In cased you missed it (ICYMI), The Arkansas Democrat Gazette, NW Edition, on Wednesday reported on a federal raid on the offices of a Oregon food-processing plant suspected of employing hundreds of illegal workers who used Social Security numbers that belonged to other people or were made up. More than 165 plant workers were detained to be processed for possible deportation. More may have been detained but the raid involved fewer than 600 workers because of seasonal employment changes and shift work. A check of employee records by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement showed that only 48 of nearly 600 workers at the plant had valid Social Security numbers. Federal prosecutors said that 20 of the Social Security numbers being misused belonged to people 60 or older and that 29 belonged to dead people. Ever wonder what would have happened if the raid had been on one of Arkansas' poultry processing plants?Tags: false social security numbers, fraud, illegal immigration To share or post to your site, click on "Post Link".
