Don't worry or hold your breath waiting. The vast majority of these plants E-verify as they contract with the government in some manner along the food chain.

Frankly, if I have to explain that the corporations are paying off politicians so that they can undercut and underpay both domestic workers (also mentioned) and the illegals which is the point of the thread....then you are having issues with the topic at hand.

I clearly noted the politicians and the corporations involvement as well, you have a habit of zeroing in on one snipet and attacking.

Balls? No, I'm just noting the forum and avoiding getting infracted for honestly assessing your abilities to participate in these sorts of discussions. I don't want to make you upset or cause a bout of hysteria or nerves.
Bye bye Mathguy. :waves:

PS give me the name of one plant that hires mostly illegals who stand around working in urine and feces while they process chicken and i'll report the company myself.
While laws might be somewhat slack in enforcement they arent non existant and for a large poultry processing plant i cant believe they would take the chance of getting caught.

LOL. Naive you are. Have you ever been to a tyson processing plant? Did you read the links you provided?

"The administration's near discontinuation of worksite enforcement means that employers now face very little risk in hiring illegal workers and have little incentive to abide by the law," wrote Jessica Vaughan, policy director for the Center for Immigration Studies"

While dont believethe conditions are unsanitary or that employees are standing around in human excrement I know the employees are predominately illegal, at least in my neck of the woods. I can give you an address. Who are you going to call, ICE. Now thats funny.

I also know that in the particular factory in my town newly illegals relieve themselves on the floor of the restrooms. Yep, dump right in the middle of the floor. It was an issue.

One has to admit the visual is pretty atrocious.

There is NO humor here. Protective laws for worker abuse is Not A Joke.
Indonesia, China, Thailand, and Vietnam sweat shops are worse than our food factories. But not by much.
If you've ever been in hospital after surgery needing bathroom assistance (I have), or had one of these on your feet/ production jobs (I have ), then you will have compassion for these workers.
By the way, those adult diapers are expensive.
I don't touch chicken, haven't for about nine years, since a surgeon taught me what goes on in poultry production.

I dont feel that this is the place for that kind of humor.

What a loss of self esteem for these workers. How humiliating.
Fortunately I don't touch chicken, since a surgeon taught me what goes on in poultry production. I refuse to support that vile industry and there are many other sources of protein.
Please do not joke about their misfortune.
Their misfortune?
The law allows for two 10 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch break. This is pretty much standard in a factory setting. There are plenty of occupations where an employee can not just go to the bathroom anytime or as many times as they want. It is not a misfortune, it is a choice.

The further one reads within the development of this thread, the stronger the hype and oversimplification becomes. Regrettably, this is standard procedure for those with a strong cause and a limited set of facts.

(I have a relative who served as a USDA inspector in a North Carolina poultry plant, BTW -- not that it matters to those whose minds are already closed.)

If this is happening in your town the onus is on you to file the complaints to the appropriate authorities , illegal employees and unsanitary conditions are complaints worth reporting.

Knowing and proving are two different animals altogether.

Unless you are actually working inside the plant I can't imagine anyone taking what would essentially be heresay seriously.

There has already been a lawsuit. The factory still employees illegals. They just make sure they don't discriminate against other races in hiring practices.
Do you know law enforcement do not have immigration authority and cant even legally check the status of someone they suspect of being in this country illegally. Do you think ICE investigates individual citizen complaints.
