This kinda goes with WizardofOz's post, but anyway....
Quote:
In a written statement, President and CEO Sam Rovit said the company has never knowingly hired illegal workers and does not condone the practice.
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 estimated that a raid would remove up to 40 percent of its 13,000 workers. After a closed hearing, a judge on Thursday rejected Swift's request, clearing the way for the raids.

They don't knowingly hire illegals or condone the practice according to the President/CEO of Swift, yet one sentance later they say the raid would remove 40% of their workforce.
It sounds like to me that they knew and did condone 40% of their employees to be illegal.
