The number could be substantial. A recent review found that immigration paperwork for more than 775 of 825 workers contained false information, McDonald said. Immigration agents scoured the plant for paperwork and other information for the investigation.

94% of employees giving false information!!!!!!!!!

People try to justify this as they are just trying to provide for their family. Keep in mind that these people are using identity theft to get valid SSN's and other information to get the jobs. What about all the people that have had their credit rating tanked by this, and then will likely have to deal with the IRS because of the wages reported under their SSN. With the IRS you pay first, they you try to prove to them that you actually don't owe the money you already had to pay.

To run with your ball further: methinks that an inordinate number of said victims of ID theft are US citizens/green card holders have Spanish surnames.

This only leads me to wonder why so many Hispanics put up with it! Note to Hispanics that support illegal immigration: These illegals aren't your friends and could generally care less about your wellfare. These illegals may share your heritage to some extent but that's about all you can expect them to share with you!

When he heard about the raid, Mateo Matias got his neighbor's three children out of school and brought them to the plant. He wanted immigration officials to see the boys - ages 4, 5 and 6 - in hopes they might release their mother, who is from Guatemala, where her husband remains.

Lovely move there.

I'm sorry but that just struck me as so wrong. It will be bad enough for the kids if the mother gets deported (and rightfully so if she is illegal) but this moron didn't need to make it even worse for them.

I guess the ends DO justify the means.
