GOP U.S. Senator Employs Undocumented Workers?

By immigrationprof

Smith_highres_sm Huffington Post reports on a story that Oregon GOP Senator Gordon Smith’s company (Smith Frozen Foods) has employed low wage Latina/o (including some undocumented) immigrants.   Smith made news in 2007 in shifting his position on immigration to become more enforcement-oriented.

UPDATE For more on this story, see here.  Smith was interviewed about the claims on talk radio. Smith has been a vocal opponent of hiring undocumented immigrants. For more on Smith’s hiring practices, including quotes from a worker at Smith Frozen Foods, check out the story here.
