Hunter The point is that the plant is running with legal workers. I do not know whose facts are correct Hunter's or yours, but I do know that illegal immigration has depressed wages for Americans by an average of 44%. I also know that jobs is meat packing at one time were good paying jobs. That figures that Hunter quoted were the same as in other papers articles. It is your figures that are inconsistent.

And who in the media will call him on his lie?

Sadly, not Wolf Blitzer or Tim Russert or their ilk. So many lies to keep up with. Thanks for the story.

dumb congressman If meatpackers really did pay 18 bucks an hour as a starting wage they would get plenty of legal citisens in line for jobs. The penalties to companies AND thier officials are not harsh enough to their bottom line and persons to keep them from continuieing to hire illegals.
