I ask,,..Anyone know how the investigations....

of the businesses who knowingly hired illegal immigrants in Louisiana is going?

I would of thought that by now, that Immigration authorities would have fully began investigating for their transgressions against U.S. Immigrations laws.

Certainly our President should be made aware of the operators who are defying our Immigration Laws...

New York Times

Federal immigration officials believe that the companies targeted in raids at poultry plants across Mississippi last week knowingly hired undocumented immigrants, a violation of federal law, according to affidavits filed by federal agents supporting the raids.

About 680 immigrants believed to be working without legal documentation were taken away on buses by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during the coordinated sting on Aug. 7. The operation, which might be the largest work site enforcement action ever in a single state, focused on plants run by five companies: Peco Foods, Pearl River Foods, Koch Foods, A & B Inc. and P H Food Inc.

...snip...

The affidavits, made public the day after the raids, show that the agents believe that the companies were “willfully and unlawfully” employing undocumented immigrants.

In some cases, the affidavits say, the companies employed people who would show up to work wearing ankle monitors that are part of a federal program to make sure undocumented immigrants appear at court proceedings.

Thanks..........So I would think that this issue would be all over the news with a string of reporters surrounding these law-breaking businesses trying to get the facts.

Imagine these business owners defying our blessed President..
