The ad required the Guatemalans to have visas prior to coming and applying.<BR/><BR/>It is, by no means, to bring this up on "my side", ridiculous. We all agree Agriprocessors should be convicted and held responsible. The point I was making was that of your statement: You know you could not use either term, "wooed" or "preferential category" for Latinos. When I clearly showed: So you see, Agriprocessors did "woo" the Guatemalans who had work permits to allow them to work in the USA. "Preferred" was it not that they ran the ad in a Guatemalan newspaper? I also pointed to the TN and EB visas, which you have yet to indulge.<BR/><BR/>We all agree on Agriprocessors. Craig @ projectusa did a great write up of it, for which you agreed.

They solicited, hired and brought them here and exploited them. <BR/>They enticed them with the ad. What is clear is, those 300 Guatemalans who were cow barned DID NOT have Visas, even though they were PROMISED preferred visas in the Ad. <BR/><BR/>Agriprocessors is perhaps the most heinous of all exploiting employers. To bring him up as an example for your side is actually quite ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>Here is more about Agriprocessors from the failed messiah link you provided:<BR/><BR/>"What Rubashkin Knew And When He Knew It<BR/>I reread a large chunk of Stephen Bloom's book Postville over the second day of Shavuot. I hadn't looked at the book in a long time – I think I last read bits of it five years ago. <BR/><BR/>Bloom clearly… <BR/><BR/>…shows that Aaron Rubashkin was directly and knowingly involved in recruiting, transporting and employing illegal workers, despite his recent claims to the contrary. <BR/><BR/>Bloom also reports sexual harassment of female illegal workers, forced sex, and other abuses. <BR/><BR/>Bloom reports the starting salary in 1997 was $6 per hour, with nothing taken out – meaning no Social Security or Income taxes withheld. <BR/><BR/>How could that be? <BR/><BR/>Because Agriprocessors was still refusing to comply with US law mandating companies check workers documents and withhold taxes."Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09583438645860375661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-27352845750967134572008-06-15T12:48:00.000-05:002008-06-15T12:48:00.000-05:00Agriprocessors Runs Help Wanted Ads In Guatemala N...<A HREF="http://failedmessiah.typepad.com/failed_messiahcom/Agri%20Guatemala%20Ad.pdf" REL="nofollow">Agriprocessors Runs Help Wanted Ads In Guatemala Newspapers</A><BR/><BR/>So you see, Agriprocessors did "woo" the Guatemalans who had work permits to allow them to work in the USA.
