DODGE CITY, Kan. - Frightened by raids last year at six Swift & Co. plants, illegal immigrants in the nation's meatpacking towns are preparing for their possible arrest.

For years, immigrant rights groups had been confident the meatpacking giants were so powerful immigration agents would never raid them. But since the Dec. 12 sweeps at Swift plants in six states, immigrant advocacy groups have been holding workshops, teaching undocumented workers how to prepare for their arrests by doing such things as drawing up legal documents so someone could care for their children and handle their financial affairs.

As well they should.

We could call them something else but then we’d get sent to rehab.

Those who violate the laws of the USA, should be afraid, very afraid of getting caught. If they are so concerned about their children, then why in the hell would an illegal violate the laws of the US, and put their children in that kind of a position?

Good! Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.
The law enforcers are coming! And they mean to enforce the law on the lawbreakers!

Things would really be so much easier if illegal aliens were motivated to return home, or to turn themselves in and try to become citizens the legal way.

I was in Dodge City last summer. It was an eye opener. There are more signs in Spanish than English, and I felt like a foreigner.

[darkangel82]

The illegals need to get out of Dodge lol.

[Lizavetta]

Has anyone ever seen any article posted anywhere at any time in any universe regarding any other lawbreaker fearing arrest???

Why are they portrayed with so much more sympathy?

Don't answer - I already know why.

Tis enough to make one stop eating beef. I smell the ACLU somewhere in this story.

It would be better if the employers were afraid of the raids, maybe they wouldn't have so many illegal employees.

The advocacy groups could do the criminal aliens a real favor and tell them the best way to go home where they belong.

Criminal aliens OUTTA MY COUNTRY!!!!!!

If we had an attorney general that was better than reno, it would be the owners of these plant that would fear arrest.

Read: they were confident that Tyson and others were doing all the payoffs needed.

If we had a President who cared about upholding his Constitutional oath, we might not be in this mess. (And I voted for him twice.)

“Undocumented meat packers.” Is that the politically correct term for gay illegal aliens?
