Fox News. They run alerts every 5 minutes just to let us know Brittney pulled out of her driveway, or such.

There are a couple of plants in bristol Tennessee that would fit right in for a good RICO suite. I would say any company that advertises that the speak Spanish could be considered fresh game.

The American Meat Institute ran this ad in Congressional Quarterly last year (AMI members including Hormel, Tyson, Cargill, and several hundred other companies process 70 percent of America's annual meat output). Regarding immigration Amnesty, the "trade associations" are allied with many powerful unions and immgration "advocacy" groups.

This list is representative, and by no means all-inclusive of the hundreds of groups supporting immigration Amnesty.

"Though no one wants to reward illegal behavior, we must find a way for these workers to come forward, make good on the past and participate in a program that leads to permanent residency and eventual citizenship."

That’s fine. I don’t do the one like I did on this thread often. Only when something mega occurs or when a member like Kevmo asks.

My morning ping is a list of immigration threads from the past 24 hours or so. Oh, and I don’t do them on weekends. I have other things tying me down at that time.

Huckabee promotes 'open door' policy at LULAC convention

Thursday, Jun 30, 2005

By Wesley Brown

Arkansas News Bureau

LITTLE ROCK - In a impassioned speech before hundreds of influential Hispanic civil rights leaders from across the nation, Gov. Mike Huckabee told a captive audience Wednesday that America is great because it has always opened it doors up to people seeking a better way of life.

"I would hope that no matter who we are, or where we are from, that America should always be a place that opens its arms, opens it heart, opens its spirit to people who come because they want the best for their families ...," Huckabee said as the largely Hispanic audience gave him a standing ovation.

Huckabee was the keynote speaker, along with Tyson Foods Inc. Chairman and CEO John Tyson, at a noon luncheon of the League of United Latin American Citizens, which is holding its 76th annual convention in Little Rock.

About 10,000 political, community and business leaders, along with exhibitors and speakers are in Little Rock attending the convention at the Statehouse Convention Center. The convention started Monday and runs through Saturday.

Although he never actually talked about the U.S. or Arkansas immigration policy, Huckabee made it very clear where he stood on the issue. In his opening remarks, he said the nation will need to address the concerns of the Hispanic community because of its growing influence and population base.

"Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority," Huckabee said jokingly as the crowd roared in laughter.

He told the LULAC delegates that their presence in the state's capital city was very important because Arkansas has one of the fastest growing Hispanic populations in the nation. "Your gathering is so very significant for our state," Huckabee said. "We are delighted to have you."

Despite several light moments, Huckabee did not stray away from several controversial issues that made him a target of criticism during the recently ended 85th General Assembly. He said Arkansas needs to make the transition from a traditional Southern state to one that recognizes and cherishes diversity "in culture, in language and in population."

"This is an issue that is going to require extraordinary efforts on both sides of the border, particularly those coming from Mexico," Huckabee said of verifying the status of illegal aliens. "But I am confident that our government will recognize that we should accommodate people who wish to provide the best opportunities for their families (and) employers so that we can make sure our economy has the necessary work force."

During the legislation session, Huckabee criticized an immigration bill by Republican senators Jim Holt of Springdale and Denny Altes of Fort Smith as un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life. Senate Bill 206, which died in the Senate, would have required proof of citizenship to register to vote and also force state agencies to report suspected cases of people living in the country illegally. Holt, R-Springdale, replied later to Huckabee's comments that Christian charity does not include turning a blind eye to lawbreaking.

Oh, it's much more of a hoot than that.

For example, take this single AMI member, add its members, and you get this:

National Council of Chain Restaurants

AFC Enterprises
Brinker International, Inc.
Burger King Corp.
Carlson Restaurants Worldwide
Chick-Fil-A
CKE Restaurants, Inc.
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store
Denny’s Inc.
Domino’s Pizza Inc.
Dunkin’ Brands
El Pollo Loco
IHOP Corporation
In-N-Out Burger International Dairy Que
en, Inc. Jack in the Box Inc.
Little Caesar Enterprises, Inc.
McDonald’s Corporation
Perkins & Marie Callender's, Inc.
Sonic Corporation
Starbucks Coffee Company
Sticky Fingers
The Krystal Company
Texas Roadhouse
Waffle House Inc.
Whataburger, Inc.
White Castle System, Inc.
Yum! Brands

You can do that with any and all of the corporate AMI signatories, e.g.

AMI lobbying = NCCR lobbying = Mcdonalds, BK, KFC, and Chic-fil-a lobbying.

It's the same as is used in money laundering and other criminal enterprises: phony "associations" lobby for other phony "advocacy groups" which together lobby Congress for for their "real" clients

Does the name “RICO” strike a familiar key?
