So, this happened this week
(Reuters) – U.S. agents have arrested 160 employees of a trailer manufacturing plant in north Texas who they said violated immigration laws and were working illegally in the United States.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement said late Tuesday its agents raided a plant owned by Load Trail in Sumner, about 110 miles (180 km) northeast of Dallas.
“Businesses that knowingly hire illegal aliens create an unfair advantage,†Katrina Berger, an agent for ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations unit, said in a statement.
No charges have been filed yet, but, as I’ve stated many, many times, companies that knowingly hire illegal aliens should have the book thrown at them as a way of discouraging others from hiring illegals. Anyhow, then we get this idiocy
Immigrants who witnessed immigration raid speak out
Today, people who were arrested or had family members arrested during the immigration raid yesterday finally spoke out. (at least they didn’t say they were “breaking their silence.” That one is plain stupid)
One woman, undocumented, who didn’t want her identity revealed said she was one of five women arrested during yesterdays raid.
All five were set free since they have young children, and nobody to care for them.
She said, “we were very scared since nobody knew what was happening, nobody imagined this would happen, so long working at the plant and we’ve never seen anything like that”
After hearing about Tuesday’s raid attorneys from all over Texas showed up at the Iglesia Evangelica Filadelfia church in Paris to provide free legal counseling to those who were affected.
First, this wouldn’t be a problem if they weren’t unlawfully present in the United States. Second, why is the media publishing pieces that are sympathetic to those who are breaking our laws and violating our sovereignty? That one’s more rhetorical. We know why.
Weird that neither ‘source’ mentions that this business was targeted because they got information that they were employing people who used false identification papers. In other words, identity thieves.
Why, besides ‘free speech’? How about ‘human decency’? ‘Empathy’?
Not all Americans agree with tRump’s strategy against immigrants. We get it, tRump is using your disdain of Muslims, Mexicans, Hispanics, NFL players, LeBron, immigrants, Native Americans, Puerto Ricans to fuel his rise.
Jeff,
Your idea of empathy and decency are very off the mark. Your policies actually harm US citizens to benefit illegals. Then you claim a moral high ground by telling others they are bigots when you have no evidence to support the statement. Yet, you are the bigot and racist.
I hope ICE goes hard after after the people that supply them with fake identity cards and stolen SSNs.
“Not all Americans agree with Trump’s strategy against immigrants.†That would be Trump’s strategy against illegal immigrants, but you knew that.
