This is just wrong!

For years, our businesses and our government have winked at latin American migrant workers. Tyson didn't go to jail for his participation in thousands of undocumented workers crossing the border to work in his plants. Thousands of business owners in America that entice these people with jobs and opportunity didn't go to jail, but now we've actually put 270 workers -- NOT THE PEOPLE WHO EMPLOYED THEM -- in jail.

In temporary courtrooms at a fairgrounds here, 270 illegal immigrants were sentenced this week to five months in prison for working at a meatpacking plant with false documents.
