Lars Larson was talking about this today and said that legal citizens were lining up for the job openings.
Also suggested someone should match up names to voting records.

I have actually worked with that Del Monte Fresh plant at a previous job and have visited the plant 10 or so times. It was no secret that something was going on there. I read that there was a 6 month investigation prior to this raid. My question is why. One tour of the facility and it was obvious that there were illegals working there. The only people who could speak any English were the supervisors. Ask a shift leader a question and you received a blank stare.
This was an easy target, and the idea behind it is to show the families “ripped apart” and the few legitimate workers caught in the raid. It’s a rope and dope by Bush and the libs in the most liberal city on the west coast (tied with San Fran). It was a raid to garner sympathy from the public.

"

Either that or another token effort to appease those of us who dislike illegal immigration.

Ironic, isnt it...Sadly ironic. Mayor Potter and his lesbian daughter -- whose sexual preference helped his election...

I didn’t get to hear Lars today, but I heard an interview with one who was applying for a job on the radio.
He said the illegals are taking the jobs that Americans want!
I know they had some temp workers there, too, but not nearly enough to get the job done.

...and that he marches in the Gay Pride Parade.
I wasn't going to mention it but, since you did, I'll go with it. ;o)

only 48 of nearly 600 employees at the Fresh Del Monte Produce fruit and vegetable processing plant had valid Social Security numbers. Some plant owners/managers better go to jail for this. 48 out of 600 without valid numbers is feasible in that kind of business but 552 out of 600 means the management was well aware of it and supporting it. And somebody please tell the Portland mayor to shut his piehole. Stealing SS numbers is a crime.

Funny how hard I worked on cutting out that truck, animating the waving hands, etc and you can’t even tell it.
Who would know it is the one in the picture that is posted all the time??!

The FBI should have gone ahead to investigate Potter for the clearance and then refuse to give it to him on the grounds he is a communist, terrorist and whacko sympathizer.
But, the FBI already knew that.
