Haveil Havalim #173 (Carnival of Jewish Blogs) now posted


I didn’t actually feel that any of my posts this week were Haveil Havalim #173-worthy, but the purveyor, Jack, did – thank you, Jack.

The post of mine which he chose is about immigration, ICE raids and the general ignorance of the topic by the presidential candidates of late.  However, what I really was thinking about when I wrote that piece was the raid in May at a kosher meat plant in Iowa. No employer is immune from using immigrants as a shield for profit but I don’t actually know what was going on there, even though, on its face, it’s incredibly disturbing.

Here’s a recent report about a lawsuit filed by the detained workers which was voluntarily dismissed from federal court and here’s an article about what Agriprocessor is saying.

Other than what I’ve read on the Internet in these articles, I know nothing about the situation.  Please, comment if you know more.
