The problem is that there is no official verification system nor is there a law requiring it.

Not because verification programs haven't been available but because congressmen and senators have voted against requiring them to be used.

What was the punishment of the OWNERS of the company ?

They have to deal with the union now.

When the raid went down I commented that those jobs were taken from African American workers. Look at the picture with the article. Those workers will now have jobs.

And if this was a business with large amounts of cash coming in over the counter, the business would expect somebody else to be responsible when the cash drawer was full of counterfeit $50 and $100 bills.

She said her husband, who has been living in the United States for 10 years and working on an immigration case for six, was on the verge of achieving permanent residency.

I guess that nobody told them that these are the jobs that Americans won’t do.

Those workers will now have jobs.

And hopefully at legal, legitimate wages. The company wasn't just abusing illegal immigrants, it was under-cutting competition and endangering businesses that operated legally at a greater expense.

I've been reading a lot about unions busting these kinds of companies bringing in illegals. If the unions want to "remake their image", this is a great tactic for them.

287(g) causing illegal immigrants to leave county

[snip]ALAMANCE COUNTY Commissioner Tim Sutton, a staunch supporter of the 287(g) program and opponent of illegal immigration, sees the deterrent effect the implementation of the program is having as a bonus.

“I honestly believe that when we signed the agreement ... I don’t think we realized the magnitude of what was going on, especially in the driving offenses,” he said.

But, he said, “If every illegal alien in our county leaves as a result of tough enforcement, I have no problem with that.” He added, “If they are leaving because they are scared of being here illegally, so be it. I don’t have a single reservation about what we are doing.”

He said it’s “ludicrous” for people to think that police should not arrest drivers who don’t have an identification, proper license or car insurance. “What do you expect us to do? ... Write a ticket and expect them to go to court?”

He continued, “A statistic that we don’t know and can’t put our hands on is the statistic of what (wrongdoings) we’ve prevented” with these arrests.
