LAUREL – About 30 cars were lined up in front of Howard Industries’ Laurel plant today filled with people looking for jobs.
“That’s all they would hire – Mexican, Mexican, Mexican!â€
Great post AM! I have always been suspicious of companies who do not do international business and who are not dealing directly with the public (companies such as Howard). However, they require managers/supervisors to be bilingual, with the second language being spanish of course! The want ads are full of those here in California! I saw one today for Quicksilver, in which they were looking for a production supervisor here in CAQuote:

On my way out of the plant today, I saw around 60 Americans anxious to be gainfully employed lined up in the hallway of the Personal Dept. Many more Americans from the surrounding area will surely be applying for jobs. This was in no way a discriminating act that happened here yesterday. Enforcing our immigrations laws are not unjust. I applaud the agents of I.C.E. and the professional way they carried out this operation. I hope they never leave. I just heard 5 seconds ago that the number of illegal aliens apprehended tally has reached 600 which according to the local news anchor makes this the largest operation of it's kind to date. Believe me when I say there are hundreds more still here. There is another facility operated by Howard Ind. located in Sandersville that has not been hit yet, however, I.C.E. is still here and further investigations are ongoing.
So good to hear Americans are going to get the jobs! :D
Thank you I.C.E.!
WOW!!!Quote:

Welcome AmericanMomma! Isn't it great to have our town back, if only for a little while, because like you I'm not so sure this will last. I'm an eternal pessimist concerning the enforcement of our immigration laws. I just pray that this can be a turning point for our home.
Icefan,
The prospect of hundreds of IBEW Union jobs opening up for legal
workers at HI is great news. I'll bet the mood at the front office is a little glum. Good paying jobs for local taxpaying Americans and keeping the money in the local community, not sent to Mexico. The local schools will
have some empty seats and the ER at the local hospital will have a shorter wait. keep us posted buddy.
WOW is right. ICEFAN, can you get pics of the lines of Americans lining up for the jobs. Let's send them to good old McCain and Obama. Let's put it on Youtube.Quote:

Maybe the national news will air this story tonight. I didin't see it on last night!
Welcome AmericanMomma:
Boy haven't we all been there. Our government officials should lose their retirement and take a pay cut for the next 30 years or so.
Employers and Landlords, both should be fined and do jail time.

Excellent! If the personnel dept. at HI has a brain between them, each recently vacated job will be filled by an AMERICAN very soon! 600 jobs IS a HUGE deal for struggling unemployed or under-employed American citizens! Maybe they will get the Sandersville plant next! The best of luck when it comes contract negotiation time again.Quote:

Absolutely amazing... Where will the next large raid be?
Can we find out more about the tipster? I don't mean who but how and what exactly one needs to do for a tip to result in such an outcome.
It has been great to read your on the scene reports.
I'd like to know the HOW too.Quote:

BB, it is obvious. The employees working in HR are corrupt and aiding & abetting. I'm willing to bet my last $ that those HR employees are illegal themselves, or if legal, are taking bribes.Quote:

THANK YOU, ICEMAN!!!!!!! HONESTLY, I THINK IT IS YOUR INFO TO ICE THAT BROUGHT THIS RAID ON.
THANK YOU FROM ME, MY DAUGHTER, AND MY STILL-TO-BE-BORN GRANDCHILDREN!!!!!!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND HER TROOPS! AND ICE!
WELCOME GAZ, AMERICANMOMMA, AND ICEFAN!!!!!!!
WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU! WELCOME TO THE FIGHT!
Unfortunately, I can't take credit for this. I believe the credit will have to go to an unknown UNION member. I never mentioned I was in the Union in my communications.Quote:

Good video ICEFAN!
Isn't that great to see American citizens lining up for work?
And this raid should lower the unemployment rate of the state. Excellent!

