GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) - One of the South Carolina poultry plant
workers arrested this summer in an illegal immigration probe has
pleaded guilty to lying about his Social Security number.

Daniel Badillo-Baca pleaded guilty in federal court in
Greenville yesterday to using a fake Social Security number in his
employment paperwork at North Carolina-based House of Raeford
Farms.

Last month, seven former workers pleaded guilty to identity
theft and admitted they used fake identities to work for the
company.

The Charlotte Observer reported in February that plant managers
knew some workers were in the U.S. illegally. The trial of a human
resources manager accused in the case has been delayed until later
this year.
