These illegals are stealing our identity and birth right. Not only do they prey upon adults they watch and when children are born they steal theirs also. There they not only have name birth date, birthplace, mothers and fathers name. and in most instances grandparents names. The key to most identity security questions. Have you ever been asked your maiden name or birth date? And most people don't even have a clue until their credit is ruined. send all these Invaders back home.

I stopped buying Perdue, and Tyson chicken years ago. The only way to deal with Employers that hire illegals is to fine them so high that it is not worth hiring cheap help. Once the jobs are gone, the illegals will deport themselves. I noticed right after the American people shot down that stupid Amnesty bill the Republicans got the message, and began picking up the invaders, and fining the Employers. It is difficult to know the illegal is illegal if they have someones valid S S #.

The problem is that the SS office knows that they are using the wrong SS number. They tell the employer about it but also tell them they can't fire them for it. Then they refuse to give the information to any other agency. Your Government at work. ******es me off.

Why do Americans still buy from these people? These scumbags who hire these effing criminals need to beout of business. The ceo should get hit with a billy club once for every illegal he hired. That'll learn em.

Maybe Americans are still buying from these people because they have to eat and chicken is just about the most economical meat to feed their family. I live very close to where these plants were raided and they don't pay low wages. I can tell you for sure that a lot of people will not work in a chicken processing plant. Sorry to burst your bubble regarding wages and who wants to work but in this case it's true. Don't you think something should be done so an employer can fill these jobs? Maybe a real guess worker program where people come and work for a contracted time and then go home.

Actually they may not be 'scab' labor. They might be illegal, they might have fake ID, but they also might have a union card too. When I worked as an electrician in a meat packing plant a few years ago, when we were hired on at IBP, part of the first day was doing paperwork. During that time the Teamsters came in complete with a Mexican speaker with union cards. At no time did they tell those in Spanish that the filling out of the union cards was voluntary, they made it sound manditory. With Texas being a 'free state' (non-union), this was strange. So apparently the unions that work in food production like having illegals because they won't challange anything, they will just 'sign the paper'. Note the following:

We have a name brand chicken processing plant about 18 miles from me, where on 2 separate occasions during the winter while driving to or from their 'job' car loads of illegals lost control of their car (they had no Ohio valid license) and smashed into other drivers killing people, might be wrong but I think 3 people were killed. The paper said they MIGHT be deported, WTF???? might????? AND in court we had to provide interpreters. Just makes me SICK!!!

Bet if you check, they were at a 'union plant' and had 'union cards', too. So it is not just the employers that are exploting illegals, but the unions also.

Exploiting a union sound like an oxymoron to me.

What I meant was that the unions are exploiting the illegals also. Just for clarification.

A friend of mine recently told me this story. He works in a pork processing plant in northern Missouri and it's full of illegals, good wages are paid but the work is hard. He says the illegals are willing to work 7 days a weeks 10 hours a day. He says there are a group of orientals working there but they have spanish last name stenciled on their helmets, they don't speak english very well but they don't speak spanish at all.
