 Americans Call on Immigration and Customs to Raid Smithfield Plant in North Carolina
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT:
William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC)
(866) 329-3999 or WilliamG@alipac.us
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, a national organization with many supporters in North Carolina, is calling on their state and national supporters to contact Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) requesting a raid on the Smithfield Packing Company’s processing plant in Tar Heel, N.C. for knowingly hiring illegal aliens.
"We applaud Smithfield Foods Incorporated's initial efforts to screen out illegal alien employees," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "But they have rehired these illegal aliens who are using fraudulent documents and stolen identities. Smithfield Foods Inc. is now knowingly violating federal law. We want ICE to come and do the job taxpayers pay them to do. We want ICE and Smithfield Packing to remove all illegal aliens from their workforce immediately."
ALIPAC's citizen activists will begin calling, e-mailing, and faxing federal authorities and Smithfield Foods Inc. TODAY to demand immediate action to remove all illegal alien employees from their workforce.
A few weeks ago, Smithfield Foods discovered that approximately 600 of their employees had social security numbers on file that did not match with their names at the Social Security Administration. They fired 75 of these employees for providing false documents and information. Labor Unions seized on the issue and hundreds of Latino workers walked off the job in protest. Smithfield Foods caved in to this pressure and rehired the illegal aliens that had provided false information.
This plant is considered to be the world's largest hog slaughtering plant.
Recent studies have shown that illegal aliens have depressed wages in North Carolina and are a burden to NC taxpayers. Studies also indicate that North Carolina is a top national destination for illegal aliens. Every few weeks there are new reports of more North Carolinians killed by drunk driving illegal aliens.
"We are not going to pay the extra costs of lost taxes, depressed wages, lost jobs, and spilled American blood for Smithfield Packing's cheap illegal labor force,” says William Gheen. "We will push for the ICE raid and for the company to obey the law or we may have to launch national boycott of their products."
Aiding and abetting illegal aliens to remain unlawfully in the US is a federal felony under Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii) Employers that intentionally hire illegal labor face fines and possible jail time.
Pork Products and BBQ are very popular in N.C. Polls show a high level and rising degree of concern about illegal immigration in the state. Smithfield Foods Inc now faces an organized protest response from citizens that buy their products. ALIPAC and FIRE Coalition are the directors of the National Miller Brewing Boycott which includes over 100 organizations at www.millerboycott.com Miller Brewing's sales have declined during the boycott.
Americans for Legal Immigration is now one of the largest national organizations fighting illegal immigration. ALIPAC is a multi-ethnic and multi-party organization that enjoys the support of many LEGAL immigrants. Supporters are organized in all 50 states. For more information, please visit www.alipac.us
