The raid happened at the Columbia Farms plant on Rutherford Road around 9 a.m.

According to U.S. Attorney Walter Wilkins, the raid was part of a 10-month-long investigation into illegal immigrants who work at the plant.

We have a processing plant that has been hiring illegals for years. I hope they come 50 miles East of Greenville and clean house.

The raid took place during a shift change. Immigration officials kept the workers inside the House of Raeford’s Columbia Farms plant and spent most of the morning trying to interview them and figure out exactly how many are in the U.S. illegally, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin McDonald said.

The number could be large. A recent review found that immigration paperwork for more than 775 of 825 workers contained false information, McDonald said.

That’s it chickens are now coming into the US from Mexico to get better jobs?

Build a chicken wire fence to stop this now.

Plucking the chickens Americans just won’t pluck.

Ok, I'll bite.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To do the jobs the turkeys didn't want to do!

Yeah, and as the the number of available jobs continues to shrink due to the economic downturn, we might just see some repatriations conducted by citizens who are competing with these illegal aliens for jobs.

We were at the Big Fresno Fair (no there's not a little one) the other day and were looking at the prize roosters. Some ethnic types were right behind us and one of them said something about whether the roosters could fight well or not.

We were told that family values didn't stop at the border but maybe some other basic moral stances do.
