I received this email (below) from Perdue denying they hire Illegals.
We've had some serious accusations/posts on here about them,, and calls for a boycott of Perdue.
Anyone one prepared to back up the allegations, with FACTS, that were posted here claiming Perdue allowed/authorized their employess to take the day off work for the protest marches??

We only hire people who are authorized to work in the United States.

Due to your support of Illegal aliens protesting in our streets I will no longer buy your products and will inform everyone I know to boycott your products.

80% of American Citizens are opposed to these actions that you support & I find your attitude treasonous.
