Swift action required!

It was good to see the raids by ICE officers starting to enforce United States laws regarding identity theft and immigration that resulted in the round up of several hundred illegal immigrants. Enforcement of our laws shows people that we are a nation of laws and that corruption will not be tolerated. But, it seems a tolerance of corruption is occurring at Swift Foods judging from the comments of it's CEO and President Sam Rovit. Who yesterday instead of praising the enforcement of U.S. law and the weeding out from his company's workforce law breakers. Instead CEO Rovit criticized the actions of our Federal law enforcement officers. Here is an example:

"Swift believes that today's actions by the government . . . raise serious questions as to the government's possible violation of individual workers' civil rights." -CEO Sam Rovit

What about the rights of those U.S. citizens who have had their identity stolen by employees your company hired Mr. Rovit? It seems Mr. Rovit would rather have employees who violate our laws working for him than have our government enforce our laws. If this is the attitude at the highest levels of the Swift Corporation consumers should consider it when buying Swift products in the supermarket and also send Mr. Rovit and Swift Foods a message. Here is the corporate contact information:
