"No civil or criminal charges, including charges that Pilgrim's
knowingly hired these employees or conspired to hire them, have been filed
against the company in any of these cases
. Pilgrim's Pride cooperated fully
with ICE and the U.S. Attorney's office to help them apprehend these
individuals. In fact, it was Pilgrim's Pride that uncovered the identity
theft situation in Batesville and notified the federal government, and we
worked closely with them to identify those individuals who were apprehended
at the Batesville site.
Yup that's what to expect everyone, of course they didn't know...

Oh! Right! Back in July of 2007 they obviously knew they had a problem:

And just like thousands of other employers they're beginning to 'clean up their act'.

Yep, employer sanction laws and citizen anger actually IS a motivating factor in the business world.

GOOD NEWS!!!

Yeppers.

Along those lines: I suspect that many otherwise ethical employers who felt 'forced' to hire illegal immigrants over Americans/green card holders are secretly glad now---------said employers no longer have to compete with the truly unscrupulous companies who gladly hire the 'undocumented'.
