Don't Buy Meat This Monday
A Way to Protest Companies that Support Illegal Immigration
Monday is your chance to participate in a counter-boycott. It's simple - don't buy or eat meat that day in protest of these companies, whose employees knowingly hire illegal aliens, collude with immigrant smugglers, break the law with impunity, and give these same illegal aliens the day off so they can demand amnesty as a reward. Are any companies giving American workers the day off Monday to protest amnesty?
Call Seaboard at 1-800-262-7907, Cargill at 1-800-CARGILL (227-4455), Hormel at (507) 437-5611 and Tyson at (479) 290-4000 on Monday to let them you are boycotting them for supporting illegal immigration.
Meat-packing companies including Seaboard and Tyson are closing plants to allow illegal alien workers there the day off, so that they can participate in protests demanding amnesty. Reuters writes that, "Seaboard Corp. said it will close its Guymon, Oklahoma, pork plant on Monday to allow workers to attend rallies planned for that day in support of immigration reform, the company said." And Dow Jones newswire has more coverage of the meat plants shutdown. "Tyson Foods (TSN) will not operate at five of its nine U.S. beef plants and will have four of six pork plants closed Monday due to a potential shortage of workers and current market conditions, a Tyson spokesman said Thursday. Spokesman Gary Mickelson provided the company's updated slaughter plans to Dow Jones Newswires by email. Immigrant workers have declared May 1 as a day of protest against tough new immigration reform legislation being considered by Congress. The Tyson update puts the number of total U.S. beef plants to be closed Monday to at least 12 and pork plants to at least 14. Slaughter for both species is expected to be reduced to around 50% or less than normal Monday," says Dow Jones.

Just don't Buy it.
hold on a second being,that they support "illegal
whatever" is the same as you being the pot calling the kettle black. take a look in the mirror
that illegal immigration does (national security,economical, environmental, etc). That is the same as comparing a fork to a mattress. Educate yourself. This issue effects YOUR country.
This may sound simple and a bit naive but just tax their Asses. They breathe the same air and drive on the same roads as me. Let alone shit like emergency care and any other such services. They want to be in America, want their children to be US citizens. Tax Their Ass! Find a way. No green card. No SS Tax. Take it out of their pay and fine the companies that don’t. But TAX THEIR ASS!
BTW. Tax season is kicking “MY” ass.
Let's just station our Vice President on the border with his shotgun and a bottle of booze. Problem solved!!!!
I just couldn't resist sharing this game. I don't know how you all feel about the imigration situation but for those who are as irritated by the ILLEGALS (oops... sorry... we're supposed to call them 'undocumented') as I am (and I'm half Mexican) you'll have fun with this ~

Stop eating in resturants, never stay at a hotel, stop eating vegetables and fruits, move out of your office (or hang around till late evening to check on who is cleaning it!) Oh and ladies you need to stop seeing gents who have offices, contruction,landscape, development or agriculture business or who even own stock in any of those! If you own a house with a block wall or tile roof sell it and move out NOW! Get busy and trim your own bushes and trees, bus your own tables and clean as many toilets as you can find! If we are stop the problem then let's stop it, in for penny in for a pound.
The reason for a boycott on a specific date is because of the curent legislation going on in congress and YES those who hire "undocumented" workers should be held accountable because their actions are seated in "greed" (exploiting cheap labor). Their interests are not in national security, the costs of illegals to our economy, our resources, our future, and what is a reasonable immigration policy consistant with national interests.
Here is another prospectus (sit back for this one with a cup of coffee courtesy of Juan Valdez). I am not against immigration when it is done legally and I am a member of the Hispanic community myself so my oppinions are not seated in racism- just for the future of my children's children.
Executive Summary
Depending on what Congress decides to do about immigration — curtail it, expand it — the United States is facing a future population just 45 years away that could vary by more than 135 million residents. Our population is going to be growing in any case, largely because of immigrants who have arrived in the past few generations, but that growth could be limited to about 66 million persons (a 22% increase) if we effectively combat illegal immigration and pare back legal immigration to a moderate level. Alternatively, if current proposals to increase immigration, give legal status to those currently here illegally, and create a new guest worker program were adopted, we likely will be facing the prospect of a population in 2050 of half a billion people. That would be about 200 million more persons than today (a 67% increase). If our policy makers pursue the latter course, our projection is that the country will be on a course to reaching about one billion people by the end of the century.
If Congress should end up ducking the issue of immigration reform and maintaining the status quo of mass legal and illegal immigration, our population is projected to still continue its rapid growth. Our projection is for a population of between 445 and 462 million residents depending on the assumptions used.
The difference between the highest and the lowest of the scenarios represents the population size issue that Congress and the administration should be focused on as the debate on immigration policy develops this year. Depending on the policy decisions that are made, our children and their children could be forced to grapple with the problems caused by a skyrocketing population that is more than 135 million more people than would be the case under a true immigration reform agenda.
The country’s environment will be impacted very differently depending on the immigration decisions made today. The implications are enormous for our dependency on energy imports, the shift from being a net food exporter to a net food importer, the over-consumption and growing constraints of freshwater resources, aggravating urban sprawl and overcrowding, traffic congestion, greenhouse emissions, growing income inequality, and a myriad of other social issues.
We do not attempt in this report to describe in detail all of the implications of adding an additional 135 million people on top of an already fast growing population. That is a challenge for environmental, civic and other groups. But it is clear that those voices need to be heard by Congress, not just the voices of business interests that seek access to additional foreign workers and ethnic advocacy groups that seek to increase the flow of co-ethnic immigrants.
The effects of immigration impact different areas of the country and states differently. To assist our members across the country and their elected representatives in assessing the effects on their state from potential immigration changes, our projections show the different population size that would likely result under the different scenarios for each state.

I am glad to see that Arizona is a state with so much tolerance. I wonder what the people behind these immigration laws think about escorts?
Thanks Sam for the input...I bet you we as Escorts have seensome of those people and i bet they dont care once they have had a session with one of us Phoenix ladies.(:
it's about logic and statistics. I am Hispanic and therefore very tolerant. I am also an American concerned about the future of our country.
