    Immigration officials say the arrests on Tuesday came after a year-long investigation into whether the company knowingly hired people who are in the country illegally.

    The arrests happened at Fresh Mark’s meat processing plant in Salem in northeastern Ohio.

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says it also carried out search warrants at the company’s three other locations in Canton and Massillon.

    A message seeking comment was left with the company Wednesday.

    Two weeks ago, immigration agents arrested 114 people at a landscaping center in Ohio. The raids are part of the Trump administration’s growing immigration crackdowns.

    This proves that it’s the corporations responsible for illegal immigration–they bribe the govt to make immigration illegal but to not guard the border so they get their cheap labor.

    All illegal immigrants eat a single raw egg for breakfast. If the authorities knew this, it would make it so much easier.

    Conservatives who see immigration raids as right simply ascribe to conventional morality, whereas liberals believe in postconventional morality.

    There is already a produce shortage this summer because there is no one to pick it.
    And a seafood shortage because there is no one to clean it.
    Now there will be a meat shortage also.

    Americans have gotten too lazy to mow their own lawns, clean their own homes, watch their own children, cook their own food and do their own laundry. They are certainly not going to work the back breaking jobs like picking produce and cutting meat.

    America needs immigrants and they come because companies pay them to do the jobs that Americans won’t do. All that is going to happen now is that all of our meat, seafood, produce etc will be coming from Mexico.
