The raid today at Agriprocessors, Inc. meat packing plant targeted individuals who were using stolen Social Security numbers. Officials say at least 300 have been arrested but that the number could go as high as 700.

The raid was the largest of it's kind in Iowa according to Claude Arnold of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Are you a member of PETA?

I am definately a member of PETA.

No I am not, and would not become a PETA member.

Is that some kind of accusation because I looked at slaughterhouse videos?

[netmilsmom]

I would SAY!!!

Geez, did you go into any of the other links? The OK city bombing was done by Zionists!!!!!

I made it to the third picture and bailed out *shudder*

If you came to Ft Morgan Colorado you could do a lot better than that 700. We won’t even talk about Greeley Colorado.

Who made these videos? As I recall, no rabbis claimed Agri was negligent in kashrus, only PETA who couldn't care less about kashrus in any case.

If I can throw in one more thing from my warped little mind. One of the reasons our government doesn't enforce the borders is because illegals are paying the SS tax and it's being matched by the employers, but they can't be lined up with any legitimate SS account. Therefore, the government is getting FREE MONEY!!!!! (Picture the guy with the green jacket with the dollar signs on it).

Now, how long is it going to take some lawyer to file a class action lawsuit claiming that all former 'undocumented workers' who paid into SS with a false ID have a right to SS?

PETA isn’t the only group concerned about issues such as this. Personally, I don’t care who took the videos, I wouldn’t eat anything from this plant after seeing them.

I could point you to a number of sites that include interviews with people in the meat industry as well as rabbis and famous Jews who are incensed at the practices taped at Agriprocessors, but you’re a big girl, you look them up. I have a feeling you have another agenda going on here and I don’t want to get involved. No more with you on this topic.

they could find that many “subcontractors” on most major roofing companies in the Twin Cities.

One biggie that starts with an “S” comes to mind.

I'm not going to do your research for you, but I can tell you this: there was never any problem with the kashrus at Agri. As I recall, PETA was shaking down Agri to give a six-figure salary to their "animal rights specialist" Temple Grandin.

Darn it. They grabbed my wife, our seven kids, my three aunts and about 24 cousins. Now what will I do on Friday nights?

Go to Disneyland?

Let's hear the Dimwit Party support the identity theft of these criminals.

Woohoo, unemployment in Iowa is going down!

I.C.E. could raid virtually every meat processing plant in the United States and discover hundreds of illegals. Illegals have turned cities like Dodge City, Kansas, and Guymon, Oklahoma into third world cities. When the governor of Oklahoma toured a meat processing plant in Altus, OK, the management hid the illegals in an adjacent building. The government has not lived up to its constitutional duty to protect the borders. Illegals have become the modern form of slaves for agricultural corporations.

Darn straight. Those who hired ought to be fired, at the least.

I worked at Sterling Beef in Sterling,Colorado (on the kill floor) and was one of only a handful of (what I was led to believe) American citizens employed.

If you pay attention, you would see that there have been numerous such raids on plants in several states.

The administration sent in the National Guard and now the Governors are asking for the term set to expire soon to be renewed. Meanwhile the Border Patrol says it is up to speed and has been trained on the military equipment and methods and calls for the National Guard service to end.

Lengthy sets of statistics were cited indicating large reduction in crossing and drug smuggling while there were very large increases in arrests and returns. There have been big changes in the last two years.

We don’t have coddlers.

Wages went down to crap when they used illegals to break the union and they finnally closed the doors when ICE kept raiding the plant. Everything moved to Ft Morgan. Wages went from the $20.00 with benifits to maybe $11.00 after years on the floor. $20.00 was in the 1970s what does that tell ya about what illegals do to wages?
