I have been saying this for several years now, not only chatting about the problems illegals pose, but how they are taken advantage of also by thier employers. They have taxes taken out of thier pay checks that are deposited in non existing accounts and then at some point returned to the person who owns the company. So while they may be paying $7.50 per hour less bennys, they are actually only paying $5.00 per hour because the employer gets the other $2.50 per hour back when the government figures out the employee was using a fake SS #. On top of that they never get OT. I see this all the time.

Apparently, these guys were born too late--they should have been running factories round about the 1880s

Some of the workplace rules that folks were talking about around the New Beffa courthouse today:

One bathroom break a day, timed at two minutes. Workers were "fined" $25 if they spent more than 2 minutes in the can. That would probably constitute a day's take-home.

Workers were docked an hour's pay for being 1 minute late.

The owners/managers are being prosecuted in Federal Court.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
