Comment from Citizen, American, American citizens

illegal immigrants are part of the reson for increased accidents in this field. they dont know how to do the work, are hired as day labor. some say that these kinds of workers purposely get hurt to go on disability. osha itself does not fine employers enough for these accidents. the fact is that careful operations can reduce 99% of these accidents. the problem is that employers are profiteers first and foremost and really dont care because the govt funds take care of the liability. we need to increase fines on employers who are responsible. you can prevent more than 99% of accidents actually by making sure you are careful BEFORE you act. employers allow negligence. they are in fact encouraging accidents by hiring day laborers who dont even have the least idea how to do the work. i blame employers. the fines should be increased five thousand percent on employers who have accidents. we dont want workers hurt. emploeyrs in the united states, under this bush admnistration, have been getting away with murder. they get huge retirement funds like $400 million a year, and their worrkers get the shaft. the bush cheney administration definitely has a policy that does not protect the working person. we need a change from the horror of this administration which is lax in making sure workers are protected. pay the working man decent wages instead of the dept of labor bringing in foreign labor to wage bust. this same dept that is the cause of these problems, allowing millions of laborers to enter the united states when the us has a 6% to 20% unemployment problem. americans should be getting the jobs, not the traitorous us dept of labor flooding the labor market with foreign labor, which is what it is doing. our govt agencies seem to be working for profiteers and not helping american citizens at all. us dept of labor is part of the problem here. they get their instructions from the crooked slimy politicians in washington dc.
