Business owner plans rally against amnesty for illegals
http://www.thetimesnews.com/articles/ol ... _once.html
Kim Oliver did it once. Saturday, he’ll do it again.
Oliver, owner of O&S Concrete, located just outside Burlington in Alamance County, is organizing a protest against amnesty for illegal immigrants this weekend in Graham.
Oliver says illegal immigration hurts small business and the economy. He’s organized a rally at the Graham courthouse square from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday.
The Graham Police Department approved the permit, allowing up to 100 people at a time to gather there during the day.
Oliver held a similar protest at the same site earlier this month and about 60 people gathered to protest at different points during the day, he said.
Oliver says business has suffered at the hands of illegal immigrants’ businesses that will do the work cheaply because they don’t have to report taxes. Several years ago, he had a thriving business working with 17 contractors and taking home, after business expenses, about $79,000 each year. Now, he only works with three contractors and says he’s lucky to make $30,000 a year.
