Alert - Boycott Meat Packers
29th April 2006
I received both an alert from FAIR (Federation for American Immigration Reform) and a LPJ reader, Joan B., Illinois concerning an important opportunity for readers and their friends to participate in a boycott against meat packing companies that are not only breaking immigration laws but bold enough to be public about it…
Monday, May 1st there will be a protest by employees of Seaboard, Cargill, Hormel, and Tyson for amnesty. These meat packing companies are going along with their workers taking a day off in this effort. It is public display that our immigration laws mean nothing to them. It is a public display that is sponsored by individuals who are quoted in the following paragraphs. We should not reward law breakers – NO Amnesty! Meat-packing companies are closing plants (Seaboard and Tyson) to allow illegal immigrant workers a day off for this event. This means that they support illegal immigration and the amnesty of 12 million already here. Tyson has announced that at least 12 beef plants and 14 pork plants will be shutting down. Boycott them. Eat fish or other products that are not participants in this charade and show them that this is America, not Mexico and that Victor Davis Hanson was correct when he wrote the book Mexifornia.
To do your part, call the meat packing companies and let them know you will boycott their meat products until they stop hiring illegal immigrants and publicly announce their policy against amnesty. Here are the telephone numbers of those companies, courtesy of FAIR:
Seaboard at 800-262-7907
Cargill at 800-227-4455
Hormel at 507-437-5611
You might want to let your senators and representatives concerning this matter as well. The illegal immigrants and their handlers are trying to intimidate Congress to make a bad decision, American citizens MUST speak out.
Don’t tell me that these illegals are taking jobs that Americans don’t want – there are Americans who would work in meat plants and other places. There are legal Mexican immigrants who would take their places. This is not a movement against Mexicans or any other legal immigrants – this is a movement against law breakers and political dissidents who want to change America according to their ideology and twisted leftist thought. It is time that they speak English, obey American laws, and recognize our traditions and form of government; otherwise THEY can go back from whence they came.
I would like to list some quotes from amnesty activists, leaders and those who are holding an elected office, specifically California. These people did not wish to become an American, but instead wanted to create an extended Mexico within our nation …
“Go back to Boston! Got back to Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You are old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten rats. You old white people. It is your duty to die … Through love of having children, we are going to take over.” {Emphasis Mine}
“They’re afraid we’re going to take over the governmental institutions and other institutions. They’re right. We will take them over … We are here to stay.”
{Richard Alatorre, member of the Los Angeles City Council and a Democrat}
“California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn’t like it should leave.”
{Mario Obledo of the California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations, the California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown and a Medal of Freedom winner during the Clinton administration.}
“We have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. The explosion is in our population … I love it. They are [profanity deleted] in their pants with fear. I love it.”
{Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez of the University of Texas}
Protesters in Denver waved Mexican flags and carried signs: “Uncle Sam stole our land!” Another banner read: “If you think I’m illegal because I’m a Mexican, learn the true history because I’m in my homeland.”
Not everyone is so radical when it comes to supporting amnesty, but the gist of their belief that they are not here to assimilate and become an American, but they are determined to change America according to their ideology. And, as history shows, Central and South America has had chaotic history when it comes to political stability. Over the last ten years leftist America-hating radicals have built up their strength in numbers with Mexican Americans and Mexicans who broke our immigration laws. They want “rights” privileged for American citizens, yet they are criminals who broke the law. They have become bold because they number 12 million. It is time to end illegal immigration traffic and return those who have escaped the lethargic government who hasn’t performed their job capturing and deporting illegals, as well as not prosecuting those that employ them.
And where does the Mexican government stand on all of this? Check this out …
Dobbs: The Mexican government lawmakers last night passed a resolution showing their overwhelming support for the demonstrations and boycott in the United States. All political parties in the lower house of the Mexican Congress approved the resolution. This is just the latest example of Mexican politics trying to influence U.S. policy and U.S. public opinion in the illegal alien amnesty debate.
