They ended up getting busted and raided by ICE one night in ILN after ICE found out that the hundreds of illegals hired by Garcia and vetted by ABX were using just a handful of Social Security numbers.
Actually not a lot of the farmers left. The sort just expanded so much that there wasn't enough of them. And I tell you what when Aerosmith started the test sort a few months ago there were plenty of local applicants.
I am not sure how important Wilimington is going to be to Amazon. The Wall Street article I read today indicated they're not that interested in having a traditional hub and spoke system.
