Uh, I think you meant “fudge packing”.

How does this trash even get into this country?

They were deliberately brought into the country, by traitors and 5th columnists, to change the voting demographics, so they will vote for Democrats.

The way they should have done this is not to fire them. Simply stop putting them on the schedule. Don’t tell them they are fired. Just that you don’t have any hours for them.

Too bad the doj will be all over Cargill like white on rice for “denying them their religious” rights. This has Obama written all over it

Colorado.....99% sure, it’s beef. Those ragheads wouldn’t go near pork.

Foxworthy was right, i.e., “If you wipe your butt with your bare hand, but consider pork unclean, you might be a muslim.”

Come to think of it; Why would we want people like that anywhere within a mile of food preparation?

Most these Somalis are brought in on H2-B visas as a cheap workforce. I have no compassion for Cargill OR the Muslims trying to change our culture. It’s companies like this and Tyson who lobbied to expand cheap labor immigration. Now that they fired them, they won’t be deported, but rather will be living off the tax payer. Further, if they’re upset over this, which I’m sure they are, they seem to be organized, and what’s to keep them from becoming ‘radicalized’ and acting out on it?

That’s what I was thinking. I wouldn’t want to eat anything prepared by a bunch of somalians....or anyone else from that part of the world. Who knows what they would do? Spit, urine, whatever. Wouldn’t trust ‘em.

I am hopeful that’s not followed by more H-2Bs

Those are the ones that "the person you did not name" wants to stop because they are an abuse of the system as it is supposed to work....

Make thyself useful...

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other who enjoys the fruits of others' work for your own benefit.

PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to FR

Donate to Cruz

Is there a Christian prayer area that employees can use?

Not from Foxworthy.

To: Not gonna take it anymore

It was attributed to Jeff Foxworthy where I first saw it, along with several other quips. He may have “borrowed” it. What else is new among comedians?
Thanks.

They made the mistake of hiring them in the first place.

In this era of the ‘new normal’, they will sue, collect a large sum of money and get their jobs back.

I’m wondering why they’re within 10 feet of our food to start with. I’ve heard meat packing is where they’re being hired all around the country. Wierd. Unless it’s halal meat...

Not just a big city problem. Look at what happened to a very small town in the Ozarks just to the north of here. It used to be a nice place, now it is trashed. I was through there two weeks ago.

The town flooded last week. Maybe it washed some of the trash away.
