Too bad we can’t “black list” Star Packaging.
I hope they do go out of business.
So tired of the success of business being based on the cheap labor prices of illegals.
And, yes they CAN be deported.
So when are they going to change the laws on employee ID so we can arrest employers of illegals?
This particular case they got the employer because the employer knew they were hiring illegals and the feds could prove it. That's almost never the case.
You better believe that other businesses in the area could care less about most of this story, but on this, they'll focus like a laser beam. Any time a company is raided and found to employ illegals, pressure companies to cease doing business with them. Tell family and friends. Since there is usually minimal penalties for companies that employ illegals, the most effective tool we have is in shutting down their customer path.
what about the other factories that this one forced out of business by hiring illegal workers?
Thats a great way to get back those customers who left because you were hiring illegals. Idiot
“City Manager Kevin Brunner estimates that up to 10 percent of his town’s 14,000 residents are Hispanic, a group whose population in the area has been growing rapidly in the last decade. Hispanics are employed in all kinds of occupations at all levels and have begun to open their own businesses, he said. “
Are they legal?
Life's a bitch...

If the BATFE was put in charge of immigration there would not be an illegal alien in sight within a few months. There would be none in the country within a year.
However, if ICE was in charge of the BATFE’s duties people would be able to get away with using dynamite to fish in public fountains and would be hunting at the zoo.
The Federal government knows this as well as the rest of us do, they just have an agenda. A disarmed NAU.
Thanks Jorge.
My heart bleeds. Hire Americans and legals only.
Dumb bitch see nothing wrong with her working slave labor and having the tax payer pick up their other cost. She needs to be locked up with her dad.
I support going after businesses that know or think they have hired illegal aliens.
At the same time, I also support going after government officials that do not enforce immigration laws.
I also support going after government organizations that provide services to illegal aliens, until they stop doing so.
I'm sick of these shameless criminal invaders dropping anchor babies, then using them as human shields against law enforcement!!!!
>>Not only should Allen Petrie spend the rest of his life in jail, all of his ill-gotten gains should be seized.<<
He deserves a fair trial, and presumption of innocence, but if convicted he has to face the music.
Close the criminal enterprise down.......why prolong the agony ?
“You notice that nobody is ever concerned about the comfort of the American citizen community? There is never a meeting with the REAL residents of the area...The Americans are never asked for their opinion or input...The ones paying for everything are never consulted...”
We noticed : )
The lawyers would have it shut down within hours.
Guns aren't the source of power in the civilized world anymore, the courts are. That's why we have an illegals problem, because employers can only rarely be held accountable for hiring illegals, like in the article above where the feds could prove the factory had knowledge of illegality.
The "amnesty" bill in congress would have fixed that, but now it won't. We have ensured the status quo is maintained, with an annual growth rate of the illegal population of a million or so.
The Democrats couldn't be happier. They know their long term survival in power is now assured.
The lawyers would have it shut down within hours.
Not if they were really interested in solving the problem which they are not.
The "amnesty" bill in congress would have fixed that, but now it won't.
Giving amnesty to 40 million criminal invaders is NOT the answer either.
I lived in Corpus Christi and Harlingen, TX for three years each. I had no trouble at all telling the illegal alien criminals from the Americans of Mexican descent and neither did my employer. If they are adults and speak no English then it is evident that further questioning is required. If someone could not be interviewed in English and fill out an employment application in English they simply were not hired. If they tried to pull the discrimination crap we would simply explain that they could not converse with the other employees or customers and were then thrown out on their ear.
the criminal case against owner Allen L. Petrie, who is accused of conspiracy to commit identity theft, is humming along.
Petrie, 48, is charged with six felonies for allegedly hiring workers he knew had false or stolen identities.
Two citizens who allegedly had their identity stolen by immigrants working at Star Packaging were children ages 10 and 16, according to court records.
To date, three of Petrie’s workers were charged with identity theft. Warrants remain outstanding for the arrest of Miguel Gomez, 24, and Andres Tizapa-Aparicio, 29, both of Whitewater, according to online court records.
Former employee Rafael Cortes Reyes, 30, of Whitewater, pleaded guilty May 17 to a single charge of identity theft. He will be sentenced Aug. 8 for using the Social Security number of a retired schoolteacher,
He purchased the number to gain employment and open a bank account.
Star Packaging lost its biggest client, Nestle, after the raid because the company was concerned about the adverse publicity related to alleged illegal immigrants working for Petrie.
