Inability or unwillingness ???
One of the reasons I think the FEDS don't do this as often as they could is because it helps keep the Social Security Ponzi Scheme afloat.
It would be nICE if ICE went after ALL the Violent Gang Member Illegal Immigrants First...p>
HAHAHAHA Swift never condoned the hiring...
but we admit it a little peculiar that not one of our employees speaks any recognizable language, while willingly works for 2 bucks a day and on payday makes a beeline to the bus station for a ticket to all points south
----honesty in corporate America alert----
["Swift has never condoned the employment of unauthorized workers, nor have we ever knowingly hired such individuals," Swift & Co. President and CEO Sam Rovit said in a statement.]
Yeah right, Sam. Ignorance is not much of a defense.
6 Plants?
Which one is CEO Sam Rovit and why isn't he wearing hand-cuffs?
>>because it helps keep the Social Security Ponzi Scheme afloat
That's only going to work (if at all) until the demographics shift and the immigrants can vote to not pay for the gringo's retirements.
"When this is all over, we're still here taking care of our community and if I have a significant part of my population that's fearful and won't call us then that's not good for our community," he said.
Does this PC idiot think the massive lawlessness this invasion of illegas brings to his town is "good for the community?"
There-in lies the problem.
Local police are protecting the illegals. Probably because of some quid pro quo with the meat packing business owners.
I heard a report on Fox this morning that the Swift company was following all of the guidelines the US government set on them after a fine a few years ago, including researching provided documentation.
And I heard (third hand) that if an illegal is using your ID, that it cannot be reported to you if found out. Really sucky government bureaucracy.
The unions wrecked the meatpacking industry, and now our love of cheap ground beef had led to illegals working here.
Bullsh!t.
That doesn't even begin to pass the smell test.
Book 'em, Danno!
These were good, high paying jobs occupied by Americans at one time. A guy could raise a family on one of these jobs.
With a border that was protected, albeit somewhat more that it is now all these other layers of employees would not be needed and the taxes usurped to support them.
But hey, unions are good for illegals, cops, politicians, but bad for national security and taxpayers.
elp for those affected by raid
update: Fuerza Latina has a help line available to families left behind in the ICE raid. The group has bilingual volunteers that will help locate family members and get info about bonds, attorneys, etc. It will also collect info about handling of the raid. Contact Fuerza Latina at (970) 472-1501. Callers should leave a message and volunteer will return their call.
Nice....let's DEFINITELY allow the prince in the beige jacket stay!
Make that on the gubmint side and not the illegals side. I attempted to articulate and failed to point out that if the job of border security was done correctly in the first place we wouldn't need a 2nd tier to fix it, with more gubmint employees, unions, yadda yadda.
"The rise in illegal border-crossing by Mexican 'wetbacks' to a current rate of more than 1,000,000 cases a year has been accompanied by a curious relaxation in ethical standards extending all the way from the farmer-exploiters of this contraband labor to the highest levels of the Federal Government."
