A maintenance contractor at Dugway Proving Grounds, one of the nation's most sensitive military bases, employed at least nine illegal workers at the base, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials reported today.

The nine Mexican nationals were taken into custody Thursday evening inside the perimeter of the highly sensitive site, which serves as a major chemical and biological testing center for the Department of Defense, officials said.

The foreign nationals were employed by Spacecon West, a subcontractor hired to do maintenance and construction work at the facility. Agents said two of those arrested had identification cards issued by the state of Utah, but none of the employees had valid work authorization documents.

Military authorities emphasize that the people taken into custody were working in an area several miles from where the actual chemical and biological testing is done but immigrations agents called the matter "disturbing."

Nothing to worry about. Sometime next year (maybe), Chertoff is really going to start beefing up border security.
