Your March 16th
story by June Kronholz, “Business
Groups Fault U.S. Plan to Identify Illegal Workers,”
about the use of the federal government's on line
employer
Basic Pilot Employment Verification Program
began by noting that Tyson Foods currently uses the
system.
However, you
failed to inform your readers that Tyson Foods is
currently a defendant in a RICO class action for
knowingly employing vast numbers of
illegal workers.
Tyson President John
Tyson,
Archie Schaffer (whom you quoted), and three
other top officials of the
company are also named as defendants for their
role in this massive conspiracy to violate the
nation's immigration laws.
Their
illegal hiring racket is perpetrated because the
company and its leadership know most of their
workers are using stolen identity documents so that
they can fraudulently pass the screening test.
Thus, the company
uses Basic Pilot as a fig leaf to conceal its
scheme.
One solution
is for the government to post photos on line to
detect the fraudulent use of identity documents.
Another solution,
supported by the Journal editorial page, is
to repeal our immigration laws altogether.
A third, which I
favor, is to
enforce immigration laws by stepped up
crackdowns of employers like Tyson and through
private lawsuits like mine.
For your
information, I am
lead counsel in the Tyson class action for the
plaintiffs, the legal workers at seven of Tyson's
chicken processing plants.
