Actually, I think it was in the article, as only in the right to work states (very few) do you have to go through hoops to fire any one. Most states still allow you to fire people with no warning or reason, as long as it is clearly stated in the HR manual.

Its probably illegal to fire them, but when it comes to replacing them with robots, I would accelerate the incorporation of robots.

Nope, you got it!

It appears that all media (or most) seem to be omitting the word illegal when talking about the immigration issue. The issue is illegal immigration, not immigration in general. Or am I just confused?

Thank you!

",,,I would have at least used English..." Then why don't you? The last part of this sentence has THREE grammatical errors! (1) "...the station had to translated..." , (2) "...the statement giving by...", and (3) "...one of the fired employee."

Pretty good summary Joseph...pretty good...

Indeed, 1984 in a different form...:)

"News speak"...today, I call it, progressive speak (180 to the real thing or meaning), but sometimes, to really confuse them, I call it "Bicameral" speak!

The work ethic which made America great has been lost, it was surplanted by the notion that each was deserving according to their needs whether they produced or not. Sound familiar, then try that obscure Motor Company in Wisconsin. Unions are partially to blame, originally they benefitted the workers by advocating better wages and conditions, but then they coddled the nonproducers at exhorbitant wages scales which eventuall broke the employers. The bailouts benefitted the unions' squandered pension funds and not the employing companies. The void was filled by persons accepting lesser wages and not being exposed as illegal aliens. Employers turned a blind eye and now the consequences are rearing a very ugly head. All of this is made worse by the media and many protestors not distinguishing between legal and illegal immigrants, a scare tactic of the left, insulting the families who did things legally, to wit: My grandfather, lately coming from Germany married my grandmother in 1889 but did not become a citizen until 1899, the certificate of marraige and the naturalization document hang framed on my wall, they were patient. It is obvious that many protestors do not realize that their jobs might be in jeopardy, then what will they do?

Rift, remember the Progressive policy is to "celebrate" all forms of people, and that means allowing them freedom to do anything they want including speak their language. If it isn't understandable, then it is obviously YOUR fault, because you were not open minded enough to learn Spanish, Swahili, Portuguese etc... Yet I am willing to bet the same people who want us to do it, hire only English speaking immigrant slaves for their own servants...

I agree AJ, I believe the borders are the equivalent to your front door. The proponents of the immigration thing would have all of us "peasants" open our front door to anyone who "needs it", irregardless of whether we want visitors or not. There is an established process to allow people in, and all the "immigrants" that keep saying it should be open and unfettered because their parents came in or whatever, miss the point that they went through the system. In their little pea sized world, it doesn't matter if they are going through the system or not, it is just the matter of "letting anyone in". When they have to pay 50% more in taxes to give them food, shelter and medical care, it is a different story, I would suspect. But that isn't today, so it is not a problem...

It is indeed, we should probably go look for their "Go Fund Me" page that they set up the next day for their "unfair termination"...

Amazing how the Progressives believe you should be able to do anything you want "to protest", yet all the real workers and producers "must support them" or be penalized and castigated. Typical irresponsible world view that exists for them...

Isn't it? This is all wrapped up in the smoke and mirrors that pass for media reporting and discussion today....

And here are the same morons who believe those same employers should supply:
1. Mandatory Vacation Leave
2. Mandatory Sick Leave
3. Mandatory Maternity/Paternity Leave
4. Mandatory Health Insurance
5. Mandatory $15 Minimum Wage

The mind boggles...

I find disturbing the anti-sovereignty open border sentiment espoused by objectivists; quite shocking really. I've discussed my perspective here ad nauseam too many times, it all come back to the individual and private property and the right of ownership to do with your property what you will.

Its our door (American's), if you want to come in you meet our criteria. Its not hard nor is the criteria open for debate outside of our house (so to speak)..

I heard the TV news report on that story. I can only assume the fired employees were trying to get some public goodwill to perhaps shame their employer into capitulating to giving them their jobs back. However, if it were me, I would have at least used English, as the station had to translated the statement giving by one of the fired employee. It is so galling that these people believe they are so 'owed' that they don't feel the need to at least use the native language of the country they have invaded.

The Tulsa restaurant owner had an employee agreement that was very specific: if you plan to be absent, call ahead of time so that we can substitute during your absence. The Day Without Immigrants participants in his employ didn't call in, simply not showing up for work, and were fired for not abiding by the agreement. To their credit, the fired employees said he had been a very fair boss, and that they realized they violated the agreement, but had been hoping for just a reprimand. It didn't seem to occur to them that they were being unfair and disrespectful for putting the restaurant in a stressful situation. It's rough being a social justice warrior.

That's beside the point here; the employees would deserve firing no matter how worthy the cause.

Still, I see no moral rule requiring anyone to comply with the outrageous, silly runaround and pile of contradictions it takes to legally immigrate to the US. Make the issue about the welfare state rather than immigration, and maybe something constructive will be done about the real problem. The position "it's illegal immigrants" will only lead the tyrant to loosen the reins of the police even further than now. I don't expect the result to be good from the standpoint of anyone on this list.

It would appear that those who protested by not coming to work expected "A Day Without Immigrants" to morph into "A Day Without Consequences."

Glad to see that was not so!

It's amazing how our complaints of ILLEGAL immigrants and/or immigrants that don't respect our laws or our language, customs, nor our good nature and confuse this legitimate gripe with Legal immigrants that are speaking our language and producing value.
Maybe they have a hearing problem?

Awwww

Bingo! Part of the whole media manipulation thing Trump is complaining about, and they (with McCaine and other republicrats) all say id a road to dictatorship.

Illegal aliens......unfortunately the media mixes immigrants who are here and welcomed to produce with the unknown and unwanted invaders.
