    Re: Unemployment has doubled since the Dems took over

    I saw a VERY interesting story on the news about a meat packing plant out in Iowa or somewhere like that.........so I did some research..........

    Well, they were raided 3 times in 4 months, rounding up something like 250 ILLEGAL mexican workers.

    The owner told the newspaper that they'd have to go out of business, due to the lack of labor, and additional labor costs.

    In today's economy people ARE willing to work, and putting AMERICANS to work is good for AMERICANS.

    I'm just saying.......there are jobs that AMERICANS are willing to do.

    You might be surprised about the willingness of Americans to take jobs. I was recently at a little fishing get-together outside of Kalamazoo, MI and one of the guys there owns a greenhouse operation. Pretty big business in that area of the country. He offers $14.50/hr with benefits working 9 months out of 12. Nobody wants to work for that. Guess what the majority of his workers are?

    People that think they are just going to waltz right into a $30/hr job right out of high school with no further education, well you'll be looking for a while. Even with a college education it's no guarantee.
