The Owners Of Agriprocessors
The Rubashkins are family of Brooklyn butchers, who
opened a slaughterhouse in Postville Iowa in 1987. They
imported 800 Mexicans and wrecked the towns infrastructure.
The plant has been cited for illegal practices, including the knowing
recruitment of illegal immigrants and inducing them to work in often
dangerous conditions at illegal wages.
The Rubashkin family opened a new processing plant in conjunction
with the Oglala Lakota native-American tribe of the Pine Ridge Indian
Reservation in Gordon, Nebraska in 2006. The presence of the plant on
an Indian reservation provides considerable tax breaks for Rubashkin,
while the plant employs some 100 locals. Governor Dave Heineman
presented a $505,000 gratuity check to Rubashkin on behalf of the city
of Gordon, part of an incentive package that brought the factory to
the town.

Zionist Congressman Outraged
U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, backed by Speaker Pelosi, convened a hearing
in Washington on July 24, 2008 to consider the government's role in
the May 12 raid on the Agriprocessors plant.
Witnesses at recent congressional hearings described the federal
immigration raid on the country's largest kosher plant as a travesty
of justice, a national disgrace and an ambush.

The Head Of Immigration
In a hearing room packed with onlookers, it was Forman and a senior
Department of Justice official, Deborah Rhodes, in the dock as the
government faced the first sustained examination of its policy of
bringing criminal charges against illegal immigrants.
“Personally and professionally, I find that quite offensive,” said
Marcy Forman, the director of the
Office of Investigations at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the
lead agency in the raid. “Being of the Jewish faith, I equate
concentration camps to the murder of over 6 million individuals.”

Zionist Representative Furious
“We have a schizophrenic country,” said Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Calif.),
noting that calls for a temporary worker program would fail unless
enforcement was taken seriously.
Lungren said the hearings seemed to focus on the supposed failures of
a government agency, but in fact further investigation might find that
Immigration and Customs Enforcement did things properly.
