Immigration officials arrest 150 workers in massive raid on Texas trailer manufacturer

Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 150 undocumented immigrants working at a Texas-based trailer company Tuesday in one of the largest workplace raids in the last 10 years.

The raid was part of an ongoing criminal Homeland Security Investigation into Load Trail, a trailer-manufacturing business in Sumner, Texas.

The investigation began when HSI received tips that the company had knowingly hired undocumented immigrants, and that the illegal workers were using fraudulent identification documents, ICE said in a press release.

“Businesses that knowingly hire illegal aliens create an unfair advantage over their competing businesses,” said Special Agent in Charge Katrina Berger. “In addition, they take jobs away from U.S. citizens and legal residents, and they create an atmosphere poised for exploiting their illegal workforce.”

3. Hey Katrina, here's a tip for ya: go check out Mar-a-lago

You'll find a lot of "illegals" working there.

5. The owner should be arrested, too.

It makes no sense not to go after people who hire undocumented workers. They wouldn't cross into this country if they didn't assume there would be a job for them.

6. Can't do that!!

If they were to arrest the owner, then that person couldn't give a campaign contribution to the Republicans!

7. Gee who did the owner vote for? Oh wait, don't tell me!

[gratuitous]

8. Four years ago, the company was fined $445,000 for hiring undocumented workers

According to the story. I wonder if that was punishment enough, given these latest events? I guess we'll never know.
