    Again, one would want to know the selection bias going into the anecdotal reports of the Haitians being better workers than the locals. What % of those Haitians are working those sorts of jobs they are doing better than the locals? And what are the economic, social, and crime impacts of the rest?

      Wow. Look at all the drug addled workers on the company’s FB page. I notice comments are disabled…

      The company’s website is down, too.

        That interview was presumably done before he knew this would blow up to a national story. I am very very sure he regrets every single word he uttered.

            By the way, I can’t speak to McGregor Metal, but I can speak Fourth Street Foods in Charleroi. They opened up a new factory exactly when the influx of Haitians arrived. With multiple passenger vans. That’s kind of unusual for a food manufacturer and distribution company. I mean, trucks? Sure. But passenger vans wouldn’t serve any function in a borough like Charleroi, where most employees provide their own transportation. Why would they need enough passenger vans to transport an entire factory’s worth of employees? Especially when they don’t have more than 2 shuttle vans at any of the other factories… And ignore the fact that the owner worked for Bartolotta’s Grocery Store as a kid and went to college in the same town as Camera Bartolotta (same age as well) and is a known friend and associate of the PA State Senator. And please ignore the fact that Bartolotta’s Family Property (owned by self same Camera Bartolotta) owns much of the residential properties being rented by the Hatian community.

              It would be very interesting to know the wages of these Hatians and how they compare to the native workers.

                I’m curious as to whether they pay FICA? I mean, they are here temporarily, right? That’s the T in TPS. Also, what about benefits?

                There are conflicting stories about Medicare and EBT food stamps as well as HUD.

                  By the way, if Mr. McGregor wants 30 more Haitians, why doesn’t he hire them? I’m sure he can find 30 employees that are derelict in their duties due to the rampant drug addiction in his native staff and with all the extra days off they take, he should be able find some positions to fill… And with 15,000-20,000 hard working Haitians in the community, he should be able to hire 30 in an afternoon…

                      Medicare ain't cheap, the story is probably Medicaid?

                                          @Jolly said in Pets For Dinner:

                                          … to reinstate a form of slavery.

                                          Really? Have you evidence that these immigrants have had their freedoms taken from them?
