Iowa AgriProcessors Illegal Worker Raid Update

By captainfish · Thursday, September 11. 2008 00:33
With a Hat Tip to a great American, Digger, over at Digger's Realm, comes an update on the legal progress that came out of the raid of the AgriProcessors plant in Iowa by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

Agriprocessors - 9,000 Child Labor Violations Says Iowa Attorney General
By Digger

Agriprocessors Inc., the Postville, Iowa "kosher" meatpacking plant raided in May 2008 by ICE, has been charged with over 9,000 child labor law violations by the Iowa Attorney General. The charges were filed today.

If ever there was a case to throw some owners in jail for a long time this is the one. Not only did this company knowingly import and hire illegal aliens, they knowingly hired minors and put them in unsafe situations according to the charges filed by the Iowa Attorney General.


I agree. This is probably the best shot at sending someone to jail. If they don't, then what are laws for?

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*This is the best illustration I've yet seen of the danger we court when we enforce laws selectively. Whenever we hear someone trying to persuade us with an appeal to our better natures to turn a blind eye toward immigration laws, we have to wonder what other violations they're trying to hide behind that screen of compassion and hopey changiness.
