Illegal workers recruited, feds say

ALBANY — A vice president and three managers of a Texas pallet company with a factory in Guilderland were charged Thursday with bringing illegal immigrants into the U.S. to work, including here. The indictment is the latest development in the federal government’s case against IFCO Systems North America. Prosecutors have argued since April 2006, when federal immigration authorities raided 45 plants around the country, that IFCO managers systematically recruited illegal workers. During the April 2006 raid, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained more than 1,180 illegal workers. Among those, 24 of 26 pallet workers here were illegal; 18 of 19 in Rittman; 20 of 21 in Boston; and all 27 in St. Louis.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commenters reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.
