Yes, it really pays to hire ILLEGALS .... .

Or has the state cracked down on EMPLOYERS hiring ILLEGALS?

Is THAT why they vanished along with the goods?

(Didn’t read the article, suprise me.)

100 people from Nepal in one factory? How many people could a DVD factory in Alabama possibly employ?

That’s strange, the two seven-elevens that are near where I live are run by Nepalese.

I’m waiting for everyone coming in to get a chip implant. That’s the only way we’ll ever be able to keep track of our aliens. Since criminals wear a cuff when they parole or get probation, it’s only a matter of time, I suppose.

Why are workers from Nepal working in a factory here in America in the first place?

Something is wrong with this story.

Therre was a big stink raised about bringing them here in the first place.

My first guess is that if they took refrigerators and sofas and other furniture, they weren’t flying out of Huntsville Intl Airport. Smart money says they didn’t return to Nepal.

Cinram . . . said it turned to foreign workers because the area job market couldn't fill its needs.

They mean that local workers weren't willing to work at $8 an hour and no benefits, more likely.

Somehow I find it hard to believe that these Nepalese took a whole bunch of stolen furniture with them and flew back to Nepal with it.

The problem is they SNEAK IN.

Can’t implant anyone if you can’t get your hands on them.

We’ll wind up getting the implants and they won’t!

It amazes me how little anybody knows in this story.

The landlords have no clue where they went, but know they took the landlord’s property with them. The employer can’t figure it out, it appears. Unsurprisingly, DHS is utterly clueless that these people exist in the first place. And the “reporter” is uncurious about the whole thing.

Thanks for the summary.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION pisses me off.

“At one point, INS came in and cleared out the factory’s illegal mexican contingent. It was funny to hear the multitude of “now hiring” ads placed on the radio afterwards.”

Did they deport them?

Fine the EMPLOYER?

I swear, I did a search. I think it’s preposterous that ‘nobody knows anything.’
