Immigrations and Customs’ biggest single-workplace bust ever will make certain of that for a while.
ICE rounded up nearly 600 suspected illegal immigrants at Howard Industries’ transformer plant in Laurel, Miss.
Looking at this in political terms, with an ongoing neck-and-neck presidential race, it’s going to be fun to see just how Barack Obama and John McCain address, or dance around, this issue.
On the human side, anybody knows that not all Hispanic illegals are from Mexico. They came from more than half a dozen Hispanic countries, including Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama and Peru. At least one German was in the mix, too.
Workers aren’t the only people on the firing line, either. ICE spokesperson Barbara Gonzalez said company headquarters were raided and that the agency’s investigation is ongoing.
