Dodge City Ping!
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.
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
Another reason to buy ORGANIC, grass fed meat....locally.
Explains Brownback's position.
ICE should set up checkpoints at the entrance to the parking lots of these plants early Tuesday morning with no advance notice.
Dodge wasn't that bad back then but clearly was a worse place to live than Garden City which also had a large meat packing plant.
I recall a former Dodge resident posted on this site that Dodge had passed what he called the "tipping point". Basically said it had gone too far to save.
More likely didn't want to draw attention to themselves by trying to operate with just 10% of their workforce showing up.
This is ridiculous. If someone wants to participate in our political system, they need to be fluent in English.
Get a load of this....

Rally to advocate positive immigration reform
I grew up in Cimarron Ks.. 16 miles west of Dodge. I always kinda liked Dodge City, it used to be a pretty nice town. It is a shame to hear it has gone downhill in this manner.
Ping
They must think our immigration laws don't exist, thanks to George W. Bush and his band of traitors in Washington.
Any politician falling for this crap will lose votes faster than they will be able to count. America is ANGRY!!
"Dodge City, Kansas, population 21,000 in 1990, was profiled on January 29,1998 in the New York Times as a city in which local youth move away and Mexican and other Latino immigrants arrive to fill jobs in meatpacking plants. Hispanics are 75 percent of the work force at Dodge City's two largest meatpackers: Excel Corp., part of Cargill Foods, with about 2,500 workers; and National Beef Co., part of Farmland Industries Inc., with 1,300 to 1,400 workers. Hispanics are a similar percentage of the work force in meatpacking plants in Garden City, 50 miles to the northwest of Dodge City, and Liberal, 75 miles to the southwest.
"The Excel human resources manager, Jim Maher, said that Excel recruits via its current employees: they tell their relatives about available jobs. Starting pay is $8.64 an hour, rising to $12. Annual turnover is 50 percent, meaning that Excel issues over 5,000 W-2 statements each year to maintain a 2,500-person labor force." [End excerpt]
This just in! 30 April, 2006. Cargill Inc., which produces Honeysuckle White turkeys, will close 10 beef, pork and turkey plants, including the Springdale turkey plant, spokesman Mark Klein said. [End bulletin]
