I'm curious about the raids that recently took place at the Swift & Co. meat packing plants. The CEO, Sam Rovit, said that "the company has never knowingly hired illegal workers and does not condone the practice," according to the article. Elsewhere in the article it says that "the company estimated a raid would remove up to 40 percent of its 13,000 workers."

It seems to me that the company thought, by its own estimate, that 40% of the workers were illegal. Doesn't that mean that they were knowingly hiring illegals? Maybe I've got it all wrong, but something just doesn't jive.

I'm sorry to bring such a topic to an otherwise family-friendly place. My deepest apologies. PSYCH!
