And how many of those 1,110 are being held pending deportation?

I've had to deal with this company in Phoenix on many occasions. The trick was to find the [one] guy who speaks English.

Can you imagine what a pallet of oil is going to cost?

Actually, where I work, we use lots of pallets. I will have to see if there is a sudden shortage!

I'd bet that number would be "zero."

How ODD they chose a foreign firm to pick on!

Boy have I had it with my elected representatives especially when they processed the illegals and let them go in a few hours.

election year smoke and mirrors to appease the masses who are Not quite as stupid as they hope.

This is one Republican who will not be voting this year!

They claim they had no place to hold them.

I called the White House comment line (202-456-1111) and suggested that they contact Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Maricopa County AZ for information on how to set up a tent detention center.

With the resources of the federal government it would seem that they could put together a tent detention center in a day maybe two.

In New york (specifically the Bronx) people who get things on pallets are charged 12.00 for the pallet but only given 8.00 credit for it's return. No one that I know of burns them.
