So...The Union called La Migra
<<LAUREL, Miss. - The largest single-workplace immigration raid in U.S. history has caused panic among Hispanic families in this small southern Mississippi town, where federal agents rounded up nearly 600 plant workers suspected of being in the country illegally.

One worker caught in Monday's sweep at the Howard Industries transformer plant said fellow workers applauded as immigrants were taken into custody. Federal officials said a tip from a union member prompted them to start investigating several years ago.

Fabiola Pena, 21, cradled her 2-year-old daughter as she described a chaotic scene at the plant as the raid began, followed by clapping.>>

1. Now start hiring Americans, Howard Industries, and PAY THEM A FAIR WAGE
and TREAT THEM RIGHT.

No more hiring illegals to save $$$ to line your evil pockets with.

Go UNIONS!
