"This is a German Company that you got to work, you got to be local. They're going with the lowest bidder. If the lowest bidder has illegal workers that's a whole different matter," Said Mobile City Councilman Fred Richardson.
On Monday News Five showed you two workers who admitted they were undocumented yet still getting hired to build the new steel mill.
"Here there are a lot of lazy people, lazy people that sometimes don't want to work. So then that's why they bring us sometimes for that very reason. And for us who want to work, we get in on it,"Said one undocumented worker.
Tomorrow, Donnie Adams plans to protest at the plant with other members of the Mobile-Pensacola Building and Construction Trades Council.
"If you live here and pay taxes here you should be able to work there. I mean over a billion dollars in incentives was given by our local and state governments for that purpose to bring them here to build that facility and we think that's not too much to ask,"Said Adams.
While local leaders hope T.K. will make it a requirement for their contractors to use the Federal E-Verify system to check worker's documents, Mobile City Councilman Fred Richardson says they can't force them to comply.
But he says when it comes to the 2,700 steel mill jobs, they plan to hold T.K. to their end of the bargain.
