"D@mn! Why couldn't they do this with all the Tyson plants in Arkansas?"
Won't happen. If memory serves me, Tyson has been a major campaign contributor to BOTH Clinton and Bush. Their CEO's contribution records below, imo, shows that they put the money in the hands of whomever is going to do their bidding, wether it be D or R. I believe I've read that 30% of their work force are illegals. And they are currently being prosecuted in a RICO suit by Howard Foster.
John Tyson
Tyson Foods chairman, ceo
$52,600 Republican
$136,510 Democrat
$176,300 special interest
total: $365,410
Yep. That about sums it up. Meanwhile, the entire northwest quadrant of the state has large areas that are starting to look like the low rent district of Nogales.
