Illegal Workers Arrested on Air Force Base
BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. (AP) -- Twenty-five illegal immigrants employed as contract workers at this Air Force base were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

The arrests of the construction and landscape workers were made Friday.

The workers were "foreign nationals," according to a news release from the 2nd Bomb Wing that did not specify countries of origin. Most had obtained fraudulent Social Security and alien registration numbers to complete forms, the release said.

The workers did not have access to secure information, 2nd Bomb Wing spokesman Lt. Frank Hartnett said. He would not say how the workers got on the base.

Sorry for the dupe, you may remove if you'd like.

Most had obtained fraudulent Social Security and alien registration numbers to complete forms, the release said.

This allows them to move to the front of the amnesy line, I believe.

It shows initiative, and that's what we're looking for these days in the former USA.
