Betcha a nickel these illegals were on welfare as well...and food stamps...and whatever else they could get their hands on.
So your “solution” is to allow whoever can manage to sneak over, crawl under, or swim across the border and break NUMEROUS laws, including committing several felonies by presenting false documents go free while people who want to play by th rules have to wait for years for and immigration visa?
“Tax dollars at work, raiding productive American businesses, and disrupting communities and families...”
To knowingly allow illegal aliens to live and work in a community, says what about the community and the knowlegeable law enforcement departments???
Sniff...hand me a tissue. I see 595 cases of identity theft and fraud to be prosecuted. Nice "productive" business you got there.
Taken to Jena? When is Sharpton going to be there for a protest against their treatment?
Website works fine now.
This is very good news!! That large of a number equates to a heck of a lot of American jobs. I’m sure the unemployed in the local community will be happy they are gone. Just think about all the gas that will be saved from them not driving around any more; all of the ‘free services’ that MS taxpayers won’t have to pay any longer. Fantastic job, ICE!
595 illegals is about 15 minutes of cross border illegal entrants.
In the time it took the ICE PR flacks to write the press release, more illegals entered the country than were apprehended in this raid.
Another reason this country needs a guest worker program. What a terrible waste of resources for everyone involved.

There's already at least seven of them, and each one with a history of fraud and abuse, most notably the H-1bs that have been used to displace Americans from high-paying jobs for years. I can see the same thing happening with a new one that allows all the illegals to stay. Not only will wages shrink but middle class Americans will be shoved out left and right to make room for the more compliant labor.
Guest workers will never be as cheap as illegal workers. More guest workers is nothing more than an incentive to import more cheaper illegals.
So, not only is this company hiring illegals, they would seem to be in violation of child labor laws too.
The answer to me seems so simple: just enforce the law to keep the system legitimate but even the slightest enforcement and we get nothing but whining about breaking up families etc. And no matter who wins it's not going to get any better.
This being Laurel, MS, means that these illegals are displacing African American workers in one of the poorest states in America.
A big "thank you" to your nephew for his service to our country!!
