Since 1997, Swift has been using a government pilot program to confirms whether Social Security numbers are valid. Company officials have previously said one shortcoming may be the program's inability to detect when two people are using the same number.

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.

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?

At Grand Island, Police Chief Steve Lamken said he refused to let his officers take part in the raid.

"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.

The unions wrecked the meatpacking industry, and now our love of cheap ground beef had led to illegals working here.

These were good, high paying jobs occupied by Americans at one time. A guy could raise a family on one of these jobs.

Just another example of our self-perpetuating gubmint dependency.

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.

"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."

- paraphrased from a report in The New York Times by General Dwight D. Eisenhower prior to his Presidency

Bennett said ICE officials didn't notify the sheriff's department about the raid. "They didn't ask for our help," he said. "We were lucky to find out."

Sounds like ICE doesn't trust the sheriff's department not to spill the beans on the date. Probably sensible.

It's kind of funny to me that Swift in Greeley has been advertising for employees on the radio rather heavily the last two weeks. First time I have ever heard an ad for jobs at Swift. Now this.
