KeepArkansasLegal: SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Seven employees of poultry processor George's Inc. were arrested Wednesday on federal charges of hiring illegal aliens at a Southwest Missouri plant that was raided by immigration authorities in May. John F. Wood, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Missouri, said the indictments and arrests show that no one is above the law when it comes to hiring illegal workers. . . . Immigration agents and police raided the Butterfield plant in May. They arrested 136 people -- mainly from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador -- on suspicion of being illegal immigrants. . . . All seven were indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts each related to hiring and harboring illegal immigrants. Those charges are felonies that each carry a maximum 10 years in prison. In addition, (three) were each charged with aiding and abetting aggravated identity theft for allegedly helping illegal immigrants use valid Social Security numbers from other people. Comment by KeepArkansasLegal: . . . I'm proud of ICE and the State of Missouri for going after this company, but since our State Attorney General Dustin McDaniel works for the Hillary Clinton Campaign, it's unlikely that there's going to be any legal action from Arkansas.
