You know it's bad when this happens;
(AP) SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. - Authorities were called out to a Shelbyville job center after a crowd of people began pushing and shoving while waiting in line to apply for jobs at a Tyson Foods plant. Sheriff Randall Boyce said that they responded Monday morning to keep the crowd under control and stop people from cutting line. No one was arrested. The line of about 150 people stretched around the building. Some of the applicants were brought to the center from Nashville by World Relief, a Christian nonprofit that works with refugees from countries like Burma, Iraq, Sudan and Thailand. World Relief employment manager Hom Soukaseme told the Shelbyville Times-Gazette that the group brought some of the refugees to apply for jobs at Tyson. Boyce said people start lining up outside the building as early as Sunday evening for the office to open on Monday. |

When I lived in Nashville, about seven years ago, Shelbyville had a bad illegal immigrunt problem. There are alot of horse farms and nurseries in that area that would hire them. I suspect the line for Tysons Foods jobs was probably predominately hispanic, throw in some refugee's that couldn't say shit with a mouth full and Americans, I'm surprised there wasn't a knifing.

| My wife worked for about 6 months at the Tyson plant here in Amarillo as a nurse. Between the Sudanese or Somali's that would either try to grope her or flat out refuse treatment because she was a woman or the other 16+ nationalities, she got feed up with the place and quit. Only place she has ever worked were plant security would literally escort her to and from the plant parking lot because of previous office woman getting raped in the past. |
