#1 The aggressive nature of the raid, and the speed with which federal officials moved more than half the workers 2,400 miles away to Texas detention facilities, drew criticism both in the United States

from the usual transnational and special interest group suspects

and in Latin America.

from family members expecting their Western Union money transfers.

#2 And let's remember Article 33 of the Mexican Constitution -

Article 33 - Foreigners are those who do not possess the qualities determined in Article 30. They have the right to the guarantees of Chapter I of the first title of this Constitution, but the Executive of the Union has the exclusive right to expel from the national territory, immediately and without necessity of judicial proceedings, all foreigners whose stay it judges inconvenient. Foreigners may not, in any manner, involve themselves in the political affairs of the country.

#4 This is tooooo good. So a group of people conducting an illegal activity want a third party to pay them for said illegal work. Or do I have that wrong? FYI if they (the illegals) win this case it will mark the slow and eventual elimination of these types of contractors and a by-product a sharp decline in illegal workers.

#5 Foreigners may not, in any manner, involve themselves in the political affairs of the country.

Hmmm... I sense a candidate for the next Amendment to the US Constitution.

#7 Are we now in the asylum looking out ? The damn judge better shitcan this as soon as it appears on the docket. And I hope he/she breaks into peels of uncontrollable laughter as it gets tossed into the circular file.

#8 Workers including 361 illegal immigrants were cheated of hundreds of thousands of dollars in overtime pay at a factory at the center of a high-profile raid in Massachusetts, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday.

Boo-fucking-hoo. You can't cheat a cheater. They paid their money and took their chanskes. Shipping them all out to Bumfuck, Texas was a brilliant step. Disconnect all of them from any support structure and jurisdictional pro bono legal bottom feeders. These assclowns have no legal rights. Time to make that stick.

#9 Way I see it let them sue and win teaches the company not to hire illegals, then the federal govt takes the money for fines against the illegals and uses it for border wall. :)
