SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. — Thirteen years ago, he got his start in this country by scrubbing dead chickens for a living, but soon rose to become a prominent businessman — a grocery store owner — and the leader of this town's rapidly growing Hispanic community.

The 57 page indictment of Tyson and it's managers has Anchondo-Rascon name all over it as the main figure that was arranging for false documents and other things for the illegals they smuggled into our community, yet according to the The Tennessean, he's a hero. But what do you expect from this paper? Objective journalism?

Yeah right!!

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Thanks for the heads up. It will probably get bigger. Big mess.

Officers from the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service would occasionally arrive in town to pick up people held in the county jail and deport them, Barber said.

I wonder what year it was when they actually deported someone. 1954?

Is this guy on heart medication? Potential Arkancide Alert.

Is this guy on heart medication? Potential Arkancide Alert.

Very good point...more than you realize. He is more than likely in protective custody.

Forget the "people" smuggling. How 'bout all the cocaine?

And the Tyson distribution system delivering the coke all over the USA. Hmmm????

[hsszionist]

Tyson is another friend of Bill.

[sharktrager]

Who would have ever thought Mike Tyson was smart enough to get a whole smuggling conspiracy going.

The wonders never cease.

I can't help wondering where Hillary (gag) fits into this? If we follow the money I'm sure it will lead to Rose Law Firm and ole Hill.

[SpookBrat]

"race card" caught my eye too.

[MissAmericanPie]

So much for the huddled masses longing to be free. Seems what they are longing for is cash and political power.

[HangFire]

Logue said the surveillance was prompted by ''some concerns'' police had about Anchondo-Rascon's possible involvement in providing false documents to the town's Hispanic residents.

Come to Los Angeles, you can obtain fake SS/Green cards, birth certificates faster than you can place an order at Taco Bell!

[Regulator]

Just remember, it's discriminatory to enforce the laws against any Mexican citizen.

Race card: just precisely what race is it we're talking about? Fox is a white guy. Jorge Castaneda is a white guy. Juan Hernandez is still a white guy. All of them are Latinos. So, what race is it that's being discriminated against?

[wingnuts'nbolts]

Really? Case made!

[dandelion]

How about we look for campaign contributions to certain politicians from the aforementioned individuals and businesses? Follow the money...

[Brownie74]

Come to Los Angeles....

No thanks!! LOL!! I lived in LA from 1968 to 1980. I came back home in '80 and I ain't goin' back.

California is a beautiful state but......

[HangFire]

California is a beautiful state but......

Agreed!

[sneakypete]

The Anchondo-Rascon boys, ages 13, 15 and 16, have had scrapes with local police. One spent some time in a juvenile detention facility, Robertina said, because a white boy started a fight with him and he defended himself.

I hear ya,and Ah feel yore pain! It's always those damn white boys always causing the trouble by attacking packs of dark skinned boys all by themselves. What else can these poor cholos do but defend themselves?

[sneakypete]

I can't help wondering where Hillary (gag) fits into this? If we follow the money I'm sure it will lead to Rose Law Firm and ole Hill.

I think she used to be on the Tyson board of directors,just like she was on the Wal-Mart bod. It doesn't matter,though. Bubba Bush will kill any investigations that lead towards her or Bubba #1.

[snodog]

I'm sure someone can tie this to the Bush family. I know there is a connection somewhere. Jim Rob, you have got to have something tying the Clintons and the Bushs on this. They have been tied at the hip since Mena, AK. and before.

There just has to be! Look! You have it, I know you do, it's there some place!

What's that? Not now? Oh 2004, ok, gotcha.

[Polybius]

I wish that the term "Hispanic" would be set aside so that Mexicans would be called Mexicans, Columbians would be called Columbians, Cubans would be called Cubans and each ethnic group took credit for it's own achievements and took blame for it's own faults.

[Brownie74]

DON'T BUY TYSON ILLEGAL ALIEN PRODUCTS!

Good article. I have not been buying Tyson products since I found out that he was tied in with Clinton. Tyson goes all the way back to Clinton's tenure in Arkansas.

Thanks for the ping.

[MissAmericanPie]

Oh joy, another product to boycott. Tyson we hardly knew ye. If Freeper's were more organized we could Freep each plant with picket signs.

[putupon]

Tyson is another friend of Bill

Is he the one who smuggled the klintoons in?

[hsszionist]

Smuggling is a possiblity, this would explain their anti-American activities. One thing is for certain, Tyson's money helped them slither into power and he was well paid afterwards.

[Regulator]

And we should all be writing and calling the federal prosecutors demanding to know why asset forfeiture is routinely practiced against some guy caught selling an ounce of pot but not against a giant company basing it's business on breaking the laws (they DID do that to Golden State Transport, the busline of choice for Mexican illegals and the occasional transient terrorist). And why is there no RICO prosecution?

I know many here have a problem with these tactics constitutionally, and I do too; but if they are used against "little people" then they sure as hell should be used against Don Tyson's corrupt empire.

[Regulator]

I agree. No reason that people who escaped from Fidel and have become patriotic should have to be lumped in with the MEChA types here in Soviet Kalifornia.
