Workers Hurt by Failure to Curb Illegal Immigration

Any politicians who refuse to support the American worker should be in need of new jobs themselves

An article in New Jersey’s Star Ledger addresses a major issue where illegal aliens are concerned: the practice of hiring illegal aliens willing to do the work Americans should be doing but are unable to do because the illegal alien workforce is willing to accept substandard wages, no benefits, and often dangerous conditions that in and of themselves are illegal. The Carpenter's Union is suing the D. R. Horton Construction Company for hiring illegals and subsequently laying off union workers.
The allegations are all too familiar: the illegal aliens are working for substandard wages and for no benefits. My heart goes out to the laid-off employees. I support the tactic of their union in suing the Horton Company of Fort Worth, Texas. This is a strategy that I hope will be used throughout the United States to combat unscrupulous employers.
