An estimated 750 to 1,000 Somali refugees are living in Emporia, a magnet because of jobs at the Tyson Foods meatpacking plant. Many have latent tuberculosis. H/T to Texas Fred and his comment thread. Tyson Foods' blatant disregard for the institutions of America is worse than we thought - and it stretches outside just the Shelbyville, TN plant. Here's how the Topeka Capital-Journal under the heading "Somalis arrive in Emporia with tuberculosis" describes the "exotic, new arrivals:" EMPORIA — When hundreds of Somali refugees began showing up to work at the meatpacking plant, nurses Lori Torres and Renee Hively were among the first to get to know the exotic, new arrivals. "We got notified a day in advance that 70 Somalis were being transferred from a (Tyson Foods) plant in Nebraska," Hively recalled. "That 70 soon grew into 400, seemingly overnight."...Torres is the case manager for about 160 Somalis in Emporia who have been diagnosed with latent tuberculosis.... WHERE WAS the Center for Disease Control? HOW DID THESE PEOPLE GET INTO THE U.S.? I found the following at immigration.com: Section 212(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act states that aliens with specific health-related conditions are ineligible to receive visas and ineligible for admission into the United States. The Attorney General may waive application of this inadmissibility on health-related grounds if an application for waiver is filed and approved by the consular office considering the application for a visa. The Division of Migration and Quarantine, NCID uses this application primarily to collect information to establish and maintain records of waiver applicants in order to notify the Immigration and Naturalization Service when terms, conditions and controls imposed by waiver are not met. NCID is requesting the extension of this data for 3 years. There total estimated annualize burden is 167 hours. More from the Topeka Capital-Journal: ...each of the department's [Tyson's] nurses divided the case management responsibilities, but with the surge it was decided Torres would take them all, in essence creating a full-time tuberculosis nurse position. They also persuaded the clinic's managers to hire a full-time Somali translator. [Your package of chicken fingers just went up a quarter.} Here's the EXOTIC word again: The Somalis are the most recent and perhaps most exotic wave for this city of about 25,000 people. Not everyone in Emporia has been welcoming. There have been incidents of vandalism and an armed robbery attempt at the Ayan Restaurant, a Somali-owned eatery that also serves as an informal community center for the refugees. An article posted Nov. 3 on the Emporia Gazette Web site about a state grant to Catholic Community Services to help the Somalis settling in Emporia drew scores of angry, anonymous reader reactions, including this one: "Emporia is going to be its own 3rd world country before long because of all the damn, bleeding hearts." "They came post 9/11. They're black and they're Muslim," Hively said, describing some of the hostility demonstrated toward the Somalis. "Emporia didn't have many black people before. This is a small town." If you haven't caught the latest news, Tyson contractually, with its Union, canceled Labor Day - no joking here - at their Shelbyville, TN plant and replaced it with a Muslim holiday sometime each Fall. Let us put Tyson Foods out of business! No extraordinary measures needed. No time out of your day Just don't buy anything made by Tyson Foods Tyson is not only about chicken. They sell beef and pork products, including bacon. One of my readers suggested that we query restaurants. Are they using Tyson for their chicken fingers, hot wings, etc.? Don't buy Tyson until Labor Day is acknowledged again at their Shelbyville plant and these refugees are sent back home. Contact Information Mail: Tyson Foods, Inc. P.O.

This is outrageous. These corporate anarchists and their fed servants belong behind bars.
There is no long form.
They deserve the next level of punishment, imo.
It states the gov can do whatever it wants and YOU, Mr. citizen will STFU, pay your taxes, vote for our hand picked candidates then die.

Growing up, TB was pretty much just an entry in a medical school textbook here in America. Now, thanks to unlimited immigration from third-world nations, it's everywhere. There needs to be a whole day set aside for lining up politicians and responsible business executives in front of firing squads.
