Immigration officials last month informed Swift that it would remove unauthorized workers on Dec. 4, but Swift asked a federal judge to prevent agents from conducting the raid, arguing it would cause "substantial and irreparable injury" to its business.

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.

Wait wait wait.....Swift has never condone the employment of unauthorized workers yet knew about ICE planning raids as early as one month ago....but Swift went to court to block the raid because it would cause "substantial and irreparable injury" to its business. So it sounds like yes, you definately knew there were illegals working there otherwise how would it be substantial to its business. Oh yeah, because when ICE shows up they would take half the plants worth of illegal workers with them. Maybe Swift should STFU with playing ignorance and get hit with one hell of a fine that would cause "irreparable injury" to its business.
Anyhow, the illegals were rounded up but still haven't been kicked over the border. Between the problems with anchor babies, big business with big bucks, the mexican government preparing information booklets on how to prolong the system, and the logistics....there is still a lot of miles to go as well as political hurdles. I wouldn't be surprised if the Mexican government tells their border gaurds to block reentry. The underlying thought would be "don't bring them back here, we don't want people to actually stay in this country and cause reforms after they realize how corrupt our asses are"
