Major Immigration Raid in Portland

But once again, the employers avoid arrest!

“only 48 of nearly 600 workers at the plant had valid Social Security numbers”.

A major produce plant in Portland Oregon was raided by ICE agents targeting illegal immigrant workers. But I saw no CEO's, no HR Management or any other management from the company being hauled away in handcuffs.

When will this government get serious about enforcing the law, protecting the borders....and targeting everyone involved in this nonsense, including the fat cat CEO's? I am tired of seeing only poor folks being taken away after one of these raids (which seem to be intended for the American viewing audience...to give the impression that Bush & Co. is on the case).

The immigration issue cannot be dealt with in any serious way until and unless the Federal government starts punishing the employers who use (and attract) illegal immigration and who are benefiting from the extra profits that come from using illegal labor.
