But it won't be over for Tyson/IBP at that point. There are still class action lawsuits that can be brought under RICO statutes. The affected former citizen employees can file suit for their own damages. Anyone employed within the last 4 years is eligible. The damages there could go even higher. The Tyson lawyers may be looking at a decade in court.
And finally, this is a bust-up-the-line, similar to the way the government goes after drug kingpins. They don't care about little guys like these hiring managers. They want Mr. Don "I like Beel Cleenton" Tyson himself. Don Smaltz, the Special Prosecutor who looked at Tyson and Mike Espy was outraged by what he found, but was only able to get Espy on a low charge which I think was dropped when he resigned (can't remember the exact disposition).
I would bet that every federal attorney is aware of what Smaltz found with this company, and they are chomping at the bit to get at them.
If they get some sham guest worker program through, the same thing will happen to blue-collar workers, what's left of them that has to high-tech programmers- they'll be displaced for cheaper labor legally even more than what's going on now with illegal aliens.
Exactly where does Congress think all these unemployed Americans are going to find work? If the Republicans go along with it, they can kiss their majority goodbye.
