driverkid3... I would take that bet! Let's be realistic... over 1,000 jobs would be filled with "undocumented immigrants"...really? What is your objection...? Do you not like undocumented immigrants? Exactly what would happen if there were 1,000 undocumented immigrants working there? You need to tell me more. Are you saying the plant in Kinston has 1,000 undocumented immigrants working there? Kinston seems VERY happy about the chicken processing plant they have...?

If the plant is so bad how are they in business. Someone must be buying the chickens. As an American we get to make our own choices but does that mean we get to pick and choose our neighbors. If so I like to get rid of two families that live close to me. Hire a contractor and anyone else and see how many illegals show up to work. You getting a good deal and when you getting the benefit the tune kinda changes. It is only when someone else benefits from the illegals that you complain.

@ Mustang Sallie for this:::If it means helping to bring a steady paycheck into my family... I would be glad to work one of the jobs

I'd bet dollars to donuts if you are an American citizen you would not be able to get one of those jobs as they will be using "undocumented immigrants." That has been my main objection to this business locating in the county.

People should visit a chicken slaughter house, it's horrible, disgusting, unsanitary. Chicken feet, feathers, heads, intestines are conveyored outside on a cement slab.....rolling with magots in the hot sun. A front-end loader runs continuiously filling trailors that haul it off, or dump it into the river when they get too far behind....it's cheaper to pay the fine for river dumping than haul it away.....The pugnant stinch is so strong employees and nearby residents actually get sinus infections from the smell..... Thanks Nash County....I have visited a slaughter house. Leaders of Nash County would have you believe you can have a pic-nik on a blanket on at the river where their waste is disposed.

Proximity of I-95 and a river is the only reason this facility is being built. It just happens that it is near housing communities that will lose the value of their homes and properties.

"Supporters say the plant would create more than 1,000 jobs in an area where the unemployment rate was 12.4 percent in July."

However, 90% of these jobs will be given to illegals...... Where will Sanderson Farms find 1000 people who would rather work and give up their welfare and entitlements? Government pays more than minimum wage. Here comes another 1000 illegals from surrounding areas. This plant will do nothing to help Nash county, and it won't lower the unemploymet rate. Who elected the people that made this decision?

producing chickens is a real product, and not a service industry!

Nash County is ranked among the top ten mot impoverished areas in the US. They should be happy to get any jobs at all, especially the ones that do not depend on the government. It's a pitiful area that needs all the help they can get, regardless of how bad the jobs are............

If chicken plants are too dangerous, then the others in the state should be closed, shouldn't they?

I wonder in a huge rainstorm or Hurricane how Sanderson Farms will keep the reservoirs that hold chicken waste products from overflowing and ruining the water supply of Nash & Wilson counties?

A lot of community would jump at the chance to attract a company that is going to create over 1000 jobs with the economy in the shape it is. With the response that speculates on who would fill these jobs is all because we as Americans think that we are to good to do this type of work and have been raised with a silver spoon in our mouths. If you would take the time to get to know some one and maybe walk in there shoes you may just understand.
