Illegal Immigration
Linked to Lower Wages
Duuuuhhh
Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- December 19 Tucker, CNN...there
is no denying that wages in the meet packing industry have been
on a steady decline over the past two decades. It's the reason
why that's in dispute. Reyes (Lawyer): We have eighteen plaintiffs who believe
that in the last few years wages have been depressed from twenty
dollars an hour down to about twelve dollars an hour because
Swift has been able to replace U.S. citizens, most of which,
again, are Mexican- Americans, and legal resident aliens with
illegal immigrants.
[...] Tucker: The suit also makes the claim that Swift and Company's
activities violated the Racketeer, Influence and Corrupt Organization
Act. (See
Mohawk Carpet case). WatchTranscript
