https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/07/us/mississippi-immigration-raids/index.html

In a statement provided to CNN affiliate WAPT, a company that owns several facilities where arrests occurred Wednesday said it is cooperating with investigators.
"We are fully cooperating with the authorities in their investigation and are navigating a potential disruption of operations," Peco Foods Inc. said in a statement. "We adhere strongly to all local, state and federal laws including utilizing the government-based E-Verify program which screens new hires through the Social Security Administration as well as the Department of Homeland Security for compliance."

One of the plants is owned by Koch Foods Inc., which bills itself as one of the largest poultry processors in the U.S. with more than 13,000 employees. Forbes ranks it as the 135th largest privately held company in the country, with an estimated $3.2 billion in annual revenue, according to Fortune.

Another plant raided Wednesday was in Canton, Miss., and is owned by Peco Foods Inc., based in Tuscaloosa, Ala. It is the 8th largest poultry producer in the U.S., according to the company's website.

"How was I supposed to know these were fraudulent or forged documents? I'm not in law enforcement."

I was what passed for H.R. in a small company --- 6 employees. I recorded documents that were provided. They probably were legitimate. But I don't really know.

Recall the 60 minutes episode about 10 years ago. A reporter in east L.A. got perfect, fraudulent documents in one hour. Ca. drivers license and all.

We have E Check that could immediately identify them.

One of the biggest roofing companies were found to employ all illegals. Sued,they are now out of business.

Under Trump it is fear tactics, nothing more.
