    Plea for Justice

    I'm not one to post vanity threads, as such, but I received an important e-mail earlier today, which I thought I'd share with you.

    Hi NY ICers,

    My friend and NY ICE Member, Karen's, son was killed in 2005 by the shoddy workmanship of an illegal alien construction worker. The illegal alien also had a fake social security number.

    She lives in Washington State.

    She has asked me to disseminate her story, which follows. What she would like you to do to help appears at the end of the text. I know I will personally call their governor, Governor Christine Gregoire at 360.902.4111 to tell her that I want laws enacted that would require that illegal aliens at a job site, like construction, whose shoddy workmanship results in a citizen's death, be reported to Immigration and Customs (ICE). I will, as always, get the name of whatever political aide I speak to her at her office, and report-back to Karen.

    If you are thinking that these phone calls don't bring results, I disagree. I think that it was largely a result of our phone calls and contacts to NYS ex-Governor Spitzer that thwarted his plan to license illegal aliens. Left alone, most politicians are perfectly happy ignoring us. But, if we *bother* politicans enough to do their job of protecting the American people, at least we have a chance that they will give us what we want just to make us go away.

    Keep fighting.

    Karen's letter follows. I hope you read it:

    TO ALL AMERICANS
    This is for you,
    December 30, 2005, my son went to work with his lunch cooler packed full of favorite food, sandwiches, Twinkies, and lots of fruit! He said good bye to his little 2 ½ year old son, kissed the love of his life who was 9 months pregnant good bye, and drove to the construction site where they were building a dental complex. By 9:30 a.m. that morning, a 2000 lb. wall came crashing to the floor, pinning my son to the floor, where he lay dying under that wall.... While his two older sons were at school and looking forward to spending that night and weekend with their dad, something they did every weekend, his lifeless body was laying in an ambulance alone, and waiting for the coroner. Two days later, his 4th little son was born....

    The man, who placed that inadequate I-Bolt in the wall, appears to be an illegal immigrant working in our country under a false SSN. As a matter of fact, there are 17 other names on that same SSN! Washington State Labor and Industry department shut the job site down for almost a month while working their investigation. I was told by an investigator that several of the men were in need of some counseling but were afraid to ask for fear of "Being in trouble".

    I was also told that the owner of the construction company was told to take care of it; however he was balking, and didn't seem to be in any hurry. Now these men I have since learned, had trouble speaking English, and had to write their statements to the police officer, in Spanish! Wouldn't you think all this should play an important part in the investigation of an Americans death? Apparently not!

    The Washington State Labor and Industry (whose job by the way, is to maintain and create a safe work place for our workers) didn't report the fact that the men directly involved appeared to be illegal immigrants, who even had trouble speaking English! Do you think it's possible they didn't know the proper I-Bolt size because of this? My son's death is listed as an ACCIDENT....

    One year after the fact, I contacted the L&I department asking them who they turned the illegals involved with my son's death in to. The answer was, "We didn't!" When I asked them why, the answer was, "It's called Profiling".......

    I have since contacted the county Prosecutors office and faxed them a full report of what I'd found out. All the names on the same SSN as well. I ask them to charge someone with my son's death. They won't.
    I then faxed the same paperwork to the Police Department involved with the investigation, asking them to charge someone with my son's death. I told them it was Negligent Homicide at least! Then won't!

    I've contacted our ICE agency sending them the same report, requesting them to fine the employer and the illegals with felonies, and to charge someone with my son's death! They said they can't charge anyone with a death. They can only fine the employer if they prove he knew they were illegal, and deport any illegals.

    I've learned that big business in this area, has made it clear they don't want problems or anyone making waves over possible illegals. I've also learned, the governor (who is running for another term) is all for the illegals and welcomes them here.

    I've had it with everyone protecting the illegals in the face of an Americans death! How many other Americans have been killed by illegals, only to have it reported as an ACCIDENT! Our politicians, police department, state OSHA or L&I department are all covering for the illegals. What are we going to do about this people? Do we sit back and complain while we allow it to continue, or do we raise hell, right now, and demand this be dealt with and someone be charged with Negligent Homicide!

    Contact your Governors and tell them this story. Tell them you won't allow this in your state!

    Contact your police departments, and tell them the same thing!
    Then contact your politicians telling them the same!!

    Last but not least, contact my Governor and tell her what you think! Tell her you are backing me in demanding that a law be put in place where any and all illegals at a job site involved with an injury or death, be reported to ICE! Make it a law!!

    Last , you might remind them that anyone aiding and abetting illegals in this country is a felon! No one is above the law either!

    Governor Christine Gregoire: 360-902-4111 fax: 360-753-4110

    Sen. Patty Murray Seattle office, 206-553-5545 Washington DC
    office, 202-224-2621 fax : 202-224-0238

    Sen. Maria Cantwell Seattle office, 206-220-6400 Washington DC office, 202-224-3441 fax: 202-228-0514

    Call anyone you can think of who will join us in trying to make people understand just what is happening in our country. Call Radio stations, news papers, politicians, anyone. I want my son's death acknowledged as a Negligent Homicide! And I want the illegal and the employer, prosecuted as felons!

    To me it sounds like the contractor who hired the illegal alien was also at fault.
    I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

    The article doesn't give the name of the son that died.

    Shapka - if you're checking back on this thread, can you find that and post it back here? Such details like that help a lot in communicating with the elected critters (eg. being as specific as possible).

    Incidentally, Washington is one of the handful of states that still give DLs to IAs ()

    The number of votes received by Gregoire was so little over the amount received by her opponent that it is safe and reasonable to say that she was elected by votes illegally cast by illegal aliens.

    Thanks for noticing that. I overlooked that in the original e-mail. I'll be sure to ask Joanna about that next time and update the info here.
