Federal agents found more than two dozen minors illegally working inside a poultry plant in Kidron, Ohio, earlier this month, according to local immigration advocates who spoke to NBC News on the condition of anonymity.

The children, mainly from Guatemala, according to the advocates, were working in meat processing and sanitation in a plant run by Gerber’s Poultry, which produces Amish Farm Chicken, advertised with the slogan “Better feed, better taste.”

    Of course, the horrific flip side to this is that the end result (hopefully with the companies actually getting in trouble) is still going to be to deport all these kids.

    And if they can’t find their parents, I would expect they’d just stick them on a plane and kick them out of the airport on the other end in Guatemala.
