Prosecutors say 300 suspected illegal immigrants detained after SC chicken plant raid
GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) -- Federal agents say they have detained more than 300 suspected illegal immigrants in a raid on a South Carolina chicken processing plant. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin McDonald says the raid began shortly before 9 a.m. Tuesday during a shift change at House of Raeford's Columbia Farms plant. Federal prosecutors and immigration agents have been investigating the plant's hiring practices. McDonald says 12 people have been arrested in past months, and seven have pleaded guilty. McDonald says a recent review of 825 workers' immigration paperwork showed false information for more than 775. A woman at the company's Rose Hill, N.C., headquarters had no immediate comment. The raid was in Greenville, about 100 miles southwest of Charlotte, N.C.

His style may be similar to JFK, but the substance couldn't be more different. Bottom line: Obama is more from the Teddy wing than the RFK wing of that particular family. And if I were Obama, the last person I'd be taking 'driving' lessons from would be Teddy.Obama takes big risk on driver's license issue Sen. Barack Obama easily won the African American vote in South Carolina, but to woo California Latinos, where he is running 3-to-1 behind rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, he is taking a giant risk: spotlighting his support for the red-hot issue of granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
