More than half the shipyard workers were Wetbacks - yep, that’s what they were called back then so don’t give me any PC correction therapy.

Ike kicked out the Wetbacks in 1954. Read about it here:

No. Mrs pissant is a short blonde. But I’ll check with her to see if we can hire this gal for domestic help. LOL

Maybe they could set an apprentice program up for military after they are discharged. Many come out without a civilian trade.

Seriously I really have to wonder about the loyalties of people who are so desperate to keep us at the mercy of foreign countries.

Wonder no more! $$$$$$$$

Say what you will, but I have certain "objections" (to put it lightly) with foriegners working on the naval facet of America's military.

Agreed. Completely.

When haven’t they had problems? BTW, Bath ME is doing just fine with a 100% American workforce.

The focus of this bill was on workers in the yard. Much like the prevailing wage road building projects in Massachusetts that were discovered to have one-third illegals working there, there have been abuses at some government facilities. This bill aims to prevent that.
