Travis Stoltz, 19, of Greeley, uses the glass door at the entrance of the Weld County Human Services office as a writing surface as he fills out an application for a job at the Swift & Co. meatpacking plant in Greeley. Applications were being taken for positions that opened because of Tuesday's raid by agents of the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.STORY TOOLS

GREELEY - The line of applicants hoping to fill jobs vacated by undocumented workers taken away by immigration agents at the Swift & Co. meat-processing plant earlier this week was out the door Thursday.
Among them was Derrick Stegall, who carefully filled out paperwork he hoped would get him an interview and eventually land him a job as a slaughterer. Two of his friends had been taken away by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and he felt compelled to fill their rubber boots.
"Luckily, they had no wives or family they left behind. But it was still sad. They left their apartments filled with all their stuff. I took two dogs one of them had. The other guy had a cat I gave to my sister," he said.
Greg Bonifacio heard about the job openings on television and brought his passport, his Colorado driver's license, his Social Security card and even a color photograph of himself as a young Naval officer to prove his military service.
"I don't want to hassle with any identification problems because of my last name," said Bonifacio, a 59- year-old Thornton resident of Filipino heritage.
As it turned out, the Colorado Workforce office that was taking applications did not require any identification.
That would come later for those who made it past the interview process.
Bonifacio was hoping to get a job in production or fabrication. So was Nathan Korgan, a former construction worker whose company closed and moved to California.
"I feel bad for the kids, but good for me," said Korgan of Tuesday's raid.
Like many others who had mixed emotions about the raid, Maxine Hernandez said she was upset that families were torn apart, but believes illegal immigrants should not get work using fake documents.
"I guess I'm in the middle," she said. "But I do think they should have planned (the raid) better so that innocent children wouldn't be left behind."
Hernandez, who had gone to the employment office because her husband was there to apply for unemployment insurance, decided to apply for a job at Swift on a whim.
"My whole family used to work there. My mom, my aunt, uncles," she said. "I guess it sort of runs in our blood."

HERE IS A LETTER TO THE EDITOR I am submitting.
Thu, 17 May 2007 17:34:12 -0400 (GMT-04:00)
Most of the time of course letters are NOT published.
MICHELE MALKIN WAS ON FOX NEWS YESTERDAY going after the 9/11 conspiracy theorists and Ron Paul's association with them.Michele Malkin was much tougher on Ron Paul than I am, appearing on since I DO NOT THINK THAT APPEARING ON A RADIO SHOW where the host has kooky ideas NECESSARILY MEANS THAT RON PAUL AGREES WITH the radio host. So I reserve judgment.

Dear Editor: Ron Paul revealed only a glimpse of his 9/11 problem at the Republican Presidentialdebates in South Carolina. I don't know if Paul has actually made accusationsthat the U.S. government or Mossad were behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks while appearing on conspiracy-oriented radio shows. But the 9/11 Kook Squad believes that Paul is their spokesman and has eagerly adopted him. As a result, liberal democrats, anti-war activists, and so-called "9/11 Truthers" are crossingParty lines to swamp call-in shows for Ron Paul. If Congressman Paul intends to stay in the race or even maintain his credibility,he needs to quickly dissociate himself from irresposible accusations that the governmentis guilty of 3,000 counts of mass murder. Not only are such ideas offensive, butthey are being used around the world to bash America and organize terrorist cellsagainst us. American's lives are endangered by such irresponsible anti-Americanpropaganda. For those who have not gone slumming on the internet, the 9/11 Kook Squad saysthat no airplanes hit the Pentagon or the World Trade Center, even though hundredsof thousands of eyes watched the planes hit live, in person. They refuse to acceptOsama Bin Laden's proud claims of responsibility for 9/11, instead "outing"Bin Laden as a paid CIA agent (?). (Where is Joe Wilson when you really need him?)They claim that 30 tons of burning jet fuel could not melt steel, even though steelloses 80% of its strength at 1000 degrees, and melting is totally irrelevant. A110 foot steel girder expands by 15 inches at 1000 degrees, causing a structure to twist or shatter. More than a dozen steel buildingns have failed from fire alone.Last month, a burning fuel truck caused the steel in a San Francisco highway overpassto melt and fail. These people are not interested in "answers" or "truth"but only in bashing America with falsehoods. It's the same old story. When liberals thought that 'Maverick'John McCain was useful for undermining George Bush and Republicans, McCain was thedarling of the news media and liberals pretending to be Republican voters. Now that McCain is supporting Bush's position on the dominant issue of the day, the mainstream news media has shunned McCain like an old mistress once the affairis over.
Ron Paul needs to separate himself from the kooks -- and fast. He has a long,proud record of independent thinking, that could be dragged under fast.
