This is a very interesting story.


Jim Oberweis is a candidate for Governor of Illinois and is outspoken in his opposition to illegal immigration. From the internal investigation performed by Oberweis, it appears he has indeed been a victim of a smear campaign orchestrated by ICIRR and CWC.

The basic story is that 2 illegals were video taped cleaning an Oberweis store. They had apparently been hired by a sub contractor named Patmar Janitorial. The illegals alleged they were paid less than half of the minimum wage and filed a complaint against Oberweis for back pay. The video and photos of the illegals can be seen on http://www.icirr.org/oberweis.htm.

The Chicago Minuteman Project issued a press release calling for the immediate deportation of the illegals involved in this scam. I called ICE and gave them all the info reported in the papers as well as the website where their photos could be seen.

This afternoon, I received an update from the Oberweis campaign which is extremely enlightening! Read it here: http://view.exacttarget.com/?ffcb10-fe8 ... 15797c6d05
