ICE is nothing but bigoted, racist, nativists!! There’s no such thing as an ILLEGAL person!!! We all belong to the human race!!! Undocumented workers don’t hurt anyone (pay no attention to that meth lab in the corner!) and they’re doing the jobs American won’t do!!!! [repeat ad nauseum]

/sarc

Good for ICE! Now git to work on all the rest of the lawbreakers around the country!!

Meat is “suffering on a plate.”

lol. never heard that before.

These executives should be doing hard time.

If we are going to pay through the nose for the product because of these raids, how bout giving some inner city AMERICAN kids these jobs at a much better wages?

People should stop eating meat. Meat is “suffering on a plate.”

You got creepy meat. Mine just sits there, inanimate.

Owners and operators should have been arrested for hiring of known illegals.

Exactly, but it never seems to happen.

[Regulator]

crime peaked out in the early 1990s

Could we say that if the crime of illegal immigration was included?

If we did, there would be millions and millions of new crimes to count which currently are not, and also go unprosecuted.

Invasion is not a civil right, no matter how much La Raza Unida wants it to be.

Thank you Alouette.

I’m going to suffer now that I won’t have meat on my plate.

" Owners and operators should have been arrested for hiring of known illegals "
That place was a criminal enterprise

Now they need to use the RICO law to go after Agriprocessors Inc, its board, and its executives confiscating ALL their assets and jailing the top 4 or 5 perps in a tough federal prison.

And that, right there, is how you solve the illegal immigrant problem. No worky, no comey.

Read the following and see what they all have in common.

It is interesting how the unions are supporting illegal immigrants, isn’t it?

"Rosa Maria DeFindlay, 72, of Cedar Falls, holds a sign to show her displeasure for ICE, or Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as she leaves a parking lot across from the National Cattle Congress grounds in Waterloo this afternoon, Monday, May 12, 2008. Immigrants arrested at Agriprocessors, Inc., in Postville, were en route to the site."

According to one article in the DM Reg, they were being investigated for child labor law violations and had seized records from the local school district.

It looks like it will be upwards of 700. That’s almost 30% of the population of the town. The town’s web site has a link to the Babelfish translator site. That’s no surprise. Vilsack is to blame for not encouraging Iowans to move to areas that need workers but closing his eyes to illegals, and Culver just thinks illegals are good for the economy. Screw them both. If illegals hadn’t come, Iowans would be making higher wages. I know, all you guys are going to point out the IBP vs unions, but it’s better to pay Americans higher wages than to bring in illegals.

I like mine rare. Sometimes it twitches a little. The best sashimi comes on the boned fish with the fins still swimming. YUM!!
