6 State Raid Catches Illegals

In one of the largest raids ever, Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) swept through the meat processing plants of Swift & Co., the second largest meat processing company in the world. In the 6 state raid, 1,282 arrested, including 1,217 on immigration charges and 65 on criminal charges such as identity theft. Swift employs 13,000 throughout its plants. The raids followed a 10-month investigation into illegal immigrants suspected of buying or stealing other people's identities to secure U.S. jobs. The scheme may have had hundreds of victims, officials said.

Immigration officials last month informed Swift that it would remove unauthorized workers on Dec. 4, but Swift asked a federal judge to prevent agents from conducting the raid, arguing it would cause "substantial and irreparable injury" to its business.

After a closed hearing, a judge on Thursday rejected Swift's request, clearing the way for Tuesday's raids at the plants in Greeley; Grand Island; Cactus, Texas; Hyrum, Utah; Marshalltown, Iowa; and Worthington, Minn.

In a written statement, President and CEO Sam Rovit said the company has never knowingly hired illegal workers and does not condone the practice. Swift uses a government pilot program to confirm whether Social Security numbers are valid.

We are glad to hear that ICE & the Department of Homeland Security are finally taking some initiative in cracking down on illegal aliens in the work force. This needs to continue in ever increasing raids. The 1,200 arrested represents 10% of Swift's employees! Swift covered itself by verifying Social Security numbers with a government program, but they cannot verify fraudulent SSN cards or other forms of ID.

Identity theft is a large problems & illegals have no qualms with stealing your identity to further embed themselves into American society. The pro-illegal alien crowd bemoans the fact that illegals are arrested, but they give a rats ass that somewhere there are victims of identity theft because of these illegals.

We applaud ICE for the raids & can't wait for more.

1 in 7 Mexican workers employed in the U.S

The Migration Policy Institute came out with a report stating that 1 in 7 Mexicans have left their country to work in the USA. That is 14% of the Mexican work force. There are more than 7 million workers from Mexico in the U.S. labor force - up 2 million from 6 years ago. Mexicans accounted for nearly 1/3 of the 22.6 million foreign-born workers in the US. Over 50% of those workers were in the service or construction occupations. 60% of Mexican workers did not complete high school.


The report did not distinguish between legal & illegal alien workers. However, considering there are between 11 - 20 million illegals in the country it seems fair to say that most of these workers are illegal. By the way, 10% of the population of Mexico is now living in the US.

Another report from the Migration Policy Institute shows that Mexican illegal immigration between 1990 & 2000 has shown dramatic increases in states that are not along the Mexican border.

Georgia: 571%
North Carolina: 692%
Colorado: 365%
Arkansas: 440 %
South Carolina: 414%
Tennessee: 411%
Alabama: 380%
Iowa: 380%
Wisconsin: 310%
Nebraska: 300%

Remember, this is illegal immigration.

The very large number of Mexican workers are competing for jobs with American citizens who are on the lower pay scale. Their willingness for work for less wages is effectively shutting out millions of American workers, as well as students who work part time or work summer jobs. Besides taking American jobs, as can be seen above, there is a rapid cultural shift in non-border states which prevents enough time for assimilation, adds to taxpayer burdens & crowds schools ill-equipped for the sudden influx.

It is beyond time for the Federal government to do something to stop this illegal invasion. The government has failed the American public.

Jail Inmates To Clean Up Desert Mess

Illegal Alien Trash Destroying Desert

In Arizona, Maricopa County's desert areas are littered with the debris & rubbish from illegal aliens. There are 15 large illegal campsites in the county that are used as waiting points or drop-off areas for illegals coming into the USA. They leave behind all manner of garbage. It has accumulated into literally tons of garbage & it is destroying the once pristine desert.

The county has come up with an innovative way of cleaning it all up. They are using county inmates to remove the garbage. The cost to taxpayers is nothing & the garbage bags & dump trucks used have been donated. 200 inmates will be used in the program. They will be given an extra bologna sandwich for their effort, said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, known as the toughest Sheriff in the country.

The scope of the debris & the physical damage & health risk that follows is documented in photos at this site
Desert Invasion. It is puzzling why environmental groups are so quiet about the damage done to the desert by the illegal aliens. Illegal aliens must somehow fit into their agenda. If a house was to go up in the desert they'd be all over the builder.
