Raided Plant Owners ‘Willfully’ Used Undocumented Workers
Huffpost ^ | 8/9/19 | Jeff Amy

Six of seven Mississippi chicken processing plants raided Wednesday were “willfully and unlawfully” employing people who lacked authorization to work in the United States, including workers wearing electronic monitoring bracelets at work for previous immigration violations, according to unsealed court documents.

Federal investigators behind the biggest immigration raid in a decade relied on confidential informants inside the plants in addition to data from the monitoring bracelets to help make their case, according to the documents.

The question should be why weren't the management of the processing plants in cuffs on their way to jail the day of the raid? And why aren't senior management of the corporations following them? The simple fact is that without jobs then illegals would have no reason to be here and those who turn a blind eye to hiring them are a bigger part of the problem than the illegals themselves.

This is an election-winner for Trump. Besides being the right thing to do. Say hello to lots of black and (legal) Hispanic families voting for Trump in 2020.

It could be. But instead, crickets. Vocal support from the President on the raid but absolutely nothing on those who hired the.

The fines for employing illegal aliens should be enormous.
The fines for renting or selling real estate to illegal aliens should be enormous.
The fines for providing government services to illegal aliens should be enormous.

Amen

what is going to be done to follow up?
Deportations?
Corporate mass jailing of executives at all levels.
Taking over the business and literally shutting it down?

First you win the case on the illegals, THEN you charge the CEO and his cronies with the established criminal cases of the illegals that have been proven to be illegals

Charge, convict, and jail the CEOs and their cronies and then you won't need to win a case against the illegals.

IF we didn’t use illegal aliens to process food then ground beef would be $50 a pound, maybe more. /sarcasm

Back around 2005 or 2006, my company had a small manufacturing plant in Missouri that was raided by ICE on a Friday. Unfortunately word had leaked out and when ICE arrived, approx. 100 employees never showed up for work.

We had to send a couple people from our corporate offices here in Michigan to help the plant's HR dept. hire replacements......

The plant was completely autonomous from the rest of the corporation and I hadn't even heard of it before the event occurred.....

Funny how back when meat processing was a well-paid job that could support a whole family (without mom working), everyone could afford a lot MORE meat.

Penalties for hiring illegal aliens:

This does not include “harboring” illegal immigrants, or employing ten or more illegal immigrants in one year. Harboring an illegal immigrant can lead to ten years of prison time.

Additionally, employers should be aware of the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Employers can be sued under the act for hiring illegal immigrants, and can face large settlement deals.

If ICE were really serious about rounding up illegal employees, they would offer informants a percentage of the fines collected.

Half of the wetbacks were released the next day. 300, I believe. My bet is few end up being deported. The system is broken and there is no will in DC to fix it.

The simple fact is that without jobs then illegals would have no reason to be here . . .

That is no longer true. There is a cornucopia of welfare freebies waiting for illegal aliens who manage to cross the border.

They were once reserved for citizens and legal aliens only before we allowed judges to rule that illegal aliens have extraordinary rights.

The next raids I would like to see are welfare offices, section 8 housing and voter rolls.
