An informant's tip led to a raid on a potato processing plant in Monte Vista that resulted in 19 allegedly illegal workers being detained.
The Pueblo Chieftain reported it had obtained court documents detailing the 11-month investigation that led to the raid Tuesday.
Three U.S. citizens working at the plant were arrested.
The informant, an employee, reported the plant manager had publicly stated that he preferred illegal immigrants because they were cheaper to hire.

Illegal immigrants do not belong in this country. They have a country of their own and ALL should be sent back to Mexico and companies that hired illegals should be fined very heavily.

Until the employers have to pay heavy fines for hiring Illegal's, nothing will change. Legal US Citizens have to make their voices heard by all the Politicians, NO Amnesty!
