With Mississippi Sting, ICE
Sends Message to Big Employers of Illegal Workers

Details of the hiring
practices of seven meat-processing plants in central Mississippi started coming
to light as court documents were unsealed on Aug. 8.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents seized the business
records during a sweep that hit all seven plants
simultaneously and resulted in the arrest of 680 workers, suspected to be
illegally employed.
Six of the seven plants
were “willfully and unlawfully” hiring people who didn’t have legal authority
to work in the United States, according to the court documents.
Almost the full staff of
two chicken-processing plants were illegal aliens, according to a confidential
informant who worked with ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents.
The two companies—P H
Foods Inc. and A & B Inc.—owned by the same Chinese man, hired about 300
illegal immigrants from Guatemala and Mexico, the informant told agents.
The informant said most of
the illegal aliens used their real names and made-up Social Security numbers. Others
used falsified documents or the stolen identities of U.S. citizens, according
to court documents.
A Guatemalan national
interviewed by HSI agents said he had worked at A & B Inc. for about six
years and was only required to give his name when he got the job. He said he
was paid $900 by check every two weeks.
Some workers were wearing
electronic monitoring bracelets for previous immigration violations.
Another illegal alien,
Daniel Morales-Cabrera, told agents he had worked for P H Food Inc. for about
five years under the name Samual Rivera, using a fake California identification
card that he bought for $150.
According to ICE, worksite
investigations often involve egregious violations by employers such as human
smuggling, document fraud, money laundering, or worker exploitation, such as
using threats or coercion, and substandard wages or working conditions.
Mike Hurst, U.S. attorney
for the Southern District of Mississippi, said although he can’t divulge many
details about the ongoing investigation, he’s looking to prosecute anyone who
has violated federal criminal law.
“To those who take
advantage of illegal aliens, to those who use illegal aliens for a competitive
advantage or to make a quick buck—we have something to say to you: ‘If we find
that you have violated federal criminal law, we’re coming after you,’” Hurst
said at a press conference on Aug. 7.
‘Huge Case’
Former ICE Chief Tom Homan
said the Mississippi operation is a “huge case.”
“This is a continuation of the effort to hold employers accountable to
the law as written by Congress in 1986. This law’s been around a long time,”
Homan told The Epoch Times on Aug 8. “This is about trying to remove a magnet
that draws a lot of illegal
immigration in this country.”
When Congress enacted the
Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, it gave amnesty to 2.7 million
illegal immigrants on the proviso that employers be mandated to verify that new
hires are eligible to work in the United States.
Most illegal immigrants
come to the United States for economic reasons, according to Yuma Sector Border
Patrol Chief Anthony Porvaznik.
“In Border Patrol custody
in Yuma, we really have a very small percentage of people that actually claim
asylum or credible fear in our custody—it’s less than 10 percent,” Porvaznik
said on April 17.
“Over 90 percent are
really here for economic reasons or to unite with someone they know already in
the United States.”
Deterring
illegal employment is “the single best way” to try to control illegal
immigration, said Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center
for Immigration Studies.
“What we know from the
past is when there have been these high-profile, large operations, then we do
see a significant number of people—who are living here illegally—decide to go
home on their own rather than wait to be arrested,” Vaughan said. “So this is
important on so many levels. It’s the best kind of bang-for-buck enforcement
that ICE can do.”
Vaughan said such
large-scale hiring of illegal workers usually means the employers are
complicit.
“It usually means that
this was their business model. That they were deliberately bypassing the
American workers who were available in order to cut their costs and increase
their profits,” she said.
“There are presumably
quite a few people in rural Mississippi who would qualify for these jobs and
who need them to support their families.”
A Center for Immigration
Studies report on Aug. 8 found that Mississippi has the lowest labor-force
participation rate of any state.
A job fair
held for a Koch Foods processing plant in Morton, Mississippi, which lost 243
suspected illegal workers on Aug. 7, attracted dozens of locals.
Eddie Nicholson Jr. of
Louisville was among the Aug. 12 applicants at a state employment service
office in Forest, Mississippi. “They hire anybody,” he told The Associated
Press.
The 25-year-old has worked
in chicken plants before and was considering a return, but wanted to see if
wages had gone up. Plants in recent years have typically paid $11 to $12 an
hour, according to labor statistics, but Nicholson said he wants $15 an hour.
“Our studies have shown
that following these kinds of operations, typically the employers, if they want
to stay in business, will have to increase wages and improve working conditions
and offer these jobs to other local workers in the area,” Vaughan said. “So,
this could be a real help to the economy in these areas.”
A massive ICE operation in
December 2006 that included six meat processing plants operated by Swift &
Co. resulted in close to 1,300 arrests of illegal immigrant workers. The
plants—based in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Texas, Colorado, and Utah—took four
months to resume full production, according to Jerry Kammer, senior research
fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies, in congressional testimony on
Nov. 18, 2009.
