The headline conveniently leaves out the word "Illegal".

Oh my gosh!
I'm sitting here with a tear rolling down my cheek.
NOT!
Lock 'em all up, process 'em, then send 'em back to their turd world sewer.
I could care less.
Or I could not care less.
Whichever one it is.
I can never remember.

I don't know much about the employment of illegal aliens but could these owners have not known they were illegals after seven years of employment? If they did know they were illegals, how do the owners escape prosecution?

“The farmers have got their view, but they’re shortsighted — they’re not looking at the country as a whole,” said Mr. Woodhams, who notes that he is a registered Democrat and the son of a Dutch immigrant farmer. “Isn't this the same area of New York where nearby cities such as Jamestown and Rochester have double digit unemployment and entire neighborhoods who sit around waiting for their next government check?

Oh they knew all right.Too bad the story didn't reveal how much the farmers were paying these Mexicans.Probably less than half of the prevailing wage.

Isn't that where they used to make rolls of stuff that went into ancient cameras?

LOL! That sez it all.
Any business, agriculture or other, should be confiscated for employing illegal aliens, same as vehicles found with drugs on board are.

“It serves as a polarizing force in communities,” said Mary Jo Dudley, who directs the Cornell Farmworker Program, which does research. “The immigrant workers themselves see anyone as a potential enemy. The growers are nervous about everyone. There’s this environment of fear and mistrust all across the board.”

And if it costs us consumers a bit more, it is still a hell of a lot less than the indirect cost of the welfare and ER medical care we're all paying for.
Send 'em home -- with weapons and a few bandoleers of ammo so they can clean up their own nation.
Just like we did over 240 years ago.

The article indicates that the federal prosecutors tried to get the illegals to testify against their employers, but that the illegals chose deportation rather than a plea bargain with testimony.
To: DeaconBenjamin2
Immigration and Customs Enforcement had been waiting for the workers in their driveway at dawn with state troopers, and had whisked them to the 450-bed detention center Good.
I hope they keep it up.
