Hello? Press? Where are you?

[SHRED]

Will anyone in the press/media do an in-depth look and follow-up of the illegal employers in Mississippi?
What actually happens to these owners?

I can dream can't I?

1. That would be nice

I'll let you know what I did about it after I win the Lotto.

3. The most optimistic take possible

ICE will have the process all of the detainees, find out who is undocumented and who is not, then they'll know how many criminal and/or civil counts to slap the company and managers with.

At least, that is what should happen if they were following the law.

What will happen is anyone's guess. A depressing, not unrealistic take is: Nothing. Nothing will happen to them.

I hope we and the media do not let this one go. I'm hoping this is so widely publicized that there is no way the people responsible for the practices and hiring get away scot free.

May be a fool's hope.

4. For some context

In a related story, ProPublica published this today about Koch Industries' Georgia-Pacific plant and their hideous employee safety record.

The story took months to report, and it covers more than five years of records.

So the whole idea that investigative journalism is an overnight thing is something you might want to re-think.