“To replenish its depleted
ranks, Swift launched a campaign to recruit American citizens, green card
holders, and refugees. It raised wages, provided bonuses to new workers, and
paid relocation expenses,” Kammer said.
In that case, several
hundred illegal workers were charged with identity theft against U.S. citizens
by using fraudulently acquired Social Security numbers, along with immigration
charges. No charges were brought against corporate officials.
No true number exists for
how many illegal immigrant workers are in the United States, but an estimate
from the Pew Research Center suggests 8.1 million were working or looking for
work in 2012. That’s 1 in 20 U.S. workers, according to Jeffrey Passel, senior
demographer for Pew.
“Because unauthorized
immigrants tend to have less education than people born in the U.S. or legal
immigrants, they are more likely to hold low-skilled jobs and less likely to be
in white-collar occupations,” Passel said in a Senate hearing on March 26,
2015.
“They are especially
likely to hold certain low-skilled jobs in construction and service categories.
For example, unauthorized immigrants are about one-third of drywall installers
(34 percent) and farm laborers (30 percent). They represent about one-quarter
of roofers (27 percent), maids (25 percent), painters (24 percent), masons (22
percent), and carpet and floor installers (22 percent).”
Data obtained from the Social Security Administration revealed 39 million instances in which names and Social
Security numbers on W-2 forms didn’t match corresponding Social Security
records, according to a report by the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI)
published on Sept. 11, 2018.
The IRLI points to illegal
immigrants as the main culprits.
The IRLI said the cases
occurred between 2012 and 2016, after then-President Barack Obama stopped the
practice of sending “no match” letters to employers, in cases where the name
and number don’t match up on W-2 forms. Obama stopped the no-match letters
eight days after he implemented the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
amnesty in 2012.
Worksite
Enforcement
In 2017, as head of ICE,
Homan announced that the agency aimed to quadruple its worksite enforcement and
that illegal workers should be arrested during worksite operations.
Illegal alien workers were
largely off-limits during the Obama era, when arrests plummeted from more than
1,600 individuals in fiscal year 2009 to 106 in fiscal 2016.
“The problem with that is
when ICE agents are not allowed to even talk to the workers, much less arrest
them, it makes it much harder for them to build a case against the
employers—because it’s the workers who know what was going on,” Vaughan said.
There are few cases of
employers being penalized for hiring unauthorized workers, as it’s more
difficult to prove they did so knowingly—many can simply blame it on
unknowingly receiving false documentation.
Employers must fill out an
I-9 form within three days of a new hire and file it away. The I-9 requires
employees to present proof that they can legally work in the United States,
such as a U.S. passport or work authorization card. If the employee has neither
of those things, they must produce a Social Security number or birth
certificate, as well as a driver’s license or voter registration card.
A recent case demonstrates
that employers do end up on the hook in some cases. In July, the former owner
of a Tennessee meatpacking plant was sentenced to 18 months in prison and three
years supervised release. James Brantley pleaded guilty in April to tax
evasion, wire fraud, and employing illegal immigrants.
And in September 2017, a Pennsylvania-based company was fined a record $95 million for hiring and rehiring
employees who company executives knew to be ineligible to work in the United
States.
The company, Asplundh Tree
Expert Co., a tree-trimming and brush-clearance company for power and gas
lines, is also one of the largest privately held companies in the country,
according to ICE.
Company supervisors
knowingly accepted illegitimate documents, such as green cards, Social Security
cards, and driver’s licenses, as evidence of authorized status or employment in
the United States, according to a statement by the District Attorney’s Office
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
ICE conducts I-9 audits on
businesses to help root out illegal hiring. From fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2018,
the agency increased its I-9 audits by 340 percent, according to Greg Nevano,
HSI’s assistant director of investigative programs.
He said ICE also increased
its worksite criminal arrests by 460 percent from fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2018,
while administrative arrests increased by 757 percent.
A “pattern or practice” of
intentionally hiring unauthorized aliens is a violation of Title 8 U.S. code,
Section 1324a, and maximum penalties include fines of up to $3,000 for each
unauthorized alien and up to six months in prison.
In addition, employers can
be charged with a felony for intentionally making false statements on an I-9
form. Tax evasion and various other crimes around worker exploitation are also
potential charges.
E-Verify
President Donald Trump’s immigration priorities laid out on Oct. 8, 2017,
supported mandatory use of E-verify, which is a free system for businesses to
check if potential employees are legally allowed to work in the United States.
It provides an automated link to the Social Security Administration database
and Homeland Security immigration records.
Currently the program is
voluntary, but some states, including Mississippi, have made it mandatory.
A quick search on the E-verify website shows that P H Foods Inc. and A & B
Inc. are not signed up; however, the other three companies included in the
recent ICE operation are signed up: Koch Foods, Pearl River Foods, and Peco
Foods.
