When
Deportations Create More Jobs For Black Workers
This is a strange
story out of Chicago which popped last week and really deserves a closer look
by everyone. A bakery on the Northwest Side of the Windy City was sold off
recently, starting a firestorm of controversy in the community. The Cloverhill
Bakery, operating at three different locations, was a major supplier of snack
cakes and related baked goods for Little Debbie, but that customer “walked
away” after the bakery could no longer fulfill their orders. The reason? ICE
had conducted an audit and found that more than 800 primarily Hispanic workers,
many employed through a temp agency, were in the country illegally or otherwise
using stolen or forged identification. The workers who didn’t immediately take
off on their own had to be let go and production plummeted.

Sounds like a
disaster, right? But it gets more complicated. Hostess is in the process of
buying the bakeries and hiring new workers. Given the location and employment
requirements, nearly all of the new workers, largely coming from a different
temp agency, are African-American. The complications come in with the fact that
some activists are now painting this as some sort of racial confrontation which
is being generated by the corporation. This article from
the Chicago Sun-Timespaints it in the worst possible terms,
describing it as the black and Hispanic communities “being pitted against each other.”
But if you read down into the details you’ll see that something remarkable has
happened. (Emphasis added)
In 2015, under
the Obama administration, ICE inspected the documentation of
Labor Network’s employees at Cloverhill. In May 2017, the Trump administration
sent letters to about 800 employees, saying they weren’t authorized to work in
the United States, records examined by the Chicago Sun-Times show.
Those Hispanic employees didn’t return to work, leaving the bakery desperate to fill their jobs. So the
company turned to another placement agency, Metro Staff Inc., and it
provided Cloverhill with workers screened through the government’s
“E-Verification” program. Most of those new employees are African American.
According to a
former consultant to the bakery, MSI paid the black workers $14 an hour, versus
the $10 an hour the Mexican workers were making through Labor Network.
The consultant, Felix Okwusa, says the bakery offered its
remaining Hispanic workers a $1-an-hour premium to train the black replacement
workers.
Despite efforts
in the media and among community organizers to paint this as either some sort
of “Trump hates immigrants” or divisive race war story, this may turn out to be
a huge win for Chicago. First of all, this was an illegal immigration
investigation started under Obama, so you can forget about the Trump line. What
really counts is the results.
Once ICE sent out
those letters, hundreds of illegal aliens knew that their number was up and
simply disappeared. The agency who was placing all of them wasn’t following the
rules and placing illegals in jobs, so they need to be investigated also. But
the owners went through a different agency which uses E-Verify and replaced all
of those workers with citizens.
Remember those
previous stories about black unemployment dropping over the past year? This is
a largely black community so guess who was getting all of those jobs? And
they’re making four dollars an hour more than the positions previously paid
because of the supply and demand rules of the labor market. Would anyone care
to tell me how this is “a bad thing” when hundreds of new
jobs with very modest skill and education requirements open up for
African-American workers at wages well above the minimum?
The Sun-Times
article goes on to air some complaints (which frankly sound totally racist to
me) about how the turnover rate among the new workers is higher and how the
“immigrants” were willing to do this work for less money. That’s an incredible
complaint. They were working for less because they are in the country illegally.
By hiring actual citizens, the company avoids breaking the law even if they’re
forced to pay a bit more to fill all of those positions.
The tale of
Cloverhill Bakery is being depicted as some sort of racial atrocity or
deportation forces gone wild, but it’s actually a success story. We need more
housecleaning operations such as this, not fewer.

E-Verify Ignored in DACA
Negotiations Because ‘Members of Congress Know It Will Work’
Members of Congress broadly oppose a
legislative nationwide E-Verify mandate for employers because “they know it
will work,” said NumbersUSA’s Rosemary Jenks, explaining why E-Verify is not
being pushed in congressional negotiations for an amnesty deal for recipients
of the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
Jenks further noted that both parties are beholden to special interests
supportive of “mass migration.”

PARTNER WITH MEXICO, the LA RAZA DEMOCRAT PARTY and the
PRO-BUSINESS GOP to keep wages for LEGALS depressed (today they are depressed
to 1973 levels).
But you will still get the tax bills for the Mex welfare state and
crime tidal wave!
“Illegal
aliens are not supposed to work, and knowingly providing shelter for illegal
aliens can be construed as harboring and shielding, elements of a felony under
federal law, Title 8 U.S. Code § 1324.”
“Where
aliens and jobs are concerned, even many categories of nonimmigrant aliens
(temporary visitors) including aliens who lawfully enter under the Visa Waiver
Program or with tourist visas may not work in the United States and immediately
become subject to removal (deportation) if they seek gainful employment.”
----MICHAEL CUTLER – FRONTPAGE mag
"Critics
argue that giving amnesty to 12 to 30 million illegal aliens in the U.S. would
have an immediate negative impact on America’s working and middle class — specifically
black Americans and the white working class — who would be in direct competition
for blue-collar jobs with the largely low-skilled illegal alien
population." JOHN BINDER

"Additionally,
under current legal immigration laws, if given amnesty, the illegal alien
population would be allowed to bring an unlimited number of their foreign
relatives to the U.S. This population could boost already high legal
immigration levels to an unprecedented high. An amnesty for illegal aliens
would also likely triple the number of border-crossings at the U.S.-Mexico
border." JOHN BINDER

“At the current rate of invasion
(mostly through Mexico, but also through Canada) the United States will be
completely over run with illegal aliens by the year 2025. I’m not talking about
legal immigrants who follow US law to become citizens. In less than 20 years,
if we do not stop the invasion, ILLEGAL aliens and their offspring will be the
dominant population in the United States”…. Tom Barrett
95 MILLION AMERICANS (Legals) HAVE NO WORK AS THE
BORDERS ARE FLOODED WITH FOREIGNERS SUCKING UP JOBS, WELFARE AND VOTING
DEMOCRAT FOR MORE!
