David,

Good Morning!

I received a copy of your email and, though I understand where you are coming from, your comments are disappointing, especially your very rigid stand against our company when you do not have the proper information on which to base your decision. For your information, we do not employ undocumented immigrant workers at any of our facilities. We take all the extra steps available to us today to make sure all our workers have proper USA documentation. At each of our two plants we employ a few Hispanic workers; all have proper documentation. We also employ a contract firm to perform the sanitation function at those two plants. They employ some Hispanic workers and go through the same regimen we go through to assure their workers have the correct documentation. As a matter of fact, this is not only about Hispanics but any nationality of immigrants. We want to make sure that all are properly documented. We employ workers from several nationalities and they have a great work ethic and are valuable to our success. We intend to always operate within the laws of our country. To work undocumented workers is illegal and we do not participate in anything illegal.

We hope that you will reconsider your position about our company now that you have the facts. Best wishes to you and your family. God Bless America!

Dear Business Owner,

In light of your company’s choosing to condone the invasion of our Nation by illegal aliens and their supporters by either closing your doors on May 1, 2006 or by the hiring of illegal immigrants, I must inform you that I will no longer be conducting any business with your company.

As I’m sure you’re aware, illegal immigrants undermine both the economic and social fabric of our Nation and I, as a legal tax-paying citizen or legal immigrant, will be utilizing the power of my shopping dollars to send the message that support such as you have displayed with no longer be tolerated within our borders.

While I realize that your company is looking at your ‘bottom line’ by supporting cheap labor, you must understand that many Americans are more concerned with the future of our Country than with your profit margin..

I will be spreading the word regarding your support of the acceleration of our Nation’s demise and urging my family, friends and acquaintances to do the same.

Respectfully submitted,

David A. Bess
