I'll tell you which way the wind will blow with this group. La Raza organization along with LULAC and the rest of liberal scummy groups will have a tremendous amount of clout with these folks...Take my word for it, I know...they will be the new RATS voting block, which to the dismay of the Black community, will be the force to reckon with in future elections. The pubs by keeping away from the problem have just sealed our party's fate! The rats were in full force gaining these folks trust and votes, unfortunately they are turning out to be the savior of this ILLEGAL cause! Let's see what the pubs do, but I ain't holding my breath! The rats just screwed the pooch and unless those 250 million folk kick them outta office, consider a RAT majority in all three branches...SCARY THOUGHT!

DETROIT (AP) -- Fifteen immigrant women were fired from their jobs as meat cutters after attending a protest for immigrant rights last month.
The women had been told they would be terminated if they missed work on the day of the March 27 rally in Detroit, said Jay Bonahoom, general manager of Wolverine Packing Co.
But the workers said Monday that the women received no such warning. They would not have skipped the morning shift if they knew they would have been fired for attending the rally, said Elena Herrada, an activist trying to get the women's jobs back.
The workers had been told, "written and verbally," on the Friday before the protest that their attendance was mandatory on the day of the rally, Bonahoom told the Detroit Free Press.
The fired workers were natives of Mexico. Many had worked at Wolverine Packing for several years, and some were undocumented immigrants, Herrada said.
They were fired "for standing up for their rights," she said.
