Thread: ICE raids plant in Laurel, Mississippi

Hunt argues that advocates for illegal immigration cannot continue to use children as an excuse for allowing aliens to break the law. "It's no different from any other person who breaks our laws. Their children suffer. Our prisons are full of lawbreakers whose children are suffering because they broke the law," he continues. "I think we should consider the people who are citizens and...legal residents instead of the illegal people [sic] that are here."

THERE YOU HAVE IT IN A NUT SHELL.

Protest sparked when families don't get Howard paychecks

By Jason Niblett, newseditor@laurelleadercall.com

Word that Howard Industries didn’t pay suspected illegal immigrants sparked a protest Thursday when family members of those former workers found out.

Reports the company withheld pay to the 595 people suspected of being in the United States and working at the Laurel plant illegally up until a U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid Monday were unverified. But, Vicky Cintra with the Mississippi Immigrant Rights Alliance said she was onsite to help the families receive money owed to the former employees, and she is prepared to involve the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service if the company still refuses to pay. Cintra said Howard Industries security personnel immediately called law enforcement when she intervened on behalf of the former employees.

“They were trying to remove me because I said I was representing them,â€

stormydane I will say a prayer for you guys to be safe from the storm

Good idea. Play it safe. Katrina victims wouldn't listen and they were sorry, of course the blamed everyone but themselves, but your smart to get a jump on it and the traffic.
