But wait. The open-borders folks are always telling us these are jobs Americans won’t do. John “Lettuce” McCain doesn’t think these Americans exist, either. Yet here they are, American citizens lining up to do the work illegal aliens were doing (just like they did after the Colorado Swift raids): Howard Industries found itself at the center of activity again Tuesday. Hundreds of job applicants lined up, eager to take advantage of the sudden job openings at the plant located in Jones County, where the unemployment rate is 6.3 percent. ICE agents on Monday seized 595 plant workers suspected of being in the country illegally. Several workers, who did not identify themselves, said Tuesday they were working and trying to keep the plant operational in the wake of the sudden loss of co-workers. They said it was common knowledge many of their co-workers were suspected to be illegal. It’s an idea that maddens Samantha Stevens, 18, of Heidelberg, who was among those who pulled up to Avenue A across from the plant’s entrance throughout the day. She said she has been unable to find a job since she graduated from Heidelberg High School in the spring and blames, in part, the willingness of companies to hire illegal workers. “We were here first. It’s not fair for them to have a job,” she explained. Others welcomed the vacancies left by the detained workers. Gwendolyn Watkins, 40, of Stonewall said she drove 40 miles to Laurel to fill out an application with the electronics maker. She worked at Tower Automotive in Meridian as a production worker for eight months before job cuts in June left her unemployed. She now hopes to get on at Howard, and said that, while “everyone needs a job,” she believes that legal workers should be the priority. Who’s looking out for them?

Now Howard Industries is going to have to hire white people and pay them a decent wage w/benefits and they won't be able to flog them like they did the mexicons.
You know, that is true..... so where do you think that that there plant will be located next year? Or, possibly, the year after next?
When a man who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, he will either quit being mistaken or cease to be honest. ++++++++++ Attention, Shrub; A life of evil is ultimately a life of wretchedness.
Where else: communist china Don't think so. Not with the failure of Freddie Mac and his sister, where the Chinese government has stuck, like, 367 billion dollars (earned from foolish Americans and their corrupt pols). Things are just a tad tense on that front. What?! Not friends anymore over a lousey few billions?! Probably South America.
