What percentage of solar panels & windmills built in the US are built using illegals?

July 1st, 2010 | by admin |

Months ago when Obama toured a solar panel manufacturing plant all of the workers were told to stay home that day. The vast majority were hispanics.

Didn’t Obama want a bunch of illegals in his green energy photo op?

Almost none. Those kind of manufacturing jobs are high paying, skilled labor jobs, the kind that Americans in unions have. There’s no need for unskilled undocumented workers.

Can you cite a source, and a factual one at that? Every photo I can find of Obama’s solar plant photo ops show him with workers. If "all" the workers stayed home, who is that he’s with?

    None, most (not all) of them are being built in China.

    Now the question I have is; what percent of solar panels and windmills are being installed in the U.S. by illegal aliens?

    Probably less than the % of illegals who harvest the ingredients to make your Baconator

    Nice try. http://seminal.firedoglake.com/diary/50926 "UNION WORKERS (my caps) have been told not to come back until Thursday because of security concerns associated with the President’s visit. "

    So unless you can find some evidence that Solyndra is hiring illegals, I have to put this in the "twist whatever you can to criticize Obama, regardless of the truth" category.

    The answer is probably not any more than are used by military contractors to build planes, etc.

    He didn’t want people going over the photos with a magnifying glass picking out the illegals.

    All construction work is being done by illegals, plus at least half of manufacturing.

    It’s as if Obama forgot that people who were born in the USA need to eat….

    Who cares who is making the product…the product(s) being produced is not viable to sustain households let alone apartment buildings and/or major/minor Office buildings.

    It is throwing good money after bad and a lost cause as this junction in time.

    Everyone need to get over the "Green Idea"!

    Are there things that we as humanity can do, by all means yes there are…grow as many plants and trees humanly possible, they are the filter of the earth……..

    The concept of green is just a money pit!
