Thread: Legislative employee was illegal immigrant

Legislative employee was illegal immigrant



PHOENIX One day after the Arizona House approved a bill targeting employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants, the legislative chamber announced that it had fired an employee after it was determined that he was an illegal immigrant.

The House said Friday in a statement that a part-time housekeeper was fired Thursday evening after he told a supervisor that he was an illegal immigrant.

According to the statement, the employee had been asked to provide documentation when a verification check found that his name did not match Social Security records.

Employment of illegal immigrants is a hot-button political issue in Arizona because such hirings are blamed for encouraging people to sneak across the border. The Pew Hispanic Center has estimated that illegal immigrants account for one in ten workers in Arizona.

Fine job our government is doing when they themselves are employing illegal immigrants. And it says he was fired. Was he deported as well?
