Most of the chicken plants (tyson, pilgrims pride/etc) hire them because they can pay them less than they *were* paying the locals and pocket the difference. Most chicken in this country is processed by illegals. Have you seen prices decrease? I'd rather pay 50c more for a head of lettuce than pay 90% more in taxes (our property taxes just got raised to build more classrooms for the illegals kids).

That's exactly what's happened here where I live, with the two poultry plants in town (honeysuckle white and tyson's) now almost exclusively hispanic. And the white and black area workers didn't quit , they were forced out by a combination of ways which included acts of violence against nonhispanic workers.

When I was in HS, you either went to college, or you went to the poultry plant-and you were very likely to wind up with better pay and benefits than would your average BA major. That changed in the early 1990s. Now all those poultry workers (who most certainly were NOT "too proud" for those jobs ; they were delighted to get hired on there) are working 2-3 walmart/mcdonalds/gasstation jobs just to (barely) survive.

May every American, including any freeper, who repeats that smug little mantra, "They just do the jobs Americans are too proud and lazy to do" burn in H-LL. And that goes triple for our politicians.

I agree---but that logic is lost on some....we hear cries of "BUY AMERICAN", but don't hear "HIRE AMERICAN" now, do we? As far as schools go---our kids end up being taught in portable trailers. Hello 3rd World.

In Georgia, the illegals are working in in the textile (carpet) mills in Dalton (northwest GA), and they are also working in the poultry plants in Gainesville (Northeast GA).

In fact, Dalton's population is almost half Mexican. A large increase from the small minority ten years ago. Gainesville is around thirty to forty percent Mexican, an increase similar to that of Dalton's.

In the Atlanta area, nearly every construction crew is over seventy-five percent Mexican. Many are one hundred percent Mexican. County road crews are often fifty percent of more Mexican. The roofing industry is now starting to see a Mexican influx. Landscaping has had a significant Mexican presence for quite a while. Many kitchens of higher end restaurants, as well as fast food restaurants, are Mexican employed. The gas stations are starting to become foreign owned (mostly Indian and Pakistani). The hotels are similar.

It's looking like total illegal alien and foreign take-over.

Would you be willing to go to work for Tyson and others and except the same wages? Most Americans wouldn't and won't.

So one might stop eating any chicken produced by these companies. I buy chicken from the local free-range farmers. They're expensive, but American's work the farms, not illegals, I am helping support the local economy, and the meat isn't filled with all those antibiotics and hormones required when you're growing 5,000 chickens together in a tiny space ( enormously stressful to their immune systems, which is why they need antibiotics)
