Sheriff called to stop scuffle at US job center
Text Size 
SHELBYVILLE, Tennessee - Sheriff Randall Boyce in Shelbyville, Tennessee, says he was called to a job center Monday to end scuffling between immigrants from different countries applying for jobs at a poultry plant.
Boyce says some applicants who had camped overnight were upset when new arrivals seemed to be cutting line.
He says language differences led to pushing and shoving, but no one was arrested, and all in a crowd of about 150 people got to apply for limited openings at a Tyson Foods plant.
The sheriff says most were applicants from Iraq and Sudan now living in Nashville, about 55 miles (88 kilometers) away, where immigrants from several nations have been resettled.
