This is a recap of a report of a study done by CIS (the Center for Immigration Studies). It reports on what has happened at Swift meat-packing plants since the "raids". If you want to read the full report you can find it at:

http://www.cis.org/articles/2009/back309.pdf

And the news is generally good. Wages are up some and working conditions are somewhat improved. It also reports that, if wages at the plants went up by a third, it would only cause a 3% increase in the price of the meat produced.

This report should be used to counter some of the wild claims by "Pelosi et al".
