POSTVILLE, Iowa - Scores of Somali immigrants are taking jobs at the nation’s largest kosher meatpacking plant, replacing Hispanic workers arrested in a huge immigration raid and forcing a remote Iowa town to make another cultural shift.

Before the May 12 raid at Agriprocessors, hundreds of Mexican and Guatemalan immigrants maintained a vibrant community in Postville, a largely white community of 2,200 people in northeast Iowa.

Now the stoops and haunts once occupied by Hispanics are being filled by about 150 Somali men.

Aydurus Farah, a 21-year-old who immigrated from Somalia in 2004, set out for work in meatpacking plants to make money for his family back home in Somalia.

Gah.

I used to say I never met an African that I didn't like. Then I met Somalis.

Almost to a man, they're filthy, uncouth, sexist, and rude.

Have fun, Iowegians. Bet you'll be missing the Guatemalans...

As of 2003, Minnesota was the home to 60,000 refugees from Somalia. Who knew?

Plenty of willing workers for the Kosher slaughter houses. Dirty work, you see. Not something most Americans would want to do.

Not only that it's dirty work, but kosher slaughter practices, in particular, are very cruel and inhumane.

There was a Youtube video that I came across - I think the video was taken by a Humane Society "mole" in a kosher slaughterhouse and it was truly sickening.

I've seen a video of it: they slit the creatures throat (no anesthesia) and let them bleed out. I see why the Nazi's outlawed it and I, too, would like to outlaw it.

We could start by not subsidizing Israel, which just encourages the demand.
