GC Donald Wiseman says that Swift & Co. has been working for years on ways to identify illegal aliens during its hiring process, such as participating in a government-recommended screening program. However, the meat processor's efforts failed to dissuade Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials from carrying out a massive raid in December and shutting down all but one of the company's seven facilities. "ICE's position seems to be that no matter what you've done, it's not good enough," says Wiseman.

When federal immigration officials staged a massive raid on Swift & Co. last December, Wiseman wasn’t surprised. The government had been looking for illegal aliens in Swift’s workforce for months, and Wiseman knew that immigration agents were planning to show up en masse at the meat processor’s plants.
