Businesses Slow After Mount Pleasant Arrests (Illegal Crackdown)
KLTV.com ^

Posted on 04/21/2008 7:13:11 AM PDT by mnehring

Some Mount Pleasant businesses are feeling the effects from the Hispanic community after arrests earlier this week. Several dozen were arrested and many more were scared, as 38 workers at the Mount Pleasant Pilgrim's Pride plant now face indictments for working under stolen social security numbers. Mount Pleasant's population is 37-percent Hispanic, more than a third, and one business owner tells us, many of her customers are now scared to go out.

"I was very very busy, and now I have noticed that there not many people coming in a lot of them have called and told me they are leaving town, they're not going to stay in mount pleasant most of them are going home back to Mexico" says Mount Pleasant Business owner Juanita Davila.

The workers arrested in that raid are spread out among East Texas jails awaiting trials beginning June 3rd.

Kind of funny how the press is bending over backwards to find sympathy stories of how cracking down on illegals is 'bad', yet I haven't seen a story about sympathy for the people whose identities were stolen.

It's all our fault that they couldn't afford legitimate SSNs.

Tough tortillas, scumbag. Why don’t you go to Mexico with them?

It also shows, even little enforcement improvements start a wave of reaction. Unfortunately, LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens) is fighting the raid and trying to stop future ones. The press is pretty much parroting LULAC’s talking points on this.

Self-deportation, gotta love it!

Head south until your feet get wet, amigos, then keep heading south until they get dry again. When enough of you leave, we can bring you back with work visas...BUT NOT BEFORE!

Excellent News. But the MSM hides the “excellent” part. No doubt crime is down and Americans are finding it easier to get a job and are getting higher pay.

The MSM acts as if identy theft by illegal immigrants is a victimless crime. They need to step up these raids and warn business that any business which has illegal’s in their business plan is bound to fail.
It is impossible for Pilgrim’s Pride not to have known about their problem..so if they go broke and the local business based on illegals go broke..fine.

LOL. I don't think I've ever seen this combination of words in a "news" report. How could they tell.

The courts need to let the victims sue the hell out of the business that were enabling identy theft.

In time legal citizens will gladley do these jobs.....I believe that our citizens (especilly the young)are a different breed of cat nowadays though...They don’t seem to have any spunk and expect someone(the government) to support them...Let the LEGAL immigrants do the Blue Collar work that’s ine with me.....
Hell. look at what most of the public schools are producing now....In time we will have NO young people who want to do physical labor.....The white males have an inferiority complex since birth due to all this political correctness that is going around....

Hey, this country is all washed up compared to my day(I’m an offspring of the World War Two generation.....That was the LAST generation as far as I’m concerned....

We ain’t nothing now, and soon will dry up, thanks to the Nancy Pelosi type of politics that’ve taken over!!!

12 million illegals would have been run out of Dodge if they tried to barge in here when the WW11 generation ran this counry....The Nancy Pelosi’s and her ilk wouldn’t have stood a chance either!!!

It may take one more generation but if we would quit paying able bodied men and women to lay at home and collect a check and other benefits they’d have to do the jobs that ‘mercans wont do. Until there is real reform in the welfare system business will continue to import our slave laborers.

Kind of funny

LOL...here's another *funny*...

Looks like this Juanita Davila *business* is something called "Davila's Citizenship Tutorials".......LOL

yet when ICE starts arresting illegal ID thieves, Mrs. Davila claims she's losing customers.

Apparently Juanita made a poor choice in picking catering to illegals as her business model.

I found a website for her business.

http://davilascitizenshipandtutorials.com/

It looks like her entire business model is to serve illegals as most legal immigrants would have access to these services.
