Illegal immigrants working the doors for GOP commissioner candidate?

Illegal immigration has become an issue in a county commissioner race in Jefferson County - but not in the usual manner.

Democrat Jason Bane says incumbent Republican Kevin McCasky hired undocumented workers to leave campaign flyers on door knobs.

April M. Washington reports:

Mike Ciletti, spokesman for McCasky, said the campaign did not knowingly hire illegal immigrants.

Bane's charge comes at the same time McCasky, seeking a second term, proposes to crack down on illegal immigration.

Bane said while walking door- to-door in Arvada, he came across day laborers leaving campaign door hangers for McCasky and Jefferson County District Attorney Scott Storey, who is also seeking a second term.

"They didn't speak a word of English," Bane said.

An English-speaking relative of one of the door-hanging crew members told a Rocky Mountain News reporter Tuesday the crew member is undocumented.

Massive finger-pointing ensued.

Ciletti said McCasky's campaign hired WizBang Solutions to print the fliers and distribute them. WizBang hired Door Hangers Direct to deliver the fliers to homes, Siletti said.

"We hired WizBang Solutions, and I have full confidence that it checks out its employees and they're not hiring illegals," he said.

Storey said he was embarrassed to learn about the "inadvertent" hiring.

Storey said he hired Siletti and he was unaware some of the work had been subcontracted. "I certainly didn't intend to have people who are here illegally delivering my door hangers," he said.
