Thread: Illegal Aliens Earns $70.00 Daily; Employer: D. Bryer Paving

Illegal Immigrants Working In Ohio County:

WTOV9.com News Story

The total number of illegal immigrants arrested in Ohio County reached 80 after officers stopped four illegal immigrants from Mexico today.

According to the Sheriff's Department, these immigrants are working in the Ohio County.

"The sad part is, the last seven have been working here. The previous 73 were traveling through on the interstate," said Ohio County Sheriff Tom Burgoyne. "Now, we've got them stopping off and actually doing work here."

Police say the four illegal Mexican immigrants stopped today worked for a Pennsylvania business called D. Bryer Paving, and had jobs in Short Creek.

Ohio County Sheriff's Deputy John Haglock says the immigrants followed the employer to the Ohio Valley from Florida and made $70 a day for their work.

However, police are not sure if the business is legal and will be investigating.

"He's from Florida with a Florida driver's license," said Haglock. "He sets up a post office box in Pennsylvania and then applies for a West Virginia contractor's license and he's doing business here in Ohio County and the state of West Virginia."

Now, the Sheriff's Department is going after businesses that hire illegal immigrants.

"It's our job to turn these facts over to the West Virginia Department of Labor and that's what we're doing today. We're going to let them investigate not only in West Virginia, but their counterparts in other states," said Burgoyne.

So, this is one of the jobs Americans citizens will not employ. Many unemployed citizens would love to have a job earning $70.00 a day.

Ohio County is in West Virginia with the big city being Wheeling .. the poverty rate / Unemployment for US Citizens is through the roof in this area

I worked for Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel from 1976 - 1986, the industry was in decline. Working in Steubenville, Follansbee, Yorkville, Martins Ferry and Benwood was quite an experience. Plus a USW strike and two bankruptcies. Most of these Ohio Valley steel mills have closed. Weirton was shut down and Wheeling was purchased by a Russian company. However a new galvanize coating line is operating in Follansbee, WV ~ Wheeling - Nisshin.

Many other steel companies have closed, AK, Beth., LTV, etc. Much of the steel you but today, is made overseas. The World Bank would help finance a steel mill in the far east, but not Pittsburgh.

The USA basically has two remaining steel companies; USS and Nucor. USS is fully integrated and has survived with a FULLY funded pension plan. Nucor is using thin slab casing technology.

Give me those guys from USW District six and put us on the same pay scale, and we would out produce ANYONE in the world. Great people ! People in the Valley would give you the shirt off their back, if you needed help. Just don't try and cross'em.

A few of the mines still operate, but the coal has too much sulphur.

Denzel Washington's movie "Unstoppable" was partially filmed in Bellaire, OH. Bellaire is just south of Martins Ferry and across the river from Wheeling.

"Now, we've got them stopping off and actually doing work here."

This is precisely why illegal immigration has finally come to national attention. 15 to 20 years ago when IAs remained in the cities middle America didn't give a damn. When prop 187 was pushed aside in CA hardly anyone, anywhere in America, took notice. Now though the situation effects even small town USA and citizens there are asking, "How the Heck did this happen?" More importantly they're now asking "How the heck can we stop it?"

Having lived in both large cities and a few small towns I'm proud to say I have a perspective of life in the USA that most do not. The old attitude of "Family first. neighborhood second, town, area, state, then nation in order of caring has become obsolete. The nation is now what needs to be first and foremost in everyone's attitude! JMO

(Note: where I say heck remove the ck and replace with ll. )

oh my lord.... I LOVE DiCarlo's Pizza and go out of my way for Colman's Fish Market and the Pizza Hut was where we hung out after football games with Central Cathedrel High School ... the Christmas parade was amazing... when Wheeling was thriving there was not to many places to compare it with.. 2 state parks within 5 miles of one another; Wheeling Park, Olgelby Park... I'm down in Naples; about 170 miles south of Tampa

Most of my family is back there still; 2 brothers in Dayton, a sister in Wheeling, a Sister in Pittsburgh .. Naples is where I live but that area is where I call home

I suspect Federal Stimulus money was involved.

West Virginia received 210.8 million in Stimulus for paving. The company that won the low bid in my town came in from out of state (IL) and brought their illegals with them to do the work. The "workers" rode down the main street of our little town, loaded up in the front and back of an almost new truck with a banner on the tailgate that said V**V The South.

