Wal-Mart Arrests Are a Warning, Feds Say

SCRANTON, Pa. - Federal officials say the arrest of 125 workers at a construction site for a new Wal-Mart distribution center should serve as a warning to employers who hire illegal immigrants.
"Employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens, and those who utilize false documents to gain employment, face significant criminal and administrative charges," said John Kelleghan, acting special agent-in-charge for the immigration agency in Pennsylvania.
Some of the 125 workers, who are from Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador , Guatemala and Honduras, used fake documents to obtain employment with subcontractors, officials said. The arrests came after search warrants were executed for six companies at the site.
Agents obtained the search warrants after learning that 10 workers employed by Destin Drywall & Paint were using Social Security numbers that did not match their names.
Houston-based Destin has worked on Wal-Mart projects around the country, said office manager Cindy Wyman. She said the company verifies that employees are permitted to work in the United States.
A Wal-Mart spokesman has said the detained workers were not employed by Wal-Mart but by the subcontractors. Wal-Mart‘s contracts with the companies require that they follow local, state and federal employment laws, the company said.
In 2003, a raid of 60 Wal-Mart stores in 21 states led to the arrests of 245 illegal workers. An affidavit claimed a pair of senior Wal-Mart executives knew cleaning contractors were hiring illegal immigrants. The retailer agreed to pay $11 million in March to settle the case but denied senior executives knew of the hirings.Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn

Chertoff is worried about not having enough beds for the illegal aliens?
This crococile approved TORTURE for Iraqi detainees who were innocent and human rights inspectors believe tortured at least 23 to death.
BUT lets get our little illegal aliens some beds, blankets, fluffy pillow, clean sheets, and 3 squares a day or SET THEM FREE.
Chertoff is nothing but a Fox Croc!!

Wal-Mart Arrests Are a Warning, Feds Say
And have the Feds been warned also? After all, they've raided Seymour Johnson AFB twice, Ft Bragg, Camp Lejuene and others around the country. The Federal Government is hiring contractors that use illegals just like Walmart and evidentally they know it since they were only raiding "military installations" at one time.
Don't get me wrong, I think anybody who hires illegals should be put under the jail but the government is no better than Walmart.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

It won't be a good enough warning to suit me until the arrest the people that hired them and fine everyone, up to and including WalMart corporate office. The fines can pay for the bus to to transport the illegals back to the border!
