Coalition for a Working Oregon and McMinnville Area Chamber of Commerce June 17th to Hold Breakfast Seminar on Immigration Issues Economic impact of immigration laws on local businesses will be highlighted
By Coalition for a Working Oregon,
The Coalition for a Working Oregon (CWO) is made up of 20 employer groups representing more than 300,000 Oregon workers. The coalition, which is committed to ensuring that Oregon employers have access to a stable, legal labor supply, will be facilitating a seminar in conjunction with the McMinnville Chamber of Commerce regarding the immigration debate. Jeff Stone with the Oregon Association of Nurseries and Jerry Simnitt with Simnitt Nursery are the scheduled speakers at this event.
One of the discussion points will be the results of a CWO-commissioned economic study that looked at the economic ramifications of proposed immigration rules. The study found, among other things, that if Oregon’s 97,500 undocumented workers were eliminated from the Oregon economy, local business owners could see their income reduced by 8.5% and the state could see an immediate loss of 173,500 Oregon jobs.
The mission of CWO is to educate Oregonians about the importance of passing comprehensive immigration reform at the federal level. Attendees at this event will learn about the current immigration debate, what has been enacted, what has been proposed and how these actions affect Oregon businesses and employers.

I don’t feel sorry for any of you. If you had enforced the laws of the United States of America this problem would never have existed! What is the matter with you idiots that can not live by the rule of law?…
We have many thousands of legal people born here in this state out of work that would be happy to take the place of the “Illegal” people that receive more free benefits than a natural born person living here all there lives can acquire. You must have a hard time sleeping at night, oops that is wrong, IT PROBABLY DOES NOT BOTHER YOU AT ALL. I HOPE SOME OF THEM ARE YOUR FAMILY AND THAT YOUR FAMILY KNOWS THE CAUSE OF THEIR STRAITS. SOME I IMAGINE ARE IN DIRE STRAITS. I CONSIDER ANYONE THAT IS OUT OF WORK THAT HAS TO STEAL OR BEG TO GET FOOD TO FEED THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES YOUR DOING AND YOU IN THE LEADERSHIP OF THIS STATE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THE ONLY REASON FOR CORRUPTION IN MOST INSTANCES IS GREED AND THEIR IS PLENTY OF THAT TO GO AROUND FROM HERE ALL THE WAY TO THE HELL HOLE CALLED WASHINGTON D.C. ……IF YOU CAN NOT TELL, I AM PISSED AND IN NO MOOD TO PUT UP WITH THE WISHY WASHY AND CORRUPT WAYS OF THE LEADERS IN OREGON EITHER. AGAIN I SAY, IF YOU HAD ENFORCED THE LAWS OF THIS STATE AND THE COUNTRY WIDE FROM COAST TO COAST WE WOULD NOT HAVE THE “GANG PROBLEMS” AND THE “ILLEGALS” FROM SOUTH OF THE BORDER TO CONTEND WITH IN THE FIRST PLACE. CORRECT YOUR WAYS AND DO THINGS AS YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD. STOP TAXING THE PEOPLE TO DEATH AND LIVE AND LET LIVE WITHIN THE LAWS OF THE LAND. PUT THE LEGAL PEOPLE TO WORK IN THIS COUNTRY AND THINGS WILL START GETTING BETTER. YOU KNOW WHAT THE LAWS OF MEXICO ARE AND IF WE WERE TO PULL THIS BULL ON THEM AND ASK FOR FREEBIES AND MEDICAL AND FOOD AND SCHOOLING AND WHATEVER ELSE WE WOULD NEVER GET OUT OF JAIL AND IN MANY PLACES JUST BE SHOT……..SO WHAT HAVE THE ILLEGAL PEOPLE OF OREGON OR ANYWHERE ELSE GOT TO HOLLER ABOUT WHEN THEY KNOW PEOPLE WITH NO GUTS TO FOLLOW THE LAW WILL SEND THEM BACK HOME. THEY KNOW THEY CAN AND WILL GET AWAY WITH IT. ENOUGH, YOU MAKE ME NAUSEOUS AND I GOTTA GO. DO THE JOB YOU WERE ELECTED TO DO OR GET THE h*** OUT! BE A MAN AND DO THE JOB CORRECTLY AND WITH ETHICS AND MAYBE YOU WILL SLEEP BETTER…….

When people from other countries have to work so hard to come to the US legally, I find it very difficult to support the idea that it’s OK to cross our borders illegally and get more services than many of our legal residents!!
