"That last statement is a laugher, how can they complain to the courts that these raids will hurt their business if they don't knowingly hire illegals? They complained about the raids because they know their workforce is made up in large part by illegals. The CEO and the rest of the leadership of Swift need to pay steep fines and spend time being Bubba's girlfriend in prision. Until the Govt makes an example of these traitors, this crap will keep on happening. Swift is lying through their teeth, and everyone knows it, but they will continue to be allowed to play this deadly game."
You're right on the money. The government sure made an example of Enron, why not these guys at Swift? Aren't they causing damage and pain and suffering to Americans by their deceptive business practices? How much money is lost to those people who had their identities stolen by these illegals? This just infuriates me!
Funny you should mention Enron. Swift is owned by a company that has extensive interest in (among other things) energy.
If the feds were serious about this, raids would be conducted so often that they would no longer be front page news. Targets would be the largest employers of illegals in food processing, construction and other industries. Fines would be just this side of extreme and executive imprisonments would be lengthy and commonplace.
In sum, we would eventually get our country back but at the price of short- to intermediate-range economic downturn and loss of investor confidence. It would take statesmen to make such a choice and unfortuntely we don't have any, just short-sighted, main chance politicians.
Solutions to all this will have to come from "we, the people," not government.
