Not necessarily. Illegal aliens infest every facet of our economy. It's the new norm.
Seems so, but there's a bit of difference between those doing farm work or other labor and being paid "under the table" and people using false IDs and paperwork to take jobs in factories and other businesses that would not hire undocumented workers.
In the link it is reported that ICE said the gun company did nothing wrong, and complied with all the applicable rules and laws.
I believe that this means that those people working under stolen identities still had income and social security taxes withheld from their paychecks the same as everyone else. In other words, the payroll taxes got paid. Both from the employee pay and the company share as well.
I doubt that money will be returned/refunded to the illegal workers, and probably not to the company, either.
Point here is that illegals, working under false papers and identities get taxed and pay those taxes just like the people they are pretending to be.
My two G34's are made in Austria which doesn't have a problem with illegal migrants.
Have you talked to the people in Austria (and other European countries) in the last few decades?? They have lots of problems with illegal immigrants. Just not ones from Latin America. Their problem immigrants are, people from former communist nations, and lately more southern nations from middle east and Africa. They have "guest worker" programs, but they are being overwhelmed and this has been a major "underground" issue since the 70s. I say "underground" because it is rarely in the news, but its there, just something Americans usually don't hear about, or care about.
