K-289.
I did a little research yesterday to check the accuracy of my comments.
I was told by a neighbor close to the meat packing issue locally that my statement ---" If you don't take these UN refugee immigrants we will be by to audit next week". --- Is not the way they would state it.
And as you know the same issue can be presented or spun as desired--------
The advisor told me the way they would put the issue is ----They will be audited and inspected next week one way or the other. The audit will have much more to do with whether certain religous faiths are being hired and "retained" rather than employee immigration status.
At this point everything we do is regulated and controled by usda.....
Sorry if I misrepresented it ------ it is a difficult issue.
I think immigration needs have changed over the years and obviously the law has not. I have been involved with 4 different ones in the last 10 years.
I would just say that too often, new immigrants these days are just here for the job(or the protection) and have no intent of changing culture. Because with technology (like facebook and cheap cell phones), the internet communication, fast international travel, "home" is never far away. The process just becomes the required stuff to get what they want. Not much sacrafice involved.
So we get those who can afford to and those who can't.
And in Washington----- working the system is still more important than fixing it.
