Maybe Americans are still buying from these people because they have to eat and chicken is just about the most economical meat to feed their family. I live very close to where these plants were raided and they don't pay low wages. I can tell you for sure that a lot of people will not work in a chicken processing plant. Sorry to burst your bubble regarding wages and who wants to work but in this case it's true. Don't you think something should be done so an employer can fill these jobs? Maybe a real guess worker program where people come and work for a contracted time and then go home.

Actually they may not be 'scab' labor. They might be illegal, they might have fake ID, but they also might have a union card too. When I worked as an electrician in a meat packing plant a few years ago, when we were hired on at IBP, part of the first day was doing paperwork. During that time the Teamsters came in complete with a Mexican speaker with union cards. At no time did they tell those in Spanish that the filling out of the union cards was voluntary, they made it sound manditory. With Texas being a 'free state' (non-union), this was strange. So apparently the unions that work in food production like having illegals because they won't challange anything, they will just 'sign the paper'. Note the following:

We have a name brand chicken processing plant about 18 miles from me, where on 2 separate occasions during the winter while driving to or from their 'job' car loads of illegals lost control of their car (they had no Ohio valid license) and smashed into other drivers killing people, might be wrong but I think 3 people were killed. The paper said they MIGHT be deported, WTF???? might????? AND in court we had to provide interpreters. Just makes me SICK!!!

A friend of mine recently told me this story. He works in a pork processing plant in northern Missouri and it's full of illegals, good wages are paid but the work is hard. He says the illegals are willing to work 7 days a weeks 10 hours a day. He says there are a group of orientals working there but they have spanish last name stenciled on their helmets, they don't speak english very well but they don't speak spanish at all.