I clicked on another of the videos, and I think my favorite QUOTE OF THE DAY IS THIS (from one of the mothers arresting and released with an ankle bracelet):

HUH????????? SAY THAT AGAIN?
LOL!!! Don't you just love that third-world logic!Quote:

Tuesday, August 26, 2008
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,411121,00.html
Aug. 25: Members of the Homeland Security ICE team raid Howard Industries in Laurel, Miss. during a raid for undocumented workers.
LAUREL, Miss. — The largest single-workplace immigration raid in U.S. history has caused panic among Hispanic families in this small southern Mississippi town, where federal agents rounded up nearly 600 plant workers suspected of being in the country illegally.
:lol: :lol: One worker caught in Monday's sweep at the Howard Industries transformer plant said fellow workers applauded as immigrants were taken into custody. Federal officials said a tip from a union member prompted them to start investigating several years ago.
Fabiola Pena, 21, cradled her 2-year-old daughter as she described a chaotic scene at the plant as the raid began, followed by clapping.
"I was crying the whole time. I didn't know what to do," Pena said. "We didn't know what was happening because everyone started running. Some people thought it was a bomb but then we figured out it was immigration."About 100 of the 595 detained workers were released for humanitarian reasons, many of them mothers who were fitted with electronic monitoring bracelets and allowed to go home to their children, officials said.
About 475 other workers were transferred to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Jena, La. Nine who were under 18 were transferred to the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
John Foxworth, an attorney representing some of the immigrants, said eight appeared in federal court in Hattiesburg on Tuesday because they face criminal charges for allegedly using false Social Security and residency identification.
He said the raid was traumatic for families.
"There was no communication, an immediate loss of any kind of news and a lack of understanding of what's happening to their loved ones," he said. "A complete and utter feeling of helplessness."
The superintendent of the county school district said about half of approximately 160 Hispanic students were absent Tuesday.
Roberto Velez, pastor at Iglesia Cristiana Peniel, where an estimated 30 to 40 percent of the 200 parishioners were caught up in the raid, said parents were afraid immigration officials would take them.
"They didn't send their kids to school today," he said. "How scared is that?"
Those detained were from Brazil, El Salvador, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, and Peru, said Barbara Gonzalez, an ICE spokeswoman.
Elizabeth Alegria, 26, a Mexican immigrant, was working at the plant Monday when ICE agents stormed in. When they found out she has two sons, ages 4 and 9, she was fitted with a bracelet and told to appear in federal court next month. Her husband, Andres, was not so lucky.
"I'm very traumatized because I don't know if they are going to let my husband go and when I will see him," Elizabeth Alegria said through a translator Tuesday as she returned to the Howard Industries parking lot to retrieve her sport utility vehicle.
"We have kids without dads and pregnant mothers who got their husbands taken away," said Velez's son, Robert, youthes it a felony for an illegal immigrant to accept a job in Mississippi. A message was left with the district attorney's office after hours seeking comment on whether he would use the law to bring state charges against Howard Industries or the workers.
The Mississippi raid is one of several nationwide in recent years.
On May 12, federal immigration officials swept into Agriprocessors, the nation's largest kosher meatpacking plant, in Iowa. Nearly 400 workers were detained and dozens of fraudulent permanent resident alien cards were seized from the plant's human resources department, according to court records. In December 2006, 1,297 were arrested at Swift meatpacking plants in Nebraska and five other states.
AAAhhhhh. This raid is the gift that keeps on giving. Gets better every time I hear more about it.
WOW LOOK AT MISSISSIPPI. BET THAT GOES DOWN SOMETIME SOON. EXCEPT THE PEOPLE GETTING JOBS THERE NOW MIGHT NOT HAVE WORKED IN AWHILE, SO THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN COUNTING THEM.Quote:

Look out for the many sob stories and backlash from the cheap labor lobby.
I noticed Pastor Valez offered a phone number if any one wanted to help the families of the illegals. I'd like to give him and them a piece of my mind.Quote:
