Untouchables needed to fight illegal alien related corruption ...As many people who have seriously looked at our present immigration mess can tell you, most of America today, is as corrupt as was Chicago in Capone's day.

what you toss in the trash An Associated Press story quotes an illegal alien who says he purchased a pay stub with someone's Social Security number for $80.

Editorial Uprooting Illegal Hiring Workers and business leaders alike should cheer the Immigration and Naturalization Service's 2- 1/2- year investigation of Tyson Foods' labor practices, an inquiry that concluded last week with a 36- count grand jury indictment of the nation's largest poultry processor.
