Yet another story of cheating scumbags....no doubt pruodusc believes that these phony poultry pickers should be given the 'opportunity' to stand in the back of the line by paying a token fine to get a green card....but then, proudusc has been snarfing up too much KFC..
DALLAS (AP) - For years, federal agents had received tips alleging undocumented immigrants were working at plants owned by the Pilgrim's Pride Corp., the nation's largest chicken producer.
This spring, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Dallas acted on leads that pointed toward two of the company's seven East Texas plants.
Undercover agents posing as illegal immigrants infiltrated an alleged network of job-seekers who paid hundreds of dollars for fraudulent identification while those responsible for hiring them looked the other way.
By the time the investigation wrapped up in December, agents had arrested 24 people, including:
- A Pilgrim's Pride employee accused of dealing identification documents;
- A human resources employee at the company's Mount Pleasant facility;
- Two other men agents say were part of the scheme to get identity documents for illegal immigrants.
Twenty other workers at Pilgrim's Pride plants in Mt. Pleasant and Pittsburg, Texas, were accused of using social security numbers not issued to them.
The matter is expected to go to a federal grand jury later in January. But newly unsealed court documents laying out the government's case offer a rare glimpse into an allegedly complicit circle of illegal workers, document dealers and trusted employees that made the scheme work.
It's the latest effort by the government to pursue illegal immigrant workers and the employers who hire them by focusing on fraudulent identity documents and social security numbers. ICE agents arrested more than 1,200 workers at Swift & Co. meatpacking plants nationwide in 2006 as part of a similar investigation.
In the Pilgrim's case, an affidavit by ICE Special Agent George Ramirez revealed the agency has received more than 75 calls since 2005 about illegal immigrant workers at the company's plants. A review found 14 of the company's human resources employees were suspected of knowingly hiring undocumented immigrants, Ramirez stated.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Alan Jackson in Tyler said he couldn't comment on whether the government is investigating Pilgrim's Pride.
But Ray Atkinson, a spokesman for the Pittsburg-based company said Pilgrim's Pride is not facing charges and is cooperating fully in the federal investigation. The company has about 55,000 employees and operates dozens of facilities mostly across the South, in Mexico and Puerto Rico.
"Our company is very concerned about any allegations of this type," Atkinson said.
In a statement, Pilgrim's added that its employees are trained to spot fraudulent documents, verify social security numbers and make sure applicants are eligible to work in the U.S. The company noted the system isn't foolproof, saying even federal officials conceded a database check can't detect whether valid numbers or documents have been stolen.
"The HR employee who was taken into custody has been terminated from employment," Atkinson said in a statement to The Associated Press. "We are looking further into the matter."
Undercover ICE agents penetrated the Pilgrim's ring by claiming to be undocumented workers eager to purchase the papers needed to land "good" jobs at the chicken plants. Once hired, some agents continued the ruse by working shifts in the plant, doing surveillance and monitoring conversations.
Among the accused are alleged "document vendors" Marcos Garcia and Daniel "Chilango" Totosaus-Rodriguez. According to the court records, the pair sold doctored documents to a confidential informant to get a job at Pilgrim's Mount Pleasant site. If convicted, they face up to 15 years in prison for transferring false identification.
The two men allegedly guaranteed their wares, promising to replace the documents at no extra charge if Pilgrim's discovered a social security number to be invalid. They also told agents that employees in Pilgrim's human resources office wouldn't question applicants returning with papers bearing a new name because "everyone knows what's going on."
Garcia allegedly met the informant in April outside a coin-operated laundry and offered help him get a job at Pilgrim's for $800, including $600 for the necessary documents and a $200 "finder's fee" for himself. Days later, the price went up to $900. He claimed to have connections to a foreman in the plant.
Later, the informant and Garcia met with Totosaus-Rodriguez, who allegedly assured them the documents would be "good," and that he had previously obtained identification from the same source.
Before the informant received the false documents, he was introduced to Pilgrim's Pride human resources employee Reyna Villarreal to discuss a "good" job within the company.
Totosaus-Rodriguez allegedly hinted after the meeting that the informant may need to pay Villarreal $500 to seal the deal, saying: "with money, everything is possible."
During a later meeting at Pilgrim's, the informant gave his documents to Villarreal and told her he'd purchased them from Garcia. Villarreal entered the social security number into a computer system and then said the "documents look good to me," according to court records.
Villarreal, who also goes by Reyna Aleman, was arrested on a complaint of making a false statement. Authorities allege she claimed to be a U.S. citizen on a form when at the time she wasn't. Her attorney was not immediately available for comment.
Yet another Pilgrim's employee, Jose Luis Garcia, allegedly collected photos of the informant and relayed the cash paid for the identity documents. Agents later determined the man had been previously deported and was again living illegally in the U.S. He was charged with re-entering the United States after being denied admission and faces up to two years in prison.
Attorneys for Marcos Garcia, Jose Luis Garcia and Totosaus-Rodriguez didn't immediately return calls for comment.
The others arrested, all Pilgrim's employees, are accused of fraudulently using identification documents, including social security numbers. Each faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
It appears that those who purchased new identities did so for the sole purpose of getting jobs. The investigation found no efforts to obtain credit or loans using the names, said Jackson, the prosecutor.
But the scheme still caused hardships for some whose identities were allegedly stolen; most were people with Spanish surnames.
One of the true holders of a social security number used to land a job at Pilgrim's Pride received a notice from the Internal Revenue Service asking for back taxes on wages he purportedly earned. And an Illinois nursing home resident nearly lost his disability benefits because it appeared he was employed, according to court documents.
"Identity theft cases like these show the link between illegal immigration and criminal activity that affects people like you and me," said John Chakwin Jr., special agent in charge of ICE's Office of Investigations in Dallas. "Victims of identity theft are robbed of their very financial stability, and it can take years to recover from this crime's devastating effects."
And we wonder why identity theft is the fastest growing type of crime. I think what should be done is to give each of these 12m illegals Hudson's and every other illegal supporter's ssn. Its a benefit to the country so I'll be generous and let their supporters reap all the benefits.
Vote Republican and this country will still be worth sneaking into.

