Poultry company could become major Tar Heel employer about 2600 employees
Laurel, Miss.-based Sanderson Farms is on its way to becoming
a major employer in Eastern North Carolina.
The poultry processor already is building a plant near Kinston
and may build a second complex near Goldsboro.
Together, the operations would employ about 2,600.

It's actually being built right across the street from West Pharm in Kinston I think. Didn't read the article but thats where some major construction foundation is being built. Should make Kinston smell great. But it's jobs so thats good.
Don't be so quick to judge. The butterball turkey plant in Mt. Olive is a major employer for Wayne County, and not just hispanics. One of the few relatively well paying jobs ($10/hr for sanitation, $14hr for live hanging, plus employees often get overtime) for unskilled workers. And you get a free turkey on the holidays

Is this something you want to have pride working with
at Butterball
I don't work at butterball, and I don't get worked up over what happens to animals that are destined for a dinner plate anyway. No more than I'd get worked up over swatting a fly, or a fish I caught that suffocates when brought out of the water. The turkeys are a commodity not pets. Short of being a Vegan, I find it kind of self-righteuos to criticize how these animals end up in the grocer. In addition, I doubt the the poultry plant in Kinston is going to be sending their birds into that gentle light with incense, Enya, and some carbon monoxide.
Furthermore, the cusp of my argument was simply that the plant in Kinston will likely not just employ hispanics (legal or otherwise) and was simply using the butterball plant as proof that such a plant already exists and is feeding a lot of families in the area. So I'm not sure where the "pride working with at butterball" thing is even coming from.
Back to the hispanic thing. The jobs that immigrants took, were jobs that Americans, young ones especially, felt they were too good for. With the trade jobs in decline in most of the state, lot of guys are finding out they are not too good for those jobs after all. Which has actually cut down on the number of illegal immigrants in the employ of these unskilled laborer jobs.
