Immigrants' firing leads to protest
Immigrants' firing leads to protest
How quickly the image of latino immigrants as accountable and hard working is being replaced by the very vocal and visual culture of entitlement we are seeing across the nation. (that's what happens when you let unions and leftist activist ride your cause for all it's worth, to them)
Just note a few quotes from the linked story:
"If the workers knew they would have been fired for attending the March 27 rally in Detroit, they never would have skipped the morning shift..." Why would any adult think you can "skip" work and not risk being fired, for any reason, much less to show support for illegal activity.
"Herrada and about 20 union officials went Monday to Wolverine Packing Co" - Isn't it wonderful that not only do over a dozen of the employees have such a luxurious lifestyle they can afford to take a day off work without approval, but here's 20 union officials with no productive function other than to be professional harassers.
"They were fired "for standing up for their rights," Herrada said." - No, they were fired for skipping work. Silly activist.
"Most have children and are worried about supporting their families, Herrada said." - Then maybe they shouldn't have left work then, you think? I have kids, and I'm of latin immigrant heritage, but I'm also a responsible parent who appreciates keeping my job.
"It was not fair,'" said Mercedes, a 31-year-old Detroit woman who attended the rally and was fired. "We went to fight for our rights." - bully for you! I've marched in the 60's, but that was my decision, and this was yours. If your boss was okay with it, he would have said "go march, I love the idea". Tenga su torta y cómala también.
There are laws for citizenship, and there are rules in the work place. Ignoring either has consequences for civil societies.

Telegraph | Opinion | How a flock of French dodos could drag down Europe
Telegraph Opinion How a flock of French dodos could drag down Europe
The French - so arrogantly bullish in their pursuit of mediocrity. I'm beginning to think they indeed excel in their collective leveraging of stupidity.
