im NOT moving to Omaha Rob. this corporation should be shut down for hiring all these muslims. do you think for one second, that if 500 christians walked off a job in saudia arabia, that theyd only loose their jobs? hardly. i do feel freedom of religion is a very important basis for any government. but only to those religions who feel like that very same government does. |

Immigration agents raid six Swift meat plants
Updated 12/12/2006 1:33 PM ET
By Kim Nguyen, Associated Press
GREELEY, Colo. — Federal agents raided meat processing plants in six states Tuesday and arrested an unknown number of suspected illegal immigrants in an identity theft investigation.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said the workers were arrested on administrative immigration violations and, in some cases, existing criminal arrest warrants.
ICE chief Julie L. Myers told reporters in Washington that agents had uncovered a scheme in which illegal immigrants and others had stolen or bought the identities and Social Security numbers of possibly hundreds of lawful U.S. residents to get jobs with Greeley-based meat processor, Swift & Co.
Six Swift processing plants were raided Tuesday, in Greeley; Grand Island, Neb.; Cactus, Texas; Hyrum, Utah; Marshalltown, Iowa; and Worthington, Minn.
"Swift has never condoned the employment of unauthorized workers, nor have we ever knowingly hired such individuals," Swift President and CEO Sam Rovit said in a written statement.
In Greeley, cars lined the street leading to the plant as family members stood outside. One person held a sign that said, "Presents! No tears at Christmas!"
A sheriff's deputy described the scene outside a meatpacking plant in Hyrum, Utah: "They've got three buses, a bunch of transport vans, a lot of cars and 150 or so agents," chief Cache County deputy David Bennett said Tuesday.
Bennett said ICE officials didn't notify the sheriff's department about the raid.
"They didn't ask for our help," Bennett said. "We were lucky to find out."
Swift escribes itself as an $8 billion business and the world's second-largest meat processing company. In Hyrum, where city Administrator Brent Jensen says the plant employs more than 1,000 workers, the company can process up to 2,200 cattle a day, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
Myers said immigration officials were "looking very aggressively" at who may have sold the identities to the workers. She said ICE had uncovered several rings that may have provided illegal documents.
Some immigrants targeted had genuine U.S. birth certificates and others had other kinds of false identification, Myers said.
"The significance is that we're serious about work site enforcement and that those who steal identities of U.S. citizens will not escape enforcement," Myers said
ICE officials at the plants in Greeley and Worthington, Minn., said the total number of arrests might not be released until Wednesday, when a news conference was scheduled in Washington.
"We have been investigating a large identity theft scheme that has victimized many U.S. citizens and lawful residents," said ICE spokeswoman Barbara Gonzalez at the plant in Greeley.
Gonzalez said federal agents worked closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to try to minimize disruption at the plants while carrying out the search warrants.

Bush-McCain were trying to preserve those jobs for Americans, Latin Americans who wanted the jobs. Thanks to conservatives, the only people willing and able to take the jobs are Asians because that gives them free air fare into the US where they can eventually slip away into the US economy.

My point is that 500 is a lot of one minority to be working at one place. If there were 2000 employees that means that somehow 25% of the workforce managed to be members of a very small minority religion, especially in the Midwest, Now, if its 20,000 at that plant that narrows it down somewhat. So, what percentage of the workforce is Fundalmentalist Muslim and if its a very high number why?

Face it, the US corporation, Swift, the ran the plant did so with sweatshop labor practices, using illegal immigrants from Latin America. When they got shut down by conservatives, Swift sold the sweatshop to a Latin American shell company to hide their sweatshop, in the expectations that the Brazilian shell would figure out how to get illegal immigrants in legally. The efforts to employ American skid row bums and homeless failed, because these people would rather sleep in dumpsters than work for an American meat packer. They couldn't figure out how to get Mexicans into the US with fake IDs so they have now started trolling Asia where they can bring in immigrants because the Bush administration doesn't care about them.
