They were forced to do it. The problem is they need their corporate income tax eliminated to free up money to expand their business, lower prices to the consumer, and hire unemployed Americans to pluck their chickens....

But, because they have to pass on those corporate income taxes to Americans still able to buy chickens, they were forced to smuggle illegals to keep their costs down...

If we would just eliminate the poor baby's income taxes I'm sure they'd promise to never break federal laws again...doncha know?

Lock up these freaking chicken pluckers!
Semper Fi

LOL..sorry.. but that headline just put this image in my head of a 20 ft chicken carrying a bunch of illegals across the border...

I live in Arkansas and illegal hispanics have been here for several years. One problem is they come here get pregant come to our hospital where I am a physician and we deliver their babies for free. Now their children are American citizens. I asked our police what I should do if I knew about an illegal alien. He said nothing cause INS would not do anything about it. One small town where a chicken plant is population is now 50% hispanic in a 10 year period.

This stuff always reminds me of the novel, The Monkey Handlers by G. Gordon Liddy. Actually, it's a very good read.

you have hispanic illegals in arkansas? I expect them here in Kalifornia, and even in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, but not there. When I lived in Oklahoma, I didn't see a single hispanic the whole time I was there.

The Big Chicken in Marietta? Gee, all this time I thought the Mexicans on the corner liked KFC.

I've always kind of wondered what was in those Chicken McNuggets.

Just another one of Slick Willies's good buddies!

[Disgusted in Texas]

Try living in Houston ,where there are so many illegals ,you wouldn't believe it!

Look for the assistant DA to be found dead on the RR tracks.

Must of been smokin' that high-test tobacco.

Clinton country down there. Where every bastard is a king. And his momma was not a whore. Heh... heh.

Can't put a shine on those Nikies!

[mmmmmmmm....... donuts]

all those meat processing plants hire tons of illegals. some, like tyson, pay off the dems; others, like ibp, pay off the pubbies. i read that book about fast food, and while i concede that a meat packing plant is never going to be pretty, the conditions workers operate in are pretty horrendous.

[mmmmmmmm....... donuts]

my bad, didn't realize that tyson BOUGHT ibp. whatever, they're all scum.

[StriperSniper]

Giant chickens?

[krodriguesdc]

this is amazing - hillary sat on or sits on tyson's board yes/no?

companies like this need to be busted without mercy...

[holyscroller]

The first thing Tyson should be convicted of is stupidity. You've gotta know that any company that loved Clinton so much has got to be crooked. Sure glad to hear some of the good old boys are finally going to at least get a slap on the wrist. With me, it's a point of honor to never let a bite of Tyson pass my lips. I won't even take the free samples at Costco!

[AmericanInTokyo]

heaven forbid, is that man doing what I think he's doing??

[BOBTHENAILER]

Payback's a b!itch. Alternative headline.

CLINTOON POULTRY SUPPORTER GETS FRIED

[Citizen Soldier]

In September, Schaffer was sentenced to one year in prison, the minimum sentence allowed by law. Before he left office, President Clinton pardoned Schaffer

Chickens coming home to roost?

It was of course Don Clinton who famously "helped" Hilary C to understand chicken futures market at which she was successful to the tune of at least $200K in about 3 months.

Tyson also benefited from the US Gubment buying overstocks of chicken reputed to be $1BN worth,which were given to Russia. This was claimed by the Mafias who sold it cheap and slammed the Russian domestic meat producers.

Hilary's ex law firm are of course Tysons lawyers - they also helped form Wal-Mart amongst other Arkansas high rolling pol payers.
