Tyson urged to hire Shelbyville residents before immigrants, refugees

Almost no other country in the world would allow an organization to start placing people from somewhere else into jobs in that country. Yes, Americans need to regain their work ethic, but this is just not right. Try to move to Mexico and get a legal right to work. It takes five (5) years to even get residency and you have to PROVE you are becoming part of the culture.

Bet this wouldn’t happen at Smithfield Hams

Gee, what does it take for a peanut processing plant to go under, I wonder? Salmonella, right?

[Cyber Ninja]

Why not the good folks from Springfield?

If they chose to hire Americans over illegal aliens, they’ll find themselves being “investigated” by those a**holes, Conyers the Crook and Nadler the Hutt! Just ask Joe Arpaio. This isn’t OUR country anymore. The Nazi ‘RATS have taken it over for their “global” pals. America is dead.

Diversity lottery?
Is this a joke?
DemocRATS have sold our country down the river....
Doomed, I tell ya’. We’re doomed.

Law enforcement were called out early Monday to quell a disturbance at the state unemployment office downtown after about 150 people, including a large number of refugees and others brought from Nashville by various charitable organizations, began cutting in line for the coveted jobs.

What insolence! How dare local residents get in the way of the people for whom those jobs were meant for. The term "cutting in line" is unfortunate. This was merely the rightful employees assuming their proper place at the head of the line in front of the local usurpers.

I would bet that when that places catches on fire the fire department will take a long time getting there.

Cupp said that Tyson Foods has not been causing the problems..........

BS --- if you speak unaccented English, have an IQ over room temperature, or better than a GED you CAN NOT get a job with Tyson through the standard employment process.

Cuz you have to take 24 through Nashville to get to Shelbyville, and the fine folks from Springfield would never survive the trip.

(My corporate is in Springfield. My turf is Nashville and south).

Anyone, ANYONE, that buys any Tyson product is unAmerican. The last I checked, the meat department at wal mart was all TYSON.

What is so utterly infuriating about this is that the townspeople, the natives, will be paying taxes to subsidize the existence of these outsiders, while they watch their town turn into something they don’t want, their housing costs rise, their children’s schools being converted into schools that cater to non-English speakers, their doctors’ offices and clinics overrun by those whose bills may or may not be paid and all of this for which they were never given a choice, or an opportunity to vote for or against. I grew up in southern California, and I don’t remember my parents ever voting to be overrun by the dregs of Mexico or by Armenian refugees. I certainly was never asked my opinion. And in the case of Shelbyville, in a few years, we will be reading how the children of these people are disappearing, only to turn up fighting for jihad in some Middle Eastern hell hole. Thanks elected officials. You’re really looking out for us.

I knew that area just a couple of years ago as a highly Hispanic area. Maybe the Egyptians are the flavor of the month in Nashville now.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

I didn’t think about their children. That is a good point. Some of them probably WILL end up fighting with the Islamic terrorists against the very country that gave their parents some hope.

Precisely what I was thinking when I read the headline.

Our family has boycotted Tyson ever since they started hiring Somalis en masse. We recommend others do the same. And LET THEM KNOW.

It’s way past time to remove the tax exempt status of the catholic church.

Which is why we never purchase chicken at WalMart!
