The strategy is to cudgel business interests who aren't supporting the President's amnesty/open-borders plan, into falling into line by making present law an expensive concern.
Business is the "audience" the Administration works to please. Right now, the immigrant-importing, wage-breaking interests are disciplining the rest of the business community to get on board with The Program and help b*tch-slap the citizenry into accepting (effectively) unlimited immigration.
As Seven of Nine once said, "You will comply."
Small wonder why that happened. Between hiring illegals and no doubt paying them less than the going wage, child labor law violations, and environmental violations detailed in the article, it is small wonder that this firm has been able to outperform its competitors. What of their rights?
Maybe the Bush administration has no political iron in this fire except a general directive from the president to finally enforce our laws and the ICE is understandably focusing on an egregious violator.
Doesn't make sense to me- do you really think a business that hires this many illegals is not already a supporter of open borders? I think these raids are being done so when the politicians bring up amnesty again they can point to all they have done to solve the problem. I think it is theatre for the rest of us; to convince us that something is being done about the illegals.
