"Swift has never condoned the employment of unauthorized workers, nor have we ever knowingly hired such individuals," Swift & Co. President and CEO Sam Rovit said in a statement."

Hmm....better put on some waders to make it through that s@!t! What kind of payroll system do they use? Whatever it is, they should get a different version because theirs must not have a problem with several identical social security numbers within one plant, let alone one company.

Six Swift processing facilities were raided Tuesday, in Greeley; Grand Island, Neb.; Cactus, Texas; Hyrum, Utah; Marshalltown, Iowa; and Worthington, Minn., representing all of Swift's domestic beef processing capacity and 77 percent of its pork processing capacity.

Swift & Co. describes itself as an $8 billion business and the world's second-largest meat processing company. The Hyrum plant can process up to 2,200 cattle a day, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. Hyrum city Administrator Brent Jensen says that plant employs more than 1,000 people.

Here is where the phone calls will be made to the higher up politicians (same ones that are couting on the hispanic votes when the 12 million or so become legal) and the raids will suddenly cease.

ICE chief Julie L. Myers told reporters in Washington that agents had uncovered a scheme in which illegal immigrants and others had stolen or bought the identities and Social Security numbers of possibly hundreds of U.S. citizens and lawful residents to get jobs with Greeley-based meat processor Swift & Co.

Well there's nothing wrong with ruining a few hundred U.S. citizens lives by having the IRS coming after them, destroying credit, and having to pay countless thousands or time for an identity theft victim to repair everything, right? We NEED them to do jobs American's won't do and who cares about the sacrifices. Wait a sec.....that's a load!
