Re: Mueller Report
The Republicans have forced the disclosure of classified information when they targeted Democrats, so the precedents should be followed. No detail should remain unpublished. They thought it worthwhile to publish all the details surrounding a failed investigation of Bill Clinton, finally settling on prosecuting him for lying about a consensual sexual affair. Meanwhile a traitor goes free, damaging our country and the world every day.
if the jobs are so high paying why do all the amfels workers live in matamoros.
they should make it a requitement for them to live and spend in Brownsville.
Puros transas que nomas quieren mochada.
They don't even support the taquerias, frijolerias y tortilerias doing business here. MAMONES...
This is a fact working in the port of Brownsville at Amfels
they treat you and work you like slaves.
Are they Amfels direct, or through Judge Alejandro, it is him that made the money while his manager went to jail..
You have to be in the Cabler Wednesday night crowd to qualify. Another one of The Jackass Jason Hilts scams.
They bring racist repubican gringos to kick ass, after two days they quit and leave. Que, que no entiendo ingis.
Is the i am not a robot fixed just like the coming election???
Amfels was allways a scam even though Cabler and Hilts, how the Fed's let Alejandro go is beyond comprehension he must have sang three times the nuns chorus, he certainly ran with his tail between his legs.
AMFELS IS A JOKE
they have few full time employees
most are seasonal and contract
employees
they hire foreign workers with
work visas to pay them less
McAllen doesnt have no skilled workforce
we thrive on commerce and business
take a hint Brownsville
it cost to much to train and maintain skilled labor
you need investors and leaders with hind sight
McAllen is a shithole but they use a lot of fabreze and candles
"I has a dream" that a traffic light was after me
"I had a dream" I couldn't go downtown because there are a lot of crosswalks!!!
"I has a dream" I dreamed I was on a bike and hike trail HORRABLE!!!
I didn't know million dollar checks are that big.
you need 16 people to carry one?
What a bogus event! About all the port will hire is a bunch of undocumented immigrants with false papers. Remember the scam that a front company pulled a few years back with providing fake papers to the port workers?? Same song, second verse.
Note that the picture includes the Workforce Cameron’s guru and Trump Man, Pat Hobbs. I’m amazed he has survived so many scandals at TSC, TSTC, and now at workforce while spending most of his days playing golf. I wonder if he lies about his golf handicap like his friend Orange Man Donnie?
But it is true ask the Jackass Jason Hilts and Gilbert Salinas they are masters in the scam game, and Lazoya is catching on fast. The BEDC and GIBC should be invesagted before they scam another Million dollars for a Columbian whore.
This is terrible. The most POORLY written press release I've ever seen.
I'm giving this to my little brother to edit (he's taking a state assessment tomorrow).
Who writes this stuff? Who edits?
Come on Brownsville we deserve (and are paying) for better then this!
Elected leaders our city deserves better.
Estos pinche gringos se esconden por donde quiera they suck up to the mexicans for handout-welfare, and they complain about immigrants and want to built a wall pinche gueyes
Another organization? How many does the city have and who pays them is the director making over 100k like the other acronym? Why does the city have planners, and the county? This really sucks. Bunch of cronyism organizations that's what the ALL are.
