    Are you kidding me? Yeah, I'm not surprised to see Hormel on there. Our plant here gets raided once a year by INS and they fill a bus and ship them back. :biggrin_2554:

    Thankfully, the Supreme Court weighed in on this issue last week (treaties signed by our government).

    It will now have to come to a full vote within the House & Senate.

    We'll continue to see heavy lobbying tactics, and letters like the above, until this matter is settled.

    Hopefully, Mexico does retaliate. It will force the issue to come to the floor even faster.

    Then we will know WHO has our backs, and who has sold us out.

    The meat packers just don't want to hire translators for their docks, the drivers will be able to communicate with the employees. At least Mexico hasn't threatened to curtail exports of laborers, that might really hurt American industry.
