...is some people don't understand what illegal immigrants are...

Plant raid...

Quote of the year from the article:

"We have kids without dads and pregnant mothers who got their husbands taken away," said Velez's son, Robert, youth pastor at the church. "It was like a horror story. They got handled like they were criminals ."

ummm, yeah, is there another way to handle people that break the law?

quote:

... 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.

A lot of families will be helped by the creation of 600 jobs in the community, and the Union will be strengthened as this insidious and off the radar form of Union Busting is brought into daylight.

There are plenty of jobs to be had that require hard work and pay little. My guess is that the folks in the greater Laurel area won't be jumping at the opportunity any time soon.

Can I get a rim shot?


People wait in line for orientation Tuesday at Howard Industries in Laurel.

How the hell do you delete posts around here???

Where is Fan when you need someone to rub this in Clam's face?

Now Clam did say it was "my guess" with respect to the jobs to be filled. So really, he is just a bad guesser. My advice would be to never disagree with jombl before checking the facts, and especially if you are just going to guess your position.

You can only delete your own posts... and if you posted the first message in a thread, all messages in the thread will be deleted.

At the bottom right-hand side of the messege you want to delete, there are three little icons. The middle one is the "Edit" button. Click it.

Your message will then come up in an edit window. At the bottom of the edit window there is a link that says, "Delete message.' Click it.

As I recall, an "Are your sure?" alert box comes up. Anyway, that's it. --Ted E.

Ah, Mr. E. You slay me. I've been deleting posts since GE Fan has been in diapers.

I will never, ever question anything that jombl says again.

I may be getting one of those, although I'd prefer it from a tagine with dates - I may never get around to supporting my claim that we have a legal requirement to individually maintain the parkway. I wonder if Fish would allow fish?

What's the over/under on that plant closing because the union which ratted out the illegals will try to organize?

Thanks for the reminder....I nearly forgot about that!
