Twenty-three ethanol plant workers from India who face illegal immigration charges faced federal court hearings Wednesday to change their pleas. Their supporters say they are victims of a human trafficking scheme, and they plan a 24-hour fast and prayer vigil.

In Minnesota, Rep. Keith Ellison and religious leaders announced they would join the fast to support the workers.

Oops. I was thinking about the Muslim thing. But you’re right.

The downfall of America began in 1961 with some kid born in Kenya. IMHO

Their supporters say they are victims of a human trafficking scheme,

Mar 9, 2008 ... Rebelling against alleged “slave treatment,” some 100 workers recruited from India staged a dramatic protest at a Mississippi shipyard ...

I know there were other cases, too; and every one I recall seeing had India in common. Nationality, but not ethnicity nor religion were mentioned, but if Ellison is so supportive of this batch, it makes me start to wonder about them, including the others.

There is, after all, one "minority" group that is always quick to claim discrimination and persecution, and Ellison is a prominent member of it. Are the other "religious leaders" in Wisconsin who are joining him in his horrid 24 hour ordeal perhaps imams?

No worries — he’s eating halal pig knuckles and chit’luns.
