Labor Hilda Solis urges illegals to call government for help in getting paid fairly

Come on now, who says the Obama Administration is not doing something about the illegal immigration problem? From sending 1200 troops to desk jobs somewhere near the Mexican border, to suing Arizona for complying with federal immigration laws, you can rest assured that our government is working on behalf of the American people.

And now Department of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis has upped the ante. She’s created a Public Service Announcement, at your expense, to promote this important message: illegals in America can demand higher wages. The PSA even includes a phone number for these poor, exploited workers to call and report their racist employers. Again, at your expense.

Make sure you do your part and call 1-866-487-9243. If you don’t have an evil business owner to report, you can just call and tell them to F off. And please, tell them I Hate The Media sent you.

  • 24 hours later, and I am still pissed. This just got picked up on foxnews.com and there are already 364 comments.

  • Consider this, I wonder whats going to happen when some disgruntled Union Members call in on the line because their 'bosses' negotiated a contract that has the company paying the Union 65% of the wage and leaving the remaining 35% to the worker. The 35% that will be taxed twice (Once when the member receives his cut for preforming labor, and again when the Union doles out the "vacation" check). Oh yeah, and don't forget the money members have to pay back into the Union in yearly due's and job by job "working dues". I'm sure somehow the Union bosses are exempt from being hassled by the same socialist idiots they are in bed with politically.

  • Lester, CHILL. I was kidding.

    I am dying here. I am a right of far-right Conservative living in a frozen wasteland where the supposedly "conservative" party is left of Obama. LEFT of Obama! And they are called "the fascist right." This is one sick country.

    I had the honor of living in the States for many years (yes, LEGALLY) but have had to return to the frozen North to care for my elderly parents. I had to return my (legally obtained) Green Card because I wouldn't be able to return within a year. I cried when I relinquished it.

    The reason I'm learning Spanish is because I'll be returning when my work here is done and I had better know Spanish because English will probably be a second language by then.

    Oh, and BTW, while I'm up here freezing my ass off, I continue to pay U.S. taxes.

    Feel better now?

    • I am happy you are a part of the group of sane people. By sane, I do mean those with conservative ideology. The insane posters here are the liberals that drop in on occasion to wallow in their own crap. Love Canada BTW, a great place to visit with a lot of nice people. Just a little too liberal for me to ever want to live there.

  • Jim J thinking to himself after watching these videos - "Breathe deeply, calm down, don't type, say or think anything that Janet Napolitano can hold against you in a court of law, your not a racist, your just upset right now because your tax dollars are going to support sh@t like this and despite your 20 years of service to the U.S. in the armed forces you haven't seen a pandering PSA like this aired to remind veterans of their rights, its all good, the system will work and they will all be removed from office in the near future, Big Sis is watching, don't say it, no threatening language, don't say it, calm down.......". These people aren't just stupid, their freakin criminals.

    • Very good point, Jim J: "you haven’t seen a pandering PSA like this aired to remind veterans of their rights"

  • Sorry guys, but I for one am delighted with this new development. I'd be watching your Northern borders if I were you, eh?

    Barb in Canada (learning Spanish as we speak ....)

    ;o)

    • Of course you are, Barb. You're a liberal, so you're not using the brains you were born with. What part of illegal did you not understand? It SHOULD go like this. "May I speak with the person in charge of making sure I get paid right for my illegal work?"
      "I'm going to need the name and address of the company that isn't paying you right."
      "ABC Widgets in Chicago."
      "Ok, we'll send ICE over right away to arrest the owner of ABC Widgets, and everyone in the building. You will be deported, and the owner and everyone there that knew you were illegal will go to jail. Thank you very much. Oh, and you can forget about that paycheck, the company is closed now."

      • Lester, you obviously missed the wink at the bottom of my post.

        Please scroll down for reply/clarification.

  • I don't see anything wrong with letting people know that they have more rights than you're average American citizen.

  • Where does the BO admin find these lame-o's? I thought every hippy, community agitator, race-baiter, American-hater, non-thinker and commie had been hired as a czar or storm trooper.

    It's so very apparent none of these dips lives in the area or has to deal with the illegal issues every day. REMEMBER in NOVEMBER!!

  • Go to the Dolores Huerta - 30 Second media clip and learn about the FREE housing and safe transportation that is provided. IT'S THE LAW! Oh, and I accidently set my fax machine to call that number all day-- ooops!
