Excellent. A few hundred more of these raids and we might get somewhere. All we need is the will to stand up to the idiot liberals.
Smithfield should be shut down. Completely. Every member of HR thrown in jail.
If they are legal what is the risk?
If they are criminal invaders their arrest should be certain, not a risk.
Provide the criminal invaders free air flights home.
Production at the plant was substantially diminished Thursday as workers stayed away.
So, they hire so many illegal aliens that production is diminished when they all stay home so they’re not arrested and deported?
“There are hundreds of immigrant families who will have to decide, ‘Do I show up to work (Friday) and risk being arrested by immigration?’” said Eduardo Pena, a spokesman for the union
How do you get to become one of the union if you’re not even a legal resident?
“They’re very concerned about how they’ll live,” Salazar said.
Let them go back, with their working family, to the country of origin.
Not attending work is common in the region, he said.
There’s that illegal work ethic. You betcha.
When that percentage of the employees are illegal, it is hard to believe that that is not in their business plan.
What this guy want, armed resistance by Smithfield management?
Immigrant workers need fear nothing, but ILLEGAL ALEINS, on the other hand...
ICE should set up a hotline for all of these workers' families who are so worried about where they are. Then reunite them with their families and deport the lot of 'em!

I think he's trying to make the case that Smithfield obeying Federal law is equivalent to the beatings miners got in WVa back at the turn of the 20th Century.
He IS a mouthpiece, after all, so one only expects drivel to emerge. Sad to see this kind of distortion this fast being treated this seriously by alleged adult reporters. These people should, of course, know better (likely they do) but the problem is getting wrapped around both the Catholic angle AND the poor angle, not to mention that these are 'persons of color'. Rather a bonanza for the hypocritical leftist press, wouldn't you say?
The good news of the day.
If you're concerned about illegal immigration, go to Tom Tancredo's website. I think it's teamtancredo.com. He is tough on illegal immigration, and he is considering running for president in 2008. But he needs people to sign a petition requesting him to run. I signed today and hope many others sign on. Check it out.
Current price of a one-way ticket from Atlanta to Mexico City: $422.
The look on the face of the HR Manager when presented with an indictment: Priceless.
TS. If I were in Mexico illegally you can bet I would go in fear of law enforcement.
What's increasingly bugging me is reporters who simply write down whatever nonsense some spokesbeing utters and don't ask probing questions, such as, "What duty does Smithfield have to prevent its workers from being arrested by federal authorities?" If this is the current standard of journalism, newspapers and TV stations should just fire their reporters and let people submit the news via a web page.
Executives of companies hiring lawbreakers should also be arrested, put on trial and if guilty, imprisoned. The illegals they have hired should be sent back to their home country.
