Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Well, whaddya know?&#160 The Dullest Moaning Snooze finds itself actually good for something.

For once.

About three weeks after running a series of articles about Cactus, Texas – a town up near the Oklahoma panhandle, the Immigration guys finally nutted up and busted some pendejos.

The federal raid that shut down the Swift & Co. meatpacking plant Tuesday in Cactus, Texas, left hundreds of families scattered and the future unclear for a town that survives on a mix of illegal immigration and dangerous work.

Translation:&#160 Swift was violating the law; so were these illegal alien boyos chingos; they got their asses caught red-handed and went scurrying like the cucarachas&#160 they are, and now Swift gets to look forward to actually paying for legal&#160 labor.&#160 Did I get that about right?

The Cactus beef processing plant – the only big thing in a very small place – was one of six Swift plants in six states that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents hit during the early morning to break up what the government called a nationwide network that supplied illegal immigrants with authentic documents – Social Security cards and birth certificates of real people – to get jobs at Swift.

Of course, this article is focusing on the so-called “plight” of these illegal aliens.&#160 Never once in this articla did any thought whatsoever go towards the American citizens&#160 whose Social Security numbers – and identities – were stolen.

Guess that wouldn’t have been politically correct enough, would it?

While agents targeted a company that bills itself as the world’s second-largest processor of beef and pork, members of Congress praised the crackdown in the name of immigration reform. But uncertainty and chaos engulfed the little Moore County crossroads of about 5,000 people – many of them illegal immigrants, according to local officials.

The Swift plant remained closed Tuesday evening – as did Cactus, for all practical purposes.

Poor babies.&#160 Guess they should’ve thought of that before&#160 they crossed the border illegally, eh what?

Hundreds of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from across the country were at the Swift plant, checking room by room for illegal immigrants in an action they called Operation Wagon Train. Agents brought 11 buses to take detainees to local jails, where sheriffs and police chiefs were making room.

“People are being bused out, and people are very, very frightened,” said Jim Papian of the United Food and Commercial Workers International, a union with a labor contract at the Cactus plant.

As they should be.&#160 It’s about farkin’ time&#160 that the illegal fucksticks had to start looking over their shoulders a bit.

“And there are reports of herding and segregating workers.”

“Git along there, li’l doggie”.&#160 Mheh.

Swift lashed out at the raids, complaining in a prepared statement that they violated longstanding agreements with federal officials on monitoring the immigration status of the company’s workers. The actions also “raise serious questions as to the government’s possible violation of individual workers’ civil rights,” the company said.

Translation:&#160 “They’re infringing on our Constitutional right to cheap, illegal labor!!!!!!!!!&#160 WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!1″

“Swift has never condoned the employment of unauthorized workers, nor have we ever knowingly hired such individuals,” president and CEO Sam Rovit said. “Swift has played by the rules and relied in good faith on a program explicitly held out by the president of the United States as an effective tool to help employers comply with applicable immigration laws.”

“We blithely turn our heads and look the other way while the ca$h just rollllllllllls right in on the backs of our illgal slaves workers!”

Good for ICE.&#160 And Swift, don’t count on my&#160 business anytime soon, you fucking pissweasels.

   Unfortunately, you can be sure that Swift has reloaded with new illegals by now, due to our excuse for a border. Swift picks them up on our side, trucks them in, shells out for the fake IDs and then puts them to work.
   Here in Arizona, Swift has found a cheaper source of labor than illegals – prison inmates – so they don’t use as many Mexicans.
