Its easy to say arrest them all, bring illegal employment under, the fact of the matter is that most American workers wouldn’t do that kind of work. I had the liberty to speak to some of the employees who were not arrested, as they are legal, they told me that "we will never do that kind of work" since the raid the company couldn’t find anyone that would.

we have to be aware that there is a reason why the majority of meat processing plants went off shore, and must of the meat we use on a daily basis is imported from Canada, Mexico and even as far as China.

It seems that our culture is such that people are particular on occupations, our government’s attitude is “harden the life on corporations” via new regulations and employee taxes every so often. Such continuations of events will eventually get the manufacturing industry out of the US totally. How that will help the economy (with the weakening dollar that kills importers) is puzzling to me.

I won’t say that this company should be treated out of the law, but before anyone gets angry lets look on facts.