What happened, Davdah? Did someone steal your identity? Theres a preparedness plan for this type of sitation. Did you read it?
Lucky for me it would be very difficult to convince anyone that someone hispanic has my last name. It would be obvious something was wrong. But it did happen to a good friend of mine. This was back in the 80's when it was all very new. Same M.O., an illegal working at a job using my friends ssn. He got the notice from the IRS about unreported income and couldn't understand why. Lucky for him he was out of the country and was easily able to prove that it could not have been him.
Even if a system were in place to help protect people it would be a huge problem to untagle for anyone. Although in most cases its done for employment I'm sure there are many instances where its used for loans. A private lender isn't going to be so willing to let a person off the hook for an outstanding loan. You will have to jump through a lot of hoops to get it removed.
Vote Republican and this country will still be worth sneaking into.

Oh yeah that's a real solution for deterring the illegal criminal element that you support. Prior to this invasion identity theft was pretty much unheard of and a rare occurrence.
So tell me again why these liars, thieves, murderers and child molestors deserve sympathy from American citizens?

I was teasing Davdah, Beverly. Who asked you to chime in? I don't support criminals of any kind. I've stated this many, many times on this board. Perhaps you need some reading glasses?

Let me warn you in advance I'm about to put one of our myths and cultural beliefs on front street and blast it away.
It's the STRONG BLACK WOMAN myth. It's a culture that hurts us all. It devalues our very humanity, in my opinion, as well as our femininity.
Never thought that being a strong black woman was in any way negative? Think about it, when have you ever heard it used to describe a positive situation a black woman was in? Any time I hear it, it's in reference to being poor, or being a single mom, or experiencing racism, or overcoming getting beat up or raped or something else tragic. We black women are just supposed to be able to walk off any old shoddy treatment and hold it together, because we are so 'strong'.
Not me. I will gladly take being called weak because you know what? Trying to be a strong black woman when I was young and believing that mess nearly made me lose my mind. Call me a weak black woman, I don't care. Call me needy, and I will tell you that's right. I am needy, I'm a human being!
I need a man I need a man to me raise my kids I need friends I need emotional support I need closeness I need tenderness I need to be treated with respect I need to be treated with kindness I need a shoulder to cry on I need warm smiles and soft touches I need so very much
And guess what...I have what I need. Do you? Take the strong black woman cape off because you are not superman and you really cannot fly. You are nobody's workhorse or drudge and you can have the love and friendship community you need, want, and crave. I think so many black women hold onto this idea because we think if we let it go, and allow ourselves to be vulnerable, there will be nobody and nothing there and we will get hurt.
But aren't you getting hurt living the strong black woman myth now? In your self-imposed isolation denying that you need regular human contact, love and partnership, aren't you hurting, and alone? When you go to an early grave because of hypertension or other stress-related disorders because you ran yourself ragged trying to prove how 'strong' you really are, who will you be helping? Who will you be showing? The world? The same world that supposedly does not care about you and that you supposedly don't need?
You can choose to let this myth go. Breathe deep, and let it go. Set it down gently...then kick it in the gutter.
There, you feel better already, right?

For the record, you started j.a.c.king our threads before we started interrupting yours.
I have no problem ignoring you as long as I can trust you to reciprocate. PS - you should really clean up your mouth. It's not becoming of you at all. How are you to be taken seriously when you can't utter a sentence without some expletive included? You're an educated person who should stop using street language.

