The Salt Lake Tribune offers an in-depth take on illegal immigration that, if nothing else, illustrates how morally complex and convoluted the issue is. Only opportunist politicians try to make a solution sound simple: Deport them. Amnesty. Build a fence. Guest workers.

"Life After the Swift Raids," an immigration package by Jennifer Sanchez, Kristen Moulton and Tom Harvey — with photos by Leah Hogsten — focuses on the lives of several immigrants arrested in the notorious Swift meat packing plant raid in Cache County. It also looks into the needs of businesses and the impact on citizens who had their identities stolen to provide document forgeries.

Yes, the impoverished residents of La Huacana broke the law to come to Cache County. But the rest of their story is familiar to any Utahn descended from immigrants. They risked their lives and faced hardship to come to a new land, hoping for a better life. They provided labor for an industry desperate for workers. They helped provide Americans with cheap food and products.

As presidential candidates and the Utah Legislature struggle daily to find answers to immigration, "Life after the Swift Raids" offers only some insight — immigration policy is about people.
