friend, Dan Stein, of Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has an excellent idea: Meatless Monday.
If you are a vegetarian or a practicing Catholic who doesn't eat meat on Lenten Fridays, this shouldn't be hard. And for the rest of us carnivores, we need to send a message to illegal aliens and their employers.
On Monday, Tyson and other meat-packers (Seaboard, Cargill, Hormel, etc.) are giving their alien employees the day off to protest necessary immigration reform. They want to show us what a day without the "services" of illegal aliens would be like.
On Monday, Just Say "No" to Official Meat of Illegals
Let's show them what a day without the customer base of law abiding U.S. citizens would be like. DON'T BUY OR EAT MEAT ON MONDAY! Adds Dan Stein:
Call Seaboard at 1-800-262-7907, Cargill at 1-800-CARGILL (227-4455), Hormel at (507)437-5611 and Tyson at (479) 290-4000 on Monday to let them you are boycotting them for supporting illegal immigration.
Time to take back our country. And by the way, if we really saw a day without illegal aliens, we'd see a day with less taxes taken out of paychecks to pay for the services they are leeching and usurping courtesy of the American taxpayer.
Since we won't see that, Monday will hardly show us what a day without illegal aliens would be like!
Maybe we could start a thread giving free advertising to those employers supporting the demonstrators?
How about no meat MONDAYS? Not just one Monday, but every single Monday until congress passes a comprehensive immigration law. Let's see if that cheap labor will offset the loss of one-seventh of their income.
My parents live in NW Arkansas where most of the Tyson chicken farms and plants are. When I lived there in the eighty's and early ninety's all of the people working at the plants were locals. But when I went back to visit a few years ago I kept seeing all of these old school buses with painted windows driving around. My parents told me that they were full of illegals on their way to work at the Tyson plants.
We have boycotted Tyson for years because of their shady dealings with the Clintons.
You and I both. I am sure there are a lot of shady dealers I don't know about but I won't patronize those I do know about and I know about Tyson.
