I don't doubt that, but I edited my original comment to add he also made it quite clear that he was cooperating fully with ICE and seemed taken aback that they suggested he could have denied them entrance and said he would never do that. That bit made me think that, while he may have had suspicions, he was not helping them to forge documentation or facilitating it. Of course, I guess a savvy con man might be convincing.

Place doesn't even offer a 401k for its workers. Yea that CEO knew he had illegals.

He was probably paying them shite wages off the books.

What is he supposed to do exactly? The federal government set up e-Verify, and he says he used it on every single employee. What are the requirements for him to be compliant? If he is compliant, what will you fine him for? I agree that employers who knowingly hire illegals should suffer the consequences. But what measures should they be required to take at their own expense to determine an employee's legal status outside of what the government requires? ETA: he also made it quite clear that he was cooperating fully with ICE and seemed taken aback that they suggested he could have denied them entrance and said he would never do that.
This really points out the total government shite show that has been created by “politicizing” this issue.

That’s a BS answer

He 100% knew. He just had a good excuse handy.

I wonder if the general public truly realizes the working conditions of many meat plants. Destitute illegals and felons. Awful awful work.

I imagine that penalty is about 100x worse than hiring an illegal. I also imagine you’re just throwing shite against the wall and don’t know what you’re talking about

That may save his arse from going to jail this time, if it happens again, he is screwed.

You don't think this guy knows he employs a bunch of illegals? In Omaha? Let me tell you, I was born and raised in this area. If an employer has a rep for hiring illegals, whether in Omaha or just north in Sioux City where I'm from, the entire city knows it, and trust me, the owner knows of his business's reputation.
He knew. He just ignored it because he followed "the law" and reaped the benefits of suppressed wages.
That crap has been going on in the food production industry in the Midwest since the corporations successfully broke the unions in the 70s and 80s.
Crap on unions all you want, but life was much better in this region when they existed and held these money grubbing opportunists in check.

Thank you. You know. I assume you're from Nebraska. South Dakota here, live in the tri-state region. I'm looking across the Missouri at the bluffs of Nebraska as I type this.

Right.
But they'll tell you that Americans will definitely do that work

We still have a lot of union meat plants around here. Monfort in Grand Island, Farmland in Crete and I think Tyson in South Sioux City.
I know Farmland in Crete pays around 30 for floor workers and yea they have a lot of immigrants but they are 50/50 white and immigrant and from what ive heard they're pretty picky on who they hire.
Non-union plants like the ones that got hit today pay slave wages below $18/hr and no benefits. frick em.

Yea im in south central NE. We have a ton of meat plants here. The ones that are still union pay well and have a good blend of American workers and immigrants but the non union ones look like 3rd world countries and pay shite.
There is a cold storage facility in Lincoln that I know for a fact has illegals working there. They pay sub minimum wage 1099 employees. They do cold storage for Tyson, Farmland Smithfield and a few others.

Improve working conditions and pay/benefits and they will.
You can't just have shite conditions/pay and then proclaim "Americans are spoiled and won't do these jobs!".
Its like working an electrical engineer 80hrs a week for 40k and year and then claim we needs pageets because Americans "don't want to work".

Tyson in South Sioux City.
Nope. Had a front row seat growing up in Sioux City in the 80s when IBP broke the unions.
"Don't throw rocks at me, I don't scab at IBP!" was the bumper sticker of the times.
I cannot tell you enough how when that happened "The Beef" brought in illegals by the truckloads, suppressed wages in the entire region, and turned the cities and towns they were in to crap.
Sioux City, Storm Lake, Waterloo in Iowa to name a few.
I had uncles who worked at IBP in the 70s. Great jobs. High paying jobs. Lots of money in the region. Went to crap.
This one kind of hits home for me.
ETA - for those that don't know, Tyson bought IBP. Also, Tyson and the other major ag companies are neck deep in this. If it's not outright hiring illegals it's importing H2A workers by the truckloads, working the piss out of them, then turning them loose on our towns and cities where they remain as illegals.
The Ag Corporations need cleaned up if the illegal immigration issue is to be solved

What kind of jail time are illegals with fake IDs, SS#, etc, getting?
I’m guessing not much, if any.
Start putting them in prison and deporting them will solve that.
I get we need stronger borders and we need to do all in our power to stop illegal immigration in its tracks..
This will be a very unpopular opinion, but once they are here and gainfully employed, I have a tough time pulling them out of that job and throwing them into prison. You are taking a productive (or at worst a potentially productive) member of society and turning them into a huge cost center and creating a tax payer burden. I would rather fine them/garnish a percentage of wages, collect DNA and put them into the system while giving them a path to citizenship.
You want to round up every one of them not employed and/or on federal assistance and slap them on an un air-conditioned bus to Juarez, I would have I have no issues using tax dollars to fund every step of the process.
