treated just fine.
BTW, do you have a statistic that shows what percentage of illegal aliens are mistreated by their US employers? I don't think so.
And the main purpose of the strike isn't to protest their work conditions. It's to demand that they be granted amnesty and no longer be illegal.
The nerve!
