Army,
When that debate was going on I did not live in the area.
My stand now? (IMO) Alot of people are upset and are anti packing house. Would those people be as upset if the packing houses employeed white people who were just like us. Probably not! Because people like us, (in most cases) are legal, we do not steal S.S. numbers, do not steal others identities and do not steal from the I.R.S. People are pissed off because the American citizens are the victims. People are pissed off because dispite what the packers say about thier hiring practices they continue to hire illegals! People are pissed off because the officials we elect to represent us, don't!
Then we have the group who are upset not only because of what I've mention above, but also because the packers are raping our natural resources and pumping polutants back in our faces!
Would I vote to remove them? Let me ask you this. Do you want to see this town drop to about 5,000 in population? If the packers were to be gone tomorrow our city would go bankrupt. Property values would drop and the revenues would dry up. Every winter when the packers cut their hours to 36 a week, the repercussions are felt in the business district. To answer your question: No
Are they destroying our community? Not sure what you mean by "destroying" If you mean ruining, no.
Army, That's just my opinion.