Stimulus might fund extra state road projects

Release Date: 09/08/2009



Low bids in a down economy could mean more highway projects from federal stimulus money than initially estimated, a West Virginia transportation official and contractors group say. "For the most part we're on the positive side, which really means more projects," West Virginia Division of Highways spokesman Brent Walker said. "It's just a little early to see what projects and net effect."

West Virginia received about $210.8 million in federal stimulus money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. About 112 projects in the state have been authorized for that funding, Walker said. "We've had several projects come in under our estimates," Walker said. "As we are able we will add projects to that 112.<!p>.<!p>.We just want to be very diligent, as we have been, with these funds."

While some projects have been over cost estimates, more are coming in lower than expected, he said. "It's a function of the economy, and you're just seeing some very competitive pricing," Walker said. "You're seeing that across the country."

"Companies want to make sure they're preserving their workers," Walker said.

It would be premature for the DOH to guess how many more projects could be funded through the $210.8 million because of savings seen from "actuals versus estimates," Walker said. "You can expect additional projects," Walker said. "We just don't know how many at this time."

The Contractors Association of West Virginia has reported seeing bids for stimulus projects coming in about 15 percent under estimates, said the group's executive director, Mike Clowser. Based on that figure, Clowser estimated there could be about $30 million more worth of projects than expected from the total $210.8 million and that the DOH could possibly increase total stimulus projects to 125 or 130.

"It's just a guess," Clowser said. "The bottom line is there will be about $30 million more available because contractors are bidding so competitively today," Clowser said. "The reason they're bidding competitively today is the market in highways construction is just down."

A sample of national highways projects showed average costs of about 16 percent lower than estimated, according to a USA Today report last month that cited data from the private firm Onvia.

Stimulus funding for highways projects has done more to save jobs than create them, particularly with the current downturn of the state's regular highway program, Clowser said.

"The stimulus program has basically just taken the place of our normal highway program," Clowser said. "So from the positive aspects of the stimulus program it has saved jobs within West Virginia's construction industry."

From January through the end of August this year, West Virginia's highways program has put out for contract 142 regular, non-stimulus projects totaling about $153 million in low bids submitted, Clowser said. That is less than half of the projects and funding during the same period in 2008, where the DOH had awarded 357 projects totaling $413 million, Clowser said.

"Some of the stimulus has taken up the slack for some of the downturn in the regular highway program," Clowser said.

About 87 stimulus projects were expected to have been put out for bid by next week, Walker said. Clowser's figure was closer to 88 projects, which he said total about $132 million in low bids.

Still, some asphalt paving company members were out of work in August, Clowser said, adding that normally from June through October, "asphalt companies and employees are just working day and night to get completed before bad weather." About 36,400 West Virginians were working in the construction industry in July 2009, down from 40,300 working in July 2008, according to WorkForce West Virginia labor information.

"That kind of gives you some indication of what is transpiring in the construction industry today," Clowser said.

Highway revenues, which come from the gas tax, have been flat, Walker said, adding that if that trend continues that could mean less money for paving, maintenance, mowing and possibly snow removal and ice control.

Clowser also was concerned about stagnant revenues in the DOH. "It's going to very soon affect the quality of highways and probably the quality of the transportation system in the state of West Virginia," Clowser said.

Meanwhile, the DOH has one year to authorize stimulus highway projects and three years to complete them, Walker said. "Any additional projects, it's really our intention to keep those within the congressional districts where the savings were realized," Walker said. "We're still trying to make sure we keep everything equitable."

While there is some new road construction planned, the DOH is focusing most of the stimulus dollars on preserving, maintaining and enhancing the existing highways system, which means a lot of paving, bridge cleaning, painting and some bridge replacements, Walker said.

Projects authorized for stimulus money have to be "shovel-ready," Walker said, which means ready to start within 90 days. "We're going to stay true to what we were asked to do," Walker said. "There are still projects that fall under the category of shovel-ready."

My Mom and brother "Skip" still live in Shadysdide. Skip and I do geneology, so we now search the cemeteries of Ohio Co., WV and Belmont Co. OH. I'll be in Tampa later this week. My wife has a sister and brother in Springfield and we occasionally make it to Dayton.

Wheeling is a shadow of it's former self. I get depressed if I visit Wheeling or Steubenville. I remember how these cities once thrived and now their econimies and tax bases have been destroyed. If I remember correctly, Mingo Junction layed off the entire police force. The Cheif of Police still shows up a few hours a week, but the city has no money to pay them.
Bellaire is now a village, of less than 5,000. More than 15,000 use to live there.

Well, I'm hoping the weather in Tampa is great. I'll be staying on the beach. Last year it was in the 50's
