The good news is that the owners who decided to hire low wage immigrants instead of Americans are seeing their businesses closed. The bad news is the taxpayers are probably bailing them out, and the immigrant hiring will resume once the covid mess is behind us

It sounds like the FDA stamp should be accompanied by a certification that I-9 is practiced at the packing plant. At least we know where the virus came from...

Wow. There are some languages on that list I hadn’t even heard the names of.
All legal immigrants well on their path to citizenship, no doubt.

I’m surprised the English is among the top ten languages spoken there.

Remember that Smithfield is now Chicom owned. Perhaps, the national emergency should change attitudes about allowing commie governments to purchase US companies. Also, blame Demonrats for opposing English as official language of our country.
To: rintintin
Yeah. But the Chinese masters touring the facility a few weeks before the outbreak had absolutely nothing to do with it!

2017 and 2018 were the golden years. The GOP had the Presidency, the Senate, and the House. One of the many things they should have done - but didnt - was make English the sole official language of the United States.
Back when my grandparents immigrated from Eastern Europe, they had to learn English to navigate in this country. But why should an immigrant from Mexico or the Philippines bother to learn English now? These days government forms and store signs are printed in all sorts of languages.
Heck, I just got a bank statement the other day. If you speak only Tagalog, no problem. Just call this number and everything will be explained to you, in Tagalog.

We’ve done worse.
And no, not now, we have immigrant indigestion.
We need to let the legal immigrants become incorporated into the American culture before we allow more.
As to the illegal invaders? They need to go or be sent home.

...and I wonder just how many were immigrants vs the more likely refugees brought to us by two agencies over which States have Zero control.

The good news is that the owners who decided to hire low wage immigrants instead of Americans If they are legal immigrants and not illegal aliens, they either are American citizens or on their way to becoming American citizens (Americans).
If they are what the "media" and democrats call illegal aliens, you are right.
