I think it is wrong for any employer to hire any illegal immigrants to work, and if a major case of a serious disease goes epidemic because of meat handled by a sick illegal, that meat processing company is going to find out just how expensive it is to hire illegals.

That depends.  If the species is getting over populated in your area, or is a menace to farmers crops, then it can be justified.  Perhaps you can find some migrant workers willing to accept the meat of your harvest.\n\nThe government set up a local shoot because of population, then condemed the meat for human consumption.  4,000 pounds of meat trashed.  That is the problem, not the hunters.

Here's a defense contractor!!\n\nJust think, Our troops are eating food made by illegals!! Figures they could afford to pay decent wages.\n\nTexas Co. Hired Illegals to Make MREs \n\nMcALLEN, Texas, Oct. 28, 2005\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n(AP) A Texas employment agency was sentenced to five years of probation for hiring illegal immigrants to work at the nation's top producer of military battlefield rations, federal prosecutors said Thursday.\n\nThe Tollin Group was also fined $20,000 and ordered to pay $414,000 in civil penalties Wednesday. It has been barred from Department of Defense contracts for three years.\n\nThe San Antonio-based company, which does business as Remedy Intelligent Staffing, pleaded guilty in January to hiring illegal immigrants and trying to cover it up by falsifying employment eligibility forms. The workers were hired for Wornick Co., which makes MREs _ or "meals ready-to-eat."\n\nThe investigation was initiated in February 2003 after an al-Qaida operative was arrested with information pointing to McAllen and Wornick as terrorist targets. Wornick had been awarded a $47 million contract to produce more than 1.1 million MREs for U.S. forces in Iraq.\n\nThe FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force ran background checks on Wornick employees and found hundreds of temporary employees with fraudulent documentation.\n\nNo direct link to terrorism was found.

I think you chose the wrong category.  Unless I missed something about a hog processing plant and immigration!?!?!?

Slaughterhouses wouldn't exist were it not for the demand for meat.  It must be hellish to work in an abottoir, and, in the attached link, is depicted ways in which societies have kept it under cover and its employees have been condemned.\n\nIf it is any consolation, there are many societies in which efforts are made to make this as painless as possible.

your right...don't we have more dangerous people to worry about right now then someone working for next to nothing at a meat factory or farm.\n\nWouldn't we be better off to spend the money and law enforcement resourses taking rapists, murders and child molesters off the streets.\n\nwe need to get our priorities straight

I agree completely.  The corporations are at the top of this food chain here.  They need to be hit hard with the strong arm of the law in order to cut off the jobs to illegals so the illegal immigrants will turn around and return home voluntarily.

They are the problem, they should have to pay huge fines and jail time. The people coming here are just looking for a better life. The people that do the hiring should have to do background checks and not hire ILLEGALS.

probably alot longer than it would take to simply go get a job and earn their own food like the rest of us do. I have had about all I can take of working overtime to feed criminals, illegals, and lazy bums. I hope it is a LONG LONG LONG LONG wait......

There might be lots of companies that hire illegals. But, Tyson has laid off Americans and hired ILLEGAL ALIENS to take their place. It was not jobs that Americans didn't want. Tyson just didn't want to pay what they deserve.  Other companies might do that, but Tyson went public in their support of  their taking over of America. Lets bankrupt Tyson, then, work our way through other companies. Eventually they will get the message !!!!

sounds like a nice idea- even if by the time they recieve it- they already hired someone else!  Maybe they will keep you in mind next time there is an opening if they dont hire you this time.

It is illegal to employ them, but the republicans that are in power wouldn't think of doing away with the cheap labor that their constituents use. They will protect the greedy corporations and rich individuals that pay slave wages. Some people say this isn't true, but I think if you do a little investigation you will find as I have that alot of them are paid below the minimum wage, which is illegal. They don't pay taxes on their earnings, which is illegal. They don't pay social security tax, which is illegal. They don't pay medicare tax, which is illegal. They crossed our border without permission from our government, which is illegal. They work without permission from our government, which is illegal. They use up all our financial resources,such as welfare, free health care, schools, which is illegal and immoral. Some people can't understand why they are called illegal immigrants. Can you?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We do NOT need them to do the work here!! We got along just FINE without them before,and we can do it again!!!!!!!!!!! They actually COST the taxpaers MORE in the long run,in social services,etc., than it would if we paid a few extra cents for veggies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nIf nothing else,we could put these PRISONERS, and welfare people to work in those jobs!! Why should THEY get a "free ride" either???!! Make them earn their keep!!!!! These are some more people that sponge off us!!!! We actually have GENERATIONS of welfare recipients!!!!!!!!!! That is,people who have made a living off welfare,then their kids and grandkids do the same thing!!!!!!!!!!!! And we also have a LOT of repeat offenders in prison!!!! They get three free meals a day,free medical,free lawyers,free clothing,all paid for by US!!!!! Well,it's time for the "gravy train" to get DERAILED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even if it is illegal, you have to get caught feeding the animals before you can get charged...\n\nI don't get laws like that... We may not be allowed to directly feed animals, but we are allowed to indirectly feed them with our thrown out garbage.
