Ah, yes....close the meat packing plants so the illegals can go to their protest. Wouldn't want to offend the illegals...

For those of you who didn't know-Dodge City is home to multiple meat packing operations that hire 90% illegals. I once worked there to pay for college, so I know the deal. Nowadays the town is 75% illegal and the city has collapsed. Schools bursting, hospital on the ropes, property tax increases of 15% a year for the last decade to "help" our new friends...

Welcome to the end of your country and enjoy a cheap Kansas steak..hehe!

I never, ever in a thousand years could have imagined Dodge City being overrun by Mexicans. I fear for my home state.

I did some work in a meat processing plant in rural America recently. In a town of 3500 people, there was a plant that employed 1500 workers (most immigrants). The plant was understaffed but couldn't hire any more because the town was at it's effective carrying-capacity of immigrants. There was an identical plant, from the same company, 6 miles down the road in the next town of 3500 with the same issues.....and another one 20 miles away.

Around 95 a huge wave of illegals came in.
The plants expanded. Wages went from around 15/hour in the 80s to 10/hour in the mid 90s.
That's when I worked there.
Today wages are around 7/hour.

There are two meat packing plants in DC employing around 2-3000 each. In a town of 25-30,000.
half the plant workforce is straight from Mexico-Nortenos mostly.
A Quarter is Guatemalen/Salvadoran and the remainder Anglos or Mexican-Americans in management.

Since the human tsunami first appeared in 95 we have built 4 new schools and 2 new jails, with a declining tax base because anyone who can flee has fled...hehe.

It's a friggin nightmare. I got out of there with college-same with some of my relatives.
The old relatives are stuck there living in Tijuana, Kansas.

I think we should adopt Mexico's Immigration policies.

No doubt!

Also, it's not just Cargil, but also Tyson, Swift and ConAgra are shutting down to show their support for their illegal alien workers....

If you can't tell, I'm of the opinion that Cargill, et. al, are simply Anti-American Scumbags.
But sometimes I feel I am being too generous....hehe

Stopping this madness has to come from the very top, that's the only thing that will give law enforcement the courage, the wherewithal and the incentive to do something about it. But Rome burns while Curious George fiddles in the WH and calls good Americans 'vigilantes'.

Confiscate the plants. Auction them off to law abiding American entrepreneurs. And send the illegal aliens packing, after any property they possess is confiscated to help defer the cost. Bring in legal guest workers, if needed to fill any vacancies that cannot be filled.

As they see it, they already are in Mexico. And the way our leaders are dealing with it, (doing nothing), we have surrendered our Southwest back to Mexico with less of a fight than France put up against Germany.

Don't be surprised if Canada demands Maine back and Bush calls those Americans who oppose it "vigilantes". The difference between Bush and Kerry is shrinking more and more every day.
