Somali Muslim controversy roils Emporia, Kansas
American Congress for Truth ^ | November 20th, 2007 | Jerry Gordon

Posted on 11/30/2007 2:15:51 PM PST by chicagolady

Emporia, Kansas has a Somali Muslim ‘problem’ that we have written about. The community’s Somali Muslim population, presently at somewhere between 750 to 1,000 could increase by upwards of 50 percent under a new federally funded ‘intake’ program to expand the local Tyson Foods meat packing plant in Emporia, a community of less than 30,000. Tyson-the worlds largest processor of beef, pork and poultry headquartered in Arkansas is listed on the NYSE has a current market capitalization of over $4.5 billion.

Tyson got in trouble with both a Federal law suit and employee class action now being heard in an Eastern Tennessee Federal District court when it hired illegal Hispanic immigrants and depressed the wages of its own American work force.

In October 2006, a federal judge granted class-action status to a lawsuit brought by Tyson employees who allege that Tyson’s practice of hiring illegal immigrants depresses wages 10-30%. The suit further contends that the company violated federal racketeering laws by conspiring with National Council of La Raza and League of United Latin American Countries not to question the employment applications of anyone with a Hispanic surname.

So, Tyson opted to do something legal. It brought in approximately 400 ‘legal’ Somali Muslim ‘humanitarian refugees’ to top up its 2000 employee work force in Emporia. It went further and allotted prayer room space and even outfitted bathrooms with wudus, foot washing baths, so that these tough foot soldiers of Islam could prayer to mecca, five times a day. It also brought in ’sensitivity training’ specialists into the community from groups like federally funded Spring Institute of Denver, Colorado engaged in inter-cultural and immigrant absorption consulting on behalf of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services (KDSRS)

Tyson and clinton have a crooked relationship that goes back for decades. The seem to have gotten to know each other in the drug smuggling business.

I forget the name of the beef packing company that Tyson took over, but this may be it. When they refused a Tyson takeover offer, clinton sent a swarm of federal inspectors into their plants and knocked their stock price down, I think by about a billion dollars. Then Tyson took them over, on the cheap.

I will NEVER buy a Tyson chicken.

Wonder if the Christians got a prayer room and time off to use it....

The tired old argument of immigrants keep cost of food down is exposed as a fraud by actions like this when the cost of the foot baths, prayer room, and time off to pray are considered.

I’ve seen them hanging around across from Emporia State University at the new Muslim Center. They do congregate in large groups of men. They never smile and appear quite hostile in the Dillons grocery store. It might be just because they are uncomfortable in a strange land, but that's the point. It is a major culture shock.
Emporia is isolated in its location. There are no other suburbs. To make this a major resettlement point is a huge burden and a major disruption in the community.
Of course, why should Tyson care? The burden on community services isn’t their problem, only labor costs.

Somali’s shouldn’t even be allowed in this country. Most of them are 8th century savages and they will become a danger to the public. They have absolutely no intention whatsoever of assimilating into our culture. None.

The Roman Catholic diocese brought a few into my hometown six years ago. Now they make up more than 12% of the population here and their unemployment rate is 80+%. They are absolutely worthless creatures, semi-human vermin at best...but they know their “rights” which the government makes sure are “accommodated”. They breed like rabbits and hand the bill to the rest of us. Emporia, Kansas is in for a nightmare they have never imagined, thanks to big business in their case.

The town or county should impose a fat payroll tax on employers meeting Tyson’s description, say $15.00 an hour.

semi-human vermin at best.... While I don't agree with Tyson's actions and those of alot of Muslims, I find this kind of rhetoric equally dangerous. It is the very same symbolism that was assigned to the Jews under the Nazis.
