The packing plant managers were trafficking in illegal immigrants to work at those plants. The local Iowans would not work at the meat packing or poultry packing plants - so management decided to hire cheap illegal labor.
This is not just a case of the Mexicans coming across the border but is a case of high level corporate management recruiting the Mexicans in Mexico and bringing them to work in Iowa's dirty jobs - that no Iowans will do.
Put the blame where it belongs, JimJoe. I would also place a wager that most of the high level corporate management involved in this illegal trafficking of Mexicans voted REPUBLICAN and probably gave generous contributions to REPUBLICAN candidates.

SORRY but you are wrong. My brother in law worked HARD for Iowa Beef Packers for years. My cousin worked HARD for years for Hormels Beef. They never quit because of the hard work. My sister in law is being laid off because the Frigidaire plant in Webster City is being moved to Mexico.
Americans will do the hard work. They just want a fair paycheck. The reason those jobs are being lost is because illegals will do the word CHEAPER and ILLEGALLY.. and our government encourages companies to take those jobs overseas.... all so foreigners can do the work cheaper and the international corporations can make more profit.
I think it is an ABOMINATION that liberals are willing to say hard working blue collar AMERICAN workers are not willing to do hard work.. just so they can justify illegals. It is NOT true and my family (INCLUDING ME-- I can list the jobs I did growing up that illegals are now doing) and We RESENT IT!!!
