| I do understand what you're saying and my judgment may be premature, only time will tell, I'm just thinking why would these plants choose to import from Puerto Rico rather than Texas or Louisiana where there are many people in need of a job? I think there is more to it than they just can't find anyone in the 48 states that wants a job.
Don't try and make this a race issue, like with the illegals from south of the boarder, because its not. I'm talking about the type of people, be them black, white, red or yellow, that are willing to come by the bus load to southwest Kansas. I have no problem with Mexicans. I do have a problem with the type of Mexicans, Indians, Caucasians, Blacks or Asians that are willing to except such a move.
Just like what we have now, most were looking for a quick way out of town in the first place. If you know what I mean. By the very nature of things I highly doubt they were the pillars of the community.
I am happy to see the packinghouses cleaning house on illegals. I just would have felt better knowing it was a choice rather than fear, but hey! I will reserve my judgment until I've met them first hand and I'm only speaking from what I've been told. I just don't put much faith in our plants choices. They've never looked out for us before so I don't expect them to now.
