Right-wing sites that object to the hiring of illegals, just as Coulter does. Tyson Foods and Swift and Co., however, have been in the news recently as targets of massive government raids at their meat-packing plants, where hundreds of purported illegals were arrested. These were people doing the actual packing. I understand that Wal-Mart stores were also raided. Apparently their cleaning and maintenance contractors were hiring illegals with Wal-Mart's full knowledge and approval. The government sued, and Wal-Mart settled. When the company knows its contractors are hiring illegals, it erases any ethical distinction between the contractor and the company.
