Oh man, another one? How many more have to die?????
So, another little Latino brown skinned man dies on a construction site......not to worry.....those greedy bastard developers have many more to throw into the ranks and his job will be filled by the next work shift!
Isn't it high time that safety issues are given more serious attention in this corrupt industry? !!!
Again and again you will see this happend.
I am sick and tired of people telling me that these jobs are taken by people who do the work refused by Americans.
In this country, it part of our tradition that anyone should be willing to work hard to advance themselves.
I hate it when they think that work is beneath the dignity of an American. I hate it when they think that hard work is only worthy for immigrants.
They are trying to make this country a class society based on origin. In doing that, they will destroy our nation.
Gee, where are the immigrant advocay groups (oh going after 'affordable housing' - well we know who finances your little non-profit.)
Where is the outrage in the press that immigrants are, as in 1907, treated like expendable cattle?
