    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.

      Education is extremely important.

        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…

            Ok, we're about a week or so post -debate. Now tell me, how much do you remember about that debate? If you were Joe Average on the street, what's the one thing you remember?

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

                              In the meantime, more and more is coming out about the new business model of not outsourcing to third world countries, but to bring third world countries here, instead.

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

                                          I have read through this article. It speaks of migrant labors working with very low pay and living in very poor conditions. It cites no instance of a worker being abducted there against his will, no instance of a worker disallowed to not work a particular against his will, not even an instance of a worker being paid below statutory minimum wage. It describes poor people living a hard life, it does not describe slavery.

                                          Feel free me to cite something concrete from the article that indicates "slavery" if you believe such credible evidence is provided in that article, in case I missed it.

                                          Also, none of the conditions, even the alleged ones (and the word "alleged" does appear many times in the article), is helped by Trump and Vance's rather irresponsible rhetoric. Heck, as DeWine states in his op-ed, Trump and Vance's rhetoric made things worse.
