re: I'd resent it, of course. That's not a solution. You would 'resent' that your family could barely survive? There is more to this country than cheap products. A thriving middle class is healthy for the economy in more ways than can be counted. You've been gone too long. I don't think many folks want the US to become Dubai. re: And you talk of corporate profits. Don't most illegal immigrants work in small businesses? Restaurants, work with your hands labor, that sort of thing? I don't think MSFT has that many illegal workers. Feds arrest 1,200 in immigration raids Published Thursday, December 14, 2006 WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal officials said yesterday that the raids on meatpacking plants in six states uncovered a "disturbing front" in the battle against illegal immigration - identity theft as a tool to obtain employment. The raids against Swift & Co., a Greeley, Colo.-based meat processor, added up to the largest-ever workplace crackdown on illegal immigration, said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. Some 5 percent of the 1,282 arrests resulted in identity theft charges. Chertoff said the raids highlighted a need for the guest worker program, which would cut down on the demand for illegal documents. He also asked for more tools from Congress to allow his agencies to detect when Social Security numbers are being used by multiple people. On the other side, immigrant rights groups said the raid terrorized thousands of workers and their families but did little to the employers or the people who sold the workers the documents in the first place.
