salmonella , e coli what will be next??

First i would like to say that i am  PROUD american and love my country and its' people. That said, I am sick and tired of "ILLEGALS" collecting my tax dollars and getting aid that I can't even get! Just in the last few years, I have seen an amazing change. The illegal population is taking our money (sending a vast amount to mexico), jobs, often commiting crimes against US, getting everything to be written in spanish and pushing aside English. Please don't confuse me as a racist, I'm not. I am for anyone who wants to legally come to America, go through the legal process, and be a working part of our society, SPEAK english, and be an AMERICAN. I think with the way this is all coming around (example; the mexican flag put above the American flag, here in America at a Public American school), If Americans don't step up and put an end to these type of incidents soon, it maybe to late.     

peanut butter.....go figure a chicken disease in a non-chicken product!~!! http://today.reuters.com/news/article... />

<>go big business!!! one day you to will feel what us lowly American's that Bush says we won't work so the low life scum of Mexico can come in and do!!!

QueMan -- Proud American who won't eat Mexican food, spinache, lettuce, and now peanut butter unless I grow it myself!!

Well, I never bought the 'wild pig' explanation for the Spinach contamination.  And since many illegal aliens work in the food processing  business.................That would be a good place to start rounding them up.....Inspection for produce and meat is sadly lacking.....Many Americans don't realize that it has been a practice to process Beef...that is 'downed'.  'Downed' means the animal is too sick, or injured, to stand or move on it's own.

Since the Mad Cow scares around the world....some countries like Japan, inspect every animal, and exclude brain and spine......It may seem strange, but Japan may be responsible for better screening and inspection of beef(at least for meat going to Japan). 

slvrblond, in Kansas there is a meat packing plant that wanted to implement more stringent, Japanese standards for its beef inspection so that it could sell the beef at a premium to countries such as Japan.  The American Beef Industry would not allow it.  They may have finally been allowed to do so, I'm not sure.

Recently, there was an article on the internet about the Senate dining room offering Japanese beef instead of American beef.  Is there anyone out there who truly believes our government has our health and welfare foremost in their minds?  Oh, and it isn't just the illegal aliens picking our vegetables, we're getting more and more produce from Mexico and soon it will be our hershey's chocolates.

 We've been sold out to big business and it doesn't matter if its an "American" business or a foreign business, they're all the same now.

I had just heard that on the radio about the Hershey's plant I think Thursday or Friday.I thought they have to be joking, closing the Hershey plant down in Hershey Pennsylvania. I mean come on the town and amusement park is named after the company. As a country filled with obese people do they really think we believe that chocolate sales are down.

  I thought it was kinda funny as they say that Mexican's are doing the work that American's won't do yet there are massive lay-offs all over the country and plants moving to Mexico and other third world countries. How can American's be getting laid off if they are not doing the work as we kept being told. Sounds like a contradiction to me. Also when they had the raid on the chicken processing plant in Georgia and thankfully sent back several hundred aliens they said the line was out the door for American's apply for jobs. Why because the plant had to raise the pay up to an amount that was FAIR and HONEST for the work being done.  

 QueMan I am with you it might get to the point where we have to grow our own produce or only purchase it if you are lucky enough to have a farmers market near you that you personally know the farmers so you know who is handling your food.

Well, Canada and the US, share parity in the meat processing....They were taking 'Downed' animals, too.  Canadians were furious that Japan banned their beef after the notorious Mad Cow Scare a couple of years ago....And japan has banned our beef, too.  I don't see why anyone should resent the Japanese for demanding more stringent inspection...if they have undertaken 100% inspection of their beef.....Why shouldn't they expect the same quality control from beef they import?......Sadly, the average American doesn't realize...how lack of inspection, and and enforcement endangers us.....Add that to the threats of tampering from illegals working in food and meat processing jobs....Our water, and food supplies are seriously compromised .......We need to get a handle on this situation....like last week.  If we are being threatened by illegal employees working in food and meat processing businesses........They need to be rounded up, and deported........immediately.

Your Remarks about the Senate Dining room offering Japanese beef.....should give us all a wake up call.....If American Beef isn't fit for our Senator's consumption......it sure isn't 'good' enough for American Citizens, either!

This myth about Illegals doing jobs Americans won't do is a 'snow job'.  How many people do you know that would turn down a job in Construction, or on a road crew?

Working in a meat packing plant isn't the most charming job in the world....But Americans did do that job before the onslaught of illegals.

Illegals drive down salaries because they will work for less, and make less demands on employers

As to Fruit and vegetable picking.......those jobs will be done by mechanized equipment.....I recently saw 'orange picking' machines.

What will happen to those all important pickers when the mechanization takes over? 

Retraining programs for illegals?

I got this off of one of the sites I listed. Here is the news the media WON'T show us! 

Below is a link to a very good movie regarding illegal immigration and the border war. Please pass it on to friends as for sure you won't see it in the mainstream media.

And the Beat goes on.

Am I the only one who doesn't get all warm and fuzzy when you read stuff like this?

Houston Texas just had an exposure to Hepatitus in a Local Pappasitos mexican resturant bet it was an illegal from mexico that provided the infection. Thousands of people have been give shots by the county.

 Is the senate dining room free of charge to the elitest of this country.
