Three federal agencies and the Mexican consulate in Denver have promised to work together to improve the lives of Hispanic workers in Colorado and to get them the information they need to know their rights. I have an alternative approach, and only one federal agency would be needed to carry it out.

Illegals have rights? I suppose they also collect Workers Compensation if they are hurt on the job?

This *is* a problem that the federal government abets through their tepid enforcement of immigration law. Employers *do* take advantage of illegals.
A local "businessman" paid a couple of illegals to rip asbestos out of an old building being renovated. No masks, no protection.

"New effort underway to protect immigrant workers"I just emailed the reporterette and asked whether these were truly immigrants or illegal aliens. Not clear from headline or story.

{Together, the federal agencies and the Mexican government plan to go out to farm fields, construction sites, restaurants and other job sites to let employees and employers know that no matter what their immigrant status, federal laws protect workers}
Does our federal gov't know that this is the United States of America, not the United States of Atzlan.

Item 9: Watch for further replacement of individual rights for group rights, group rights based on ethnic group. Empires employ this method to enlist certain favored groups in suppressing the others, and racist affirmative action is a classic example of this replacement of our rights as individuals by a race based system of penalties and special privileges. Then the powers that be have only to pay off the leaders of these favored groups, a relatively easy task. Every time you hear the racist euphemism affirmative action, think Civil War II.

According to the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Spanish-speaking workers in Colorado get hurt on the job at a disproportionately higher level than non-Hispanics. The agency says immigrant workers often do not feel comfortable speaking out when they see unsafe conditions at work.
OR, maybe Pablo can't READ ENGLISH, and therefore is UNAWARE of the dangers!!!
Just as I, not knowing Spanish, feel that I am at risk if I go to Mexico, Guatemala, Mexi-Cali and South Florida!
Or Pablo KNOWS that worker's comp is a LOT better than actually working!
Hey, haven't the pro-illegals crowd argued that these Illegal Infiltrators pay taxes, and deserve the benefits? If they are on worker's comp, THEY ARE TAX FREE!!!!
