However, I understand, you guys are not interesting in talking about the problem, you just want to bash anyone who brings up the subject.

I tried to talk to them. However, you all have missed the point. I am not bashing the workers, I am bashing Spectrum. If I lived in a country that paid $10 a week, I would try to move to a country where I could make a weeks wages in an hour. I don't blame them at all, I blame the American companies that hire them to drive down wages,

Good questions!

I am curious; did Acumen try to engage the workers and was unable to converse with them because of the language barrier, or did he just hear them speaking in Spanish to each other and assume they were unable to speak English?

I would assume somebody might've stepped forward at this point, sure.

But we can wait as long as you wish. I'm pretty confident I know the end result.

Shoot, this would be a good time for someone to just make up a screen name. I suggest "Wannaworkforspectrum" or "putmeonthecrew!"

You assume people who are on gowilkes 24/7 are looking for a job.

I don't know why asking that question upsets you.

Maybe you could specifically detail what I have gotten incorrect.

I never thought about that, you might be right.

What is the problem? The problem is you are full of shiz.

So...nobody on GoWilkes apparently wants these jobs.

The original premise of this thread obviously revolved around the word "illegal," but that word had been withdrawn.

The jobs in question are obviously necessary.

Spanish-speaking workers are available to the jobs.

Spectrum hired them...again, no one else has come forth to claim these jobs.

What's the problem again?

Please don't denigrate these workers, they are probably fellow Democrat voters.

What diference does it make if they were illegal or not? They are not from Wilkes and they are not from the USA. They were brought here by capitalists pig to take American jobs to drive down wages. If you are to stupd to take care of yourself, you deserve it. Actually I am better off with them here driving down your wages.

also how do you know they were illegal, did you go up to them and ask for a green card? just because they were talking spanish doesnt make them illegal!

When I first moved back to Wilkes, I put in for a job with Spectrum a number of times. I never even got an interview. With my back ground, Spectrum should have jumped at the chance to hire someone like me.

Well I'm sure there wasn't any need for a wizard working at spectrum. I'm not sure that's really a qualification for any job� I'm all seriousness though springy, why are you so racist against Hispanics. If they are qualified for a job with spectrum and get hired that's awesome wouldn't you think.

Dale is probably partially right. I wouldn't want to talk to some of these Wilkes County nitwits, either.
