Liberals won't stop at anything to buy votes with our tax dollars, will they? The same offers wouldn't be made to existing CITIZENS living in poverty, why give a CRIMINAL illegal the leg up?

American companies stop at nothing in order to exploit latin America. An assembly-line of 15 workers has to make 15 t-shirts every 3 minutes, producing 3,400 shirts each day for US$7 per worker - a paltry 3 cents per shirt. Sweatshops can be found around the globe. Crowded t-shirt sweatshops are filled with dust, lint and noisy machinery. Some of the worst t-shirt factories are concentrated in poor Central American countries like Honduras and El Salvador where the average annual wage is less than US$2,500. Central American sweatshops are subcontracted by large apparel manufacturers like Gildan Activewear (Honduras) and Fruit of the Loom (El Salvador). Fruit of the Loom refuses to identify its factories, claiming that information is a corporate trade secret. The official website (www.fruit.com) simply states that the company makes its own yarn, knits the cloth, cuts the fabric, sews the garments, and packages the product. However, a report published by London-based activist group No Sweat includes photos of shirt labels smuggled out by Honduras sweatshop workers. The photos show labels from Fruit of the Loom as well as Hanes, Nike, Adidas and Gildan.

Hispano, Are we supposed to feel sorry for them STEALING our jobs?? I don't think so.....Here's an idea, if they don't like the working conditions how about NOT showing up for work? How much would they make at other jobs? I know when I was stationed in the military the average salary in the Philippines was $20 per month so $7 per day is REALLY appealing, about 20 times the average salary. Put things in perspective before you try to get someone to feel sorry for them. If there also was no demand for the products and if people were willing to spend more, there would be no sweat shops!
