Now those young immigrants have begun to tell investigators about their jobs. Some said they worked shifts of 12 hours or more, wielding razor-edged knives and saws to slice freshly killed beef.

The owner of this business should go to jail for at least 10 years for the numberous crimes. He won't because most lawmakers have to repay his favors and I am sure he is calling those favors in
The american justice systems sucks. Only the poor get punished and the taxpayers will have to support hundreds more illegals that justice department has decided to give a green card.

Never mind that “the raid” missed a few illegal aliens according to those same illegal aliens in the article…sheesh

Illegal aliens have learned a new tactic in order to avoid deportation/prosecution: simply cry ABUSE! That and tell em’ you’re underage. Sure Juanita Guadalupe Jesus Hernandez Rodriquez Lopez Rosa Chavez may look 60 (all that employer abuse really aged her), but she claims she’s really 16 (her fraudulent documentation proves she is) and by gawd we believe her!

While Juanita’s employer must be prosecuted for the felonious deed of hiring an illegal alien (regardless of their alleged age), the fact that we are giving these illegal aliens a “get out of deportation/prosecution” card and free attorneys guiding them to sue everybody and their mothers, just makes this all the more farcical.

Only in America can an illegal alien who gets hurt in the commission of a felony—sue-- and actually win!

In the mean time…Those people whose social security numbers have been stolen, the lives that have been turned into chaos by countless Juanitas (and farcical federal authorities) will have NO recourse against either of them.

Customs did their job during the raid. Hopefully they will be permitted to continue to do their hob and deport the illegals.

They should all be deported and companies who hired them (no matter what the working conditions were) should have to pay the piper for hiring illegals.

The raids should continue because illegals will continue to enter this country. They sneak in...we send them back. Maybe sooner or later they will catch on....If you can't enter our countru legally.....STAY HOME!

But wait, didn’t the illegals claim that they were willing to take jobs that Americans didn’t want? You know like working 12 hours a day without overtime pay. And now they are complaining and whining about slave wages and losing limbs because of unsafe working conditions! So they aren’t willing to work jobs that Americans weren’t willing to work either! So they lied! It’s also a catch 22 situation. If these companies paid a living wage and were safe to begin with then Americans would apply and there would be no need to hire illegal immigrants!
