Illegal Immigrant Scheme at Pilgrim's Pride

Full story: www.tylerpaper.com

For years, federal agents had received tips alleging undocumented immigrants were working at plants owned by the Pilgrim's Pride Corp., the nation's largest chicken producer. This spring, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Dallas acted on leads that pointed toward two of the company's seven East Texas plants. Undercover agents posing as illegal immigrants infiltrated an alleged network of job-seekers who paid hundreds of dollars for fraudulent identification while those responsible for hiring them looked the other way.

I wonder how many illegals you will find in the other five East Texas plants? Then go to the chicken farms they own or lease. The area around Center, Texas is full of illegals.

It's not a matter of what Americans will or will not do -- it's a matter of what standards are in place so that jobs of any and every nature receive compensation not only equivalent to the work done, but up to the minimum standards that are in place to protect from slave labor. Pilgrim is, and will always be, a crook. If he serves the rest of his pittiful existance in jail, he will be getting out of his crimes quite easily.

Imo it's the employers who fuel the problem. They have stockholders who demand to see a rise in their profits each and every year, and if that means hiring illegals or outsourcing jobs to 3rd world countries, so be it...all they care about is making more and more money. They do not care one bit about their own communities, and the stress/burdens that these behaviors put on them.

That is the reason the Raids need to continue, put the employer and employee on notice, it is not in your best interest to hire illegals. Hold employers accountable, but not to the extent jobs are eliminated

And what does that have to do with illegal aliens?
Nothing, except that you want to attack anyone who opposes illegals.
Don't you live around Dallas...kinda near Denton where some Mexican trash killed and burned a white girl? And that was an illegal who did that.

Pilgrim's Pride is not the only place to look. A lot of the lumber mills and timber companies brought in foreign labor. Many did it legally. The
problem is that once the green card holder got here and settled he then illegally slipped in his family. While he earned a good wage...not below mimimum wage...probably less than Americans were earning, though....his wife and kids were signing up for social services. Right now, in Jasper, there is a crew of Mexicans working at new home construction. They have a legal Mexican owner who has a crew of illegals. He pays them peanuts and can under bid everyone else. The greedy builders hire him and pocket the profits...the homeowner does not see a penny of this. I wonder how many times this is happening in small town America all accross the country?

What can't you afford, not to have illegals? Not only is there a cost issue but an income issue, wages won't be depressed, and over all lower income and unskilled workers will be making more

Please report ALL illegals to ICE 1-866-DHS-2-ICE
1-866-347-2423
Illegals WILL be the begining of the end for America! In my opinion they are all spineless cowards that do not deserve this great land! Through out American history any time the people are oppressed , what did we do? WE FOUGHT BACK! We fought for our freedom and built this land from the ground up! Why don’t the Mexicans do the same? Its sad to think that these people will just tuck tail and run here when they have the power to make change, even if 1/3 of the ones over here now were to take up arms they Could change mexico today! The truth is that third world countrys don’t produce third world governments, it’s the people that run the country into the ground , and before you know it that will be Americas downfall. Take a moment and look at your history books and see what happened to other civilizations when they let others in.

You don't pay state tax on food in Texas...only non-food items.

My point is that illegals in Texas who work for cash do buy food without paying tax. Only if they buy non-food items do they pay state sales tax.
But, one thing for sure is that any illegal alien living and working in Texas is committing a crime....a federal crime.

Daily Horoscope for December 31

Aquarius

The more you want to control someone, or someone wants to control you, the more difficult life will be today. It's a Full Moon and a lunar eclipse, so the last thing you should do now is to act as though you own this person, or tell them what to do, because it will be an instant recipe for rebellion and trouble. Mars is retro in your house of significant others and open enemies after all. If you don't want to spoil the evening's celebrations you'll have to make compromises, and hope that this other person will do the same. Don't let the fuss stop you having a very happy New Year's Eve.
