State Gives Troubled Meatpacking Plant $600,000

The state of Iowa has given $600,000 in state assistance, plus tax credits to the new owners of the former AgriProcessors in Postville. The assistance will help boost a proposed $15 million modernization of the Kosher beef and poultry meatpacking plant. The plant was closed and is now in limited operation after a May 2008 raid that led to the arrest of 389 illegal immigrants.
According to state documents, Agri Star Meat & Poultry hopes to introduce a new line of oven-baked beef and chicken. The Iowa Economic Development Board agreed to provide the company with loans and grants, plus an estimated $941,652 in tax credits, based on the company’s capital investment in the plant.more.

I wonder if the new one is kosher…
Why? So that the jew boys can cook their books again and hire back most if not all of the illegal immigrants they hired the first time around? This is NOT kosher, someone somewhere in a position of authority knows about this and gave their blessing. How do 389 illegal immigrants get hired and NOT noticed.
Nice. Rewarding illegal activity with tax payer money.
The truth is we still have E-Verify in place and the employers are not using it. We had a guy down in Texas who told his mexican employees to change their names. The bottom line is, these employers want cheap labor, and if you and your family suffer, then too bad.
