Recently, federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 119 people in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, including a 14-year-old girl. The raid was triggered after a former worker at Petit Jean Poultry said she supplied others with fake identification cards. Most of the 119 arrested workers were deported without warning and more than 30 children were left behind in the Arkadelphia area. Most of the illegals were from Mexico.
Rather than demand an investigation of the company as to how 119 employees of Petit Jean Poultry turned out to be in the country illegally, the leaders of Arkansas and some Hispanic activist groups are angry at the federal agents who made the successful arrest. Apparently the federal agents were required to tell the local authorities and that failing to do so has caused harm to the children. Anyone of the 119 could have been a drug smuggler, a child rapist, a cop killer, or even a terrorist, but none of that matters to the illegal immigrant crowd. It appears child labor is of no concern to them either. Are the federal agents supposed to feel ashamed for splitting families and taking away the jobs of poor minorities? Are the people of Arkansas supposed to be outraged at the federal agents who enforced immigration and child labor laws?
It turns out the federal agents asked those arrested if they had children and that all of the detainees said they did not have children. Temple Black, a spokesman for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, later said some of the detainees said they had children who were being cared for by relatives. So it was the illegals that split their families, not the US.
Regarding the jobs, just who is responsible for the unemployment rate in Mexico? It’s got to be somebody other Mexico. Is it China, Vietnam, Japan, the Klingon Empire, Germany, the Wraith, etc.? What about health care, education, housing, etc. Joyce Elliot and many bleeding hearts of Little Rock believe that Arkansas is responsible for the education of Mexican children. So what does the Mexican “Government” do for its people? Mexican Senators earned over $200,000 (US) in 2004. In 2003, state representatives in the Chamber of Deputies of Sonora, Mexico, raised their monthly salaries to $98,291.00. And let’s not forget El Presidente Fox, who got $306,000.00 per annum in 2003. That’s a lot of money to sit on your butt and whine at the US to do your job! Mexico has over 40 million people living in poverty, but it’s “leaders” seem to be doing fine, just like a dictatorship or communist regime. Guess how much the Mexican government has given to help the 30 stranded children so far? No wonder these parents left their children.
Hispanic activist love to criticize the US when illegal immigrants are not treated better than legal immigrants and citizens. However, they don't care about these people when they're starving to death in their own corrupt nations. They only seem care about these people when their poverty can be blamed on the US. Of course they want you to ignore Petit Jean Poultry and the other US sweat shops and they definitely want you to ignore the corrupt regimes that are responsible for the suffering of millions of Hispanics. When you hear about Hispanics in poverty, who do you blame?

Not to worry. The "abandoned" kids are merely holding down the fort until their parents get back across next week.
Interesting, the article mentions OTMs (Other Than Mexicans) but doesn't say where they're from. Any ME'ers in the group?
That right? That’s not the company’s duty or purpose – that’s the federal government’s purpose (border security).
The company has certain responsibilities. They include an application in which the potential employee is asked their status, DL#, SSN, etc. If they provide false ID, there is NO way for the employer or federal/state government to detect it. SSNs are NOT unique and haven’t been for over 25 years. Nor are legitimate, but fraudulently obtained, DL's, etc. That’s just one problem.
The other problem is that one Navy base in San Diego and another (Army?) base in the northeast were both popped for hiring contractors that in turn hired illegals that were working on base.
Until Gutless Wonder (and his ENTIRE administration) is in prison for “hiring” illegals there should be NOONE in private business held to a higher standard.
Walk the walk. Gutless has to go. Start the movement.
Another article ID's them from central american countries.
Arkansas ping
BS! I guarantee those children are with other relatives who are here ILLEGALLY and doing just fine. I don't blame federal agents for not telling "local authorities" because they have big mouths who take care of their "FRIENDS" like the TYSONS who are hiring these ILLEGALS (as if they didn't know they were ILLEGAL with phony identities they probably helped them buy from other ILLEGALS who stole the identity of some poor unknowing soul).
The companies hiring these ILLEGALS should have to pay the expenses of the raid and take care of the children until they are deported along with their parents since they are the ones benefiting by having ILLEGALS in the first place.
If the whiny *ss liberals are so worried about it they should take THEIR MONEY and take care of these ILLEGALS and their children and leave my money alone!
Shouldn't that be "yearly"?
No cheers, unfortunately.