The White House expressed
that hiring legal workers is a priority for the administration in its April
2017 executive order “Buy American and Hire American.”
“In order to create higher
wages and employment rates for workers in the United States, and to protect
their economic interests, it shall be the policy of the executive branch to
rigorously enforce and administer the laws governing entry into the United States
of workers from abroad,” the executive order states.
Trump himself has been
accused of having illegal workers on his properties, including housekeepers,
maintenance workers, and landscapers.
A New York Times article in December 2018 featured illegal
immigrant housekeeper Victorina Morales, who said she crossed the border in
1999 and used false Social Security and permanent resident cards to obtain
work.
Illegal Workers in Mississippi
Acting ICE Director
Matthew Albence said each of the 680 people’s cases in Mississippi will be
handled individually, depending on their circumstances.
“Some of those
individuals, we’re looking to prosecute criminally. Some of these individuals
are here illegally, have already gone through the immigration court process,
have been ordered removed by an immigration judge, and have failed to comply
with that removal order. Those individuals, we’ll look to swiftly remove,”
Albence said at a press conference on Aug 7.
“On the other individuals,
who are yet to go through the immigration process … we will process them, we
will place them in front of an immigration judge, where they will make their
case as to whether or not they have a lawful right to remain in the country.
The judge ultimately makes the decision as to whether or not these individuals
can stay.”
ILLEGALS &
WELFARE
WE CAN’T TAKE
CARE OF OUR OWN, AND YET WE LET MEXICO BUILD THEIR BILLION DOLLAR WELFARE STATE
ON OUR BACKS!!!
70% OF ILLEGALS GET WELFARE!
“According to the Centers for Immigration
Studies, April '11, at least 70% of Mexican illegal alien families receive some
type of welfare in the US!!! cis.org”
So when cities
across the country declare that they will NOT be sanctuary, guess where ALL the
illegals, criminals, gang members fleeing ICE will go???? straight to your
welcoming city. So ironically the people fighting for sanctuary city status,
may have an unprecedented crime wave to deal with along with the additional
expense.

This
annual income for an impoverished American family is $10,000 less than the more
than $34,500 in federal funds which are spent on each unaccompanied minor
border crosser.
A study by Tom Wong of the University of California
at San Diego discovered that more than 25 percent of DACA-enrolled illegal
aliens in the program have anchor babies. That totals about 200,000 anchor
babies who are the children of DACA-enrolled illegal aliens. This does not
include the anchor babies of DACA-qualified illegal aliens. JOHN BINDER
“As Breitbart News recently reported, there
are more anchor baby births in the Los Angeles, California metro area than the
total U.S. births in 14 states and the District of Colombia. Every
year, American taxpayers are billed about $2.4 billion to pay for the births of
illegal aliens.” JOHN BINDER
THE
INVASION:
“The radicals seek nothing less than secession from
the United States whether to form their own sovereign state or to reunify with
Mexico. Those who desire reunification with Mexico are irredentists who seek to
reclaim Mexico's "lost" territories in the American Southwest.” Maria
Hsia Chang Professor of Political Science, University of Nevada Reno
"Mexican
president candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for mass immigration to
the United States, declaring it a "human right". We will defend all
the (Mexican) invaders in the American," Obrador said, adding that
immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life, job, welfare, and free
medical in the United States."
"Fox’s
Tucker Carlson noted Thursday that Obrador has previously proposed ranting
AMNESTY TO MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS. “America is now Mexico’s social safety net,
and that’s a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class,” Carlson added."
All
that “cheap” labor is staggeringly expensive!

Californians bear an enormous fiscal burden as a
result of an illegal alien population estimated at almost 3 million residents.
The annual expenditure of state and local tax dollars on services for that
population is $25.3 billion. That total amounts to a yearly burden of about
$2,370 for a household headed by a U.S. citizen.

"Critics
argue that giving amnesty to 12 to 30 million illegal aliens in the U.S. would
have an immediate negative impact on America’s working and middle class — specifically
black Americans and the white working class — who would be in direct
competition for blue-collar jobs with the largely low-skilled illegal alien
population." JOHN BINDER
"Additionally, under current legal immigration
laws, if given amnesty, the illegal alien population would be allowed to bring
an unlimited number of their foreign relatives to the U.S. This population
could boost already high legal immigration levels to an unprecedented high. An
amnesty for illegal aliens would also likely triple the number of
border-crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border." JOHN BINDER
“At the current rate of invasion (mostly through
Mexico, but also through Canada) the United States will be completely over run
with illegal aliens by the year 2025. I’m not talking about legal immigrants
who follow US law to become citizens. In less than 20 years, if we do not stop
the invasion, ILLEGAL aliens and their offspring will be the dominant
population in the United States”…. Tom Barrett
