The Copts have been hard-working decent citizens no matter where they have gone. Australia is a case in point. And I can guarantee you this, within a generation most will have started businesses that will employ the Tennesse Know-nothings. And don’t give me any of that garbage that locals need jobs but can’t afford to work for slave wages. I spent years working for slave wages, as I imagine the majority of people on FR have while they were working their way up the ladder. Something tells me that Tyson probably couldn’t get local work so went after Mexicans; now that pool is diminished they went looking for someone else. Don’t blame the Copts, they would do anything to leave Egypt and persecution from both the Muslim Brothers and an Islamic military dictatorship. You don’t like Tyson, so be it. But don’t take it out on people who came here, just like your forebearers, in search of freedom.
Oh, and nice talk about Tennessee "Know-Nothings." You sound like you're from the Arlen Specter wing of the party.
If Nashville can’t employ them then shut-off the pipeline. Shelbyville is rural and cannot provide for these migrants.
