More criminal charges in meatpacker raid

GREELEY, Colo. (AP) - About 220 meat-processing workers who were detained in immigration raids last month face criminal charges including identity theft, federal officials said Friday. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had initially announced criminal charges for only 65 of the 1,282 Swift & Co. employees rounded up in the raid. All 1,282 face immigration charges, which are administrative rather than criminal. Neither Swift & Co. nor any current or former manager faces charges, Swift CEO Sam Rovit said Friday.

    As long as we pay people not to work we will have a problem with illegal immigrants.