Your Threads? Gee I didn't know you had a PATENT ON THIS BOARD, can I see a copy? Oh and BTW I'm not one of your little illegal alien parasites that needs your advice or for you to tell me what to do. When you bi-tches stop stalking and fu-cking with me with the juvenile bull-****, I will return to being my charming pleasant, intelligent, friendly self.

You obviously are new to forums and, therefore, have no forum etiquette. You invaded our threads intentionally and forcefully! Stop acting like the victim and grow the h.e.l.l up, Beverly! It's fine to present your side of the story here (even though this isn't a forum that supports illegal immigration - you need to get a clue on that), but to storm on here and start labeling people as breedmares and talking about removing women's uteruses, I'm sorry. Enough is enough. You are the USA's worst nightmare for promoting the kind of hatred that your people worked so hard to eradicate. You are a disgrace not only to your race, but to this great country.

Um . . no, Ms. Condescention . . .I've been on internet forums for years, just not one that illegal aliens and their supporters hurl personal attacks and then whine and whimper when I retaliate. The first day I posted here I was called a N-IGG-A, in this very thread and on numerous occasions I've been threatened with being raped by a Mexican by the retard known as "Babybeh" where was your outrage then or NOW? I've been on the internet in various forums, long before the illegal aliens invaded America and traitors like you posted loopholes in our laws to aid and abet illegals to fraudulently obtain citizenship. That being said, again SHOW ME THE PATENT YOU OR ANY OF YOUR FELLOW HARRASSERS, YOUR BUDDY THE RACIST HATEFUL SPAM ARTIST HAVE THAT GIVES YOU EXPRESS OWNERSHIP TO ANYTHING ON THIS BOARD?
When you do that then I will refrain from posting in what would legally be "YOUR THREADS". Simply because you and your illegal alien buddies have monopolized this board does not mean you OWN IT. THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD IS "IMMIGRATION DISCUSSION", NEWS FLASH; WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT THAT INCLUDES ILLEGAL ALIENS; NONE OF YOU are the MODERATORS nor does it give you the right to: (a) JUDGE ME BECAUSE I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS INVASION; (b) ATTACK ME WITH RACIAL SLURS AND JUVENILE PICTURES TO WIPE OUT ANY TRACE OF THE ARTICLES POSTED THAT VERIFY THE CRIMINAL INVASION AND ATTACK ON AMERICA. AS FAR AS MY RACE IS CONCERNED DON'T EVEN THINK PLAYING THE RACE CARD OF CONVENIENCE. BESIDES YOUR LOYALTY IS TO THE MEXICAN ILLEGAL ALIENS; YOU WHO HAVE FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES ARE A TREASONOUS TRAITOR THAT SHOULD HAVE YOUR CITIZENSHIP REVOKED . . THAT IS IF YOU REALLY ARE A US CITIZEN.
GROW UP, AND STOP PREACHING TO THE CHOIR WHEN ITS CONVENIENT FOR YOU TO HURL ACCUSATIONS. [b]FUNNY, I HAVE YET TO SEE YOUR ADMONISHMENT OF THE TROLL THAT POSTS RACIST PICTURES LIKE THE ONE IN THIS THREAD. WHERE'S YOUR OUTRAGE . . OH WAIT YOU "CHIME IN" TO SUPPORT THE RACIST BEHAVIOR OF YOUR ONLINE BUDDIES HARRASSING ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH YOUR SUPPORT OF ILLEGAL ALIENS.
YOUR IGNORANCE AND FALSE OWNERSHIP CLAIMS TO THIS BOARD WILL NOT STIFLE MY 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, SO GET OVER IT. WHEN YOU AND YOUR BUDDIES TREAT ME WITH RESPECT AND DIGNITY THEN I WILL RECIPROCATE. THE ONE THING I HOPE YOU HAVE ALL LEARNED: I'M AN AMOEBA THAT CAN GET DOWN IN THE MUD WITH THE LIKES OF THE RACIST PIGS ON THIS BOARD COZ I'M VERSATILE LIKE THAT. YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW WHEN YOU INSULT ME AND I RETALIATE AND AM CAPABLE OF AMPING IT UP WHEN NECESSARY. AS LONG AS THE STALKING, HARRASSING AND THE SPAMING CONTINUE, YOU WILL GET AS GOOD AND NASTY AS YOU GIVE.

Yes proud... it is not becoming of anybody here on this board. But I have to ask you.....
Why have you not commented on the original filth mouthers Explora's language has been horrible.. i was shocked and could not believe it. Talking about the "little girls" and what nots .and this Babybeh....the most foul and vulgar of all people on this board past and present. Even makes Son of Michael and SO12 look like choir boys. And... has no purpose here other than to use foul language because i have never seen this person answer any thread for immigration advice or post any articles related to immigration.
Come on now. Credibility is slipping fast. What is fair is fair 4all.
It is embarrasing for any newcomers to see this kind of trash being talked about. You expect this on other forums, but it was never like this here before, and it needs to stop.
