Overhill Farms, a major food-processing plant in the L.A. area, terminates more than 200 employees after an IRS audit finds that they had provided 'invalid or fraudulent' Social Security numbers.
No immigration agents descended on Overhill Farms, a major food-processing plant in Vernon. No one was arrested or deported. There were no frantic scenes of desperate workers fleeing la migra through the gritty streets of the industrial suburb southeast of downtown Los Angeles.
For more than 200 Overhill workers, however, the effect was devastating: All lost steady jobs last month and now find themselves in a precarious employment market, without severance pay or medical insurance. It wasn't a hot tip or an undercover informant that helped seal their fates, but a computer check of Social Security numbers.
"A desktop raid" is how the workers' representative, John M. Grant, vice president of Local 770 of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, described the scenario.
Overhill, a $200-million-a-year company that provides frozen meals for clients such as American Airlines, Panda Express, Safeway and Jenny Craig, says it had no choice: An Internal Revenue Service audit found that 260 workers had provided "invalid or fraudulent" Social Security numbers. The government took no action against the workers. But Overhill did: All of the employees were fired May 31.

Send his little ass back too.....anchor baby....
I agree with you about the LA Times. There is no acknowledgment, no respect for the laws of our country, nor for the people who obey the laws.

You mean someone actually believed that?
That’s essentially the leftist position these days. There’s no respect for the law or the people who chose to abide by it.
The LA Times is thus just adhering to the leftist policy.
Are there any leftist who give a darn whether Obama is a citizen or not? Of course not. They accept that he is rather than question it themselves. The idea their conscience should be engaged on any subject related to Democrat’s is null and void.
Thanks for the note of agreement.
Boo. Hoo.
I have a question.
If these numbers were invalid or fraudulent, that means there is no real, legal person to credit with the “contribution.”
What did the gov’t do with the money they were sent ?
I bet they didn’t refund it.

You Betcha!
And I'll bet the company is just damned happy not to get the warranted fines to ask for their SS contribution back,
Since it doesn't appear that ICE is tracking these thieving aliens down, it's a nice shake down by the gov. for very little effort which they can they repeat as necessary when the thieving aliens find work elsewhere,
It’s frightening that the IRS could make so many mistakes. /s
Good luck in your future endeavors.
Not that it will happen, but these people will really be in a world of hurt if the company’s medical insurance provider(s) decided that the claims they’d made using fake ID were fraudulent, therefore they are liable for payments made on their behalf.
