Outsourcing still devastating American workers (more jobs going to Mexico)

Outsourcing still devastating American workers (more jobs going to Mexico)
On Thursday, Rheem Manufacturing Co. announced that they will be moving their production plant from Fort Smith, Arkansas, to Mexico... taking with it, 250 jobs. --Rheem has an existing plant in Nuevo Laredo and will be expanding that facility by 290,000 square feet, and will be manufacturing heat pumps, presumably to ship back to the U.S.

Arkansas: One state's struggle with immigration...Dems control both chambers

Arkansas: One state's struggle with immigration...Dems control both chambers...lawmakers found little traction this year with efforts to address illegal immigration at the state level..Despite a push by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to address immigration, a series of proposals were rejected or stalled during the legislative session that ended last month. From efforts to crack down on contractors hiring illegal aliens to a measure aimed at cutting off most state services for illegal aliens, there were virtually no successes for lawmakers who said the issue needed to be addressed.

Nearly a million acres of prime Mississippi farmland threatened by approaching mega-flood

Nearly a million acres of prime Mississippi farmland threatened by approaching mega-flood..hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in other states like Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee that also touch these bursting rivers..unprecedented loss of farmland and food crops; the destruction of homes, businesses and infrastructure; and the potential triggering of a massive earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ) are all of primary concern as this Mississippi flood situation escalates. Interestingly, the US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is set to conduct a catastrophic earthquake exercise near the NMSZ from May 16 - May 19, 2011, which coincides perfectly with this ticking time bomb..
