Iowa meatpacking plant raid uncovers swarm of illegal immigrants, underage workers

POSTVILLE, Iowa — When federal immigration agents raided the kosher meatpacking plant here in May and rounded up 389 illegal immigrants, they found more than 20 under-age workers, some as young as 13.
Now those young immigrants have begun to tell investigators about their jobs. Some said they worked shifts of 12 hours or more, wielding razor-edged knives and saws to slice freshly killed beef. Some worked through the night, sometimes six nights a week.
One, a Guatemalan named Elmer L. who said he was 16 when he started working on the plant's killing floors, said he worked 17-hour shifts, six days a week. In an affidavit, he said he was constantly tired and did not have time to do anything but work and sleep. “I was very sad,â€Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn

NO
Most of the young immigrants have been released from detention but remain in deportation proceedings. Parras Konrad said she will ask immigration authorities to grant them special four-year temporary visas, known as U-visas, which are offered to immigrants who assist in law enforcement investigations. Iowa labor officials are considering supporting some of those visa requests, Sheridan-Lucht said.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

I can`t help but think that this is are so called governments fault. They have hurt everyone finacially, socially and emotionally. It has gotten to a point where everybody thinks that eveything and everyone is wrong, at least thats my opinion . Everyone is a snowflake and we will distroy the plant and all mankind. It`s inevitable. Just give it alittle more time. God help us all. I can`t stand this anymore

I would bet my last dollar that if they started passing out prison sentences to these greedy bastages that hire these people that this kind of crap would stop.
Illegal immigrants or not these greedy owners need to be hung out to dry for this kind of stuff.
And trust me the owners and managers know excactly what they are doing.We can't deport them all ? Just think of the fun we could have trying!

Much as I would like to see all of these folks busted or deported---both employers and employees--I am also concerned about the costs. Deport the illegal employees---fine the bosses and owners. At least that way the local governments get some revenue coming in to offset the expenses.

This Patroits imo is a very black eye to America and shows beyond question the corrouption under the current "Officals". Anything goes mentality for profit = Slave Labor . Not even Illegals who shouldn't be here should not be treated in this very inhuman fashion . Am no bleeding heart as most of you'll know . But this is "Wrong" in a modern society. Some heads in High places need to be jailed and bought to trial .

Will Agriprocessors be ordered out of business if these allegations are proven to be true?
