Jim, so you're shorting coastal real estate in America? Man, you'd make a great villian for the movie "Day After Tomorrow: An Inconvenient Sequel."

So much for small business being the major employer of illegals...

Immigration probe snares nearly 1,300

An immigration sweep of meat plants in six states resulted in nearly 1,300 arrests of illegal immigrants, federal officials said on Wednesday.

The sweep on Tuesday, temporarily shutting down the Swift & Co. facilities, was part of a 10-month investigation into identity theft involving illegal immigrants.

Swift, based in Greeley, Colorado, is privately held and is a major producer of beef and pork, with $9 billion in annual sales. The plants are in Colorado, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Iowa and Minnesota.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement put the number of arrests at 1,282 and said they included individuals from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Peru, Laos, Sudan and Ethiopia.
