Massive Illegal Immigration Raid

Massive Illegal Immigration raid
Wednesday –April 16 2008- Little Rock, Arkansas

KeepArkansasLegal, an immigration reform group based in Arkansas, would like to express support for the raid on Pilgrim’s Pride Poultry Plant in Batesville,AR. We would also like to encourage the effort to prosecute the executive officers of this negligent company.

Illegals make up less than 5% of the US workforce and are less than 3% of the GDP. Studies that claim to show illegal aliens are a benefit to the economy mix illegal aliens with legal immigrants to hide the cost of illegal immigration. Illegal immigration has become a problem for the State of Arkansas as thousands of illegal aliens are smuggled into the state to be used as cheap labor by greedy corporations like Pilgrim’s Pride. The friends and family of those illegal workers end up on state benefits such as free education and food stamps. While Arkansas Citizens were busy filing their taxes, illegals were getting that tax money and a few greedy corporations were paying their illegal workers under the table. While the majority of companies in Arkansas are legitimate businesses that use the capitalist system, Pilgrim’s Pride decided to use the exploitation system that is used in corrupt regimes like China and Mexico.

We can expect the PR spin that will occur after this raid. Pilgrim’s Pride will get a pass for hiring hundreds of illegal aliens by claiming it was fooled by people who can’t even speak English, just like the excuse used by Petit Jean Poultry. A fake SSN can be checked on websites like checkmyssn.com. Many in the press will write guilt-trip stories about the families of illegals far more than they wrote about the family of Daniel Francis who was killed by an illegal alien in Arkansas. Groups like the AR Friendship Coalition will try to bring race into the issue and the Mexican Narco-Regime will complain about the raid since they believe US taxpayers are responsible for Mexican Citizens.

We believe that more raids should be done on crooked companies that hire illegals until they reform or go out of business. Companies that hire illegals should be forced to pay for all the expenses of processing and deporting the illegals they hired and the corporate executives should serve jail time for at least negligence. We also believe that state and local governments should do their part to force illegals out of the state. We urge the people of Arkansas to support the ballot initiative under review by the Attorney General which will require proof of citizenship to obtain state benefits. We also urge voters to support candidates who have the best record on opposing illegal immigration in upcoming May 20th election. We must follow the example of Oklahoma in reducing illegal immigration as much as possible!
