No harm? Most illegals in Mississippi ICE raids stole Americans’ identities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of the 680 illegal immigrants nabbed in August\u2019s immigration raids at poultry plants in Mississippi worked under stolen American identities, the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s top investigator told Congress Thursday, rebuffing Democrats who insisted the \u201cundocumented\u201d workers were doing no harm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey stole the IDs of 400 U.S. citizens,\u201d said Jere Miles, who leads Homeland Security Investigations\u2019 New Orleans office. \u201cWhere\u2019s their voice?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Miles was defending the Aug. 7 operations against seven processing plants as both a success and a deterrent to future illegal immigrants, battling with Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee who called a field hearing in Mississippi to criticize the raids.<\/p>\n

The raids have become a major flashpoint in the immigration debate, with activists complaining that they were conducted cruelly, on the first day of school for the workers\u2019 children, and without warning to local authorities or social welfare agencies.<\/p>\n

That left children waiting after class to be picked up by parents who would never show, because they ended up in detention. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement did immediately release 303 of the 680 for humanitarian reasons such as young children at home, but some migrants are still in detention and critics said children are still separated.<\/p>\n

More galling, according to the Democrats who convened the hearing, is that none of the managers at the poultry processing businesses has been charged.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou picked on the undocumented persons, to the exclusion of the employers,\u201d said Rep. Al Green, Texas Democrat.<\/p>\n

Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat and chairman of the committee, said he\u2019s working to make sure the illegal immigrants get paid for the work they did \u2014 as illegal as it may have been.<\/p>\n

He said he has heard tales of employers who wait to see their workers arrested and then pocket the wages they had promised to pay.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should have received a paycheck,\u201d Mr. Thompson said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been working with various agencies to make sure that happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
