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.
This is insane! The terroists threaten this country and they are allowed to, someone care to explain why no one will stop them?
Sounds like Dodge City needs a new sheriff, a bad a$$.
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.
No one will probably give you the same answer that someone will.
I hear ya. McCain and Mr Drunk bill passes, we get 100 million of them. Makes me sick.
These illegals should be rounded up and sent back to their beloved Mexico...Go home
Sounds like there should be plenty of potential COUNTER-protestors, then! According to the MSM these folks BENEFIT our communities!/s
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.
Another reason to buy ORGANIC, grass fed meat....locally.
Your last post to me hurts my heart. I hope the people of Kansas rise up to this invasion.
Explains Brownback's position.
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
I think it's time for somebody to get the hell out of Dodge...
hehe...Brownback is a a political manwhore!

Pat Roberts isn't much better.
But hey, at least they're not Democrats...hehe.
We are truly screwed.
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'.
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.
