08/25/2007: "Meatpackers used immigrants to become monopoly"

Family ranchers in the Midwest and West are hoping Congress can help them fight the gradual consolidation of the meat industry, which they say is hurting their business. A handful of large meatpacking companies slaughtered 80 percent of steers and heifers in 2005, up 30 percent from 20 years ago.

[ All that money saved -- stolen, taken out of the economy in which you participate -- through immigrant labor has enabled these meatpackers to become megacorporations. They will now discard their immigrant labor and leave you to pay for the consequences. ]
