Thread: LA - Illegals get paid $360/day to deploy oil booms

"This was a special circumstance by the oil spill. Our message is that it is important that the posts are intended for legal workers," he said.

St. Bernard Parish, the county where the station is Hopedale, said the local government had nothing to do with visits by ICE.

Thousands of undocumented Hispanic immigrants who came to assist in reconstruction efforts after Hurricane Katrina have stayed at the región.Unos founded colonies on the outskirts of New Orleans, while others turned to fishing.

Hispanics interviewed by this newspaper say they have received the message that only those workers whose legal status shall be eligible to work, but yearn to participate in the cleanup.

Achilles, a worker from Mexico who works at a gas station in Kenner, Louisiana, and who declined to use his full name because he is undocumented, said: "During Katrina we worked well and it was recovered, and right now we need to work in oil and cleaning. It needs to work even though we do not have papers, and cleanliness is important. "

Despite this newspaper ICE inspections could see that some undocumented workers have been unable to obtain work of BP and its contractors.

An oyster fisherman from El Salvador, who declined to reveal their identity or their workplace for fear of being deported, is working by placing a protective barrier against oil around the islands.

"You always walk in fear that immigration will come," he admitted.

The young Salvadoran told that although it feels safe is willing to continue working on pulling barriers because contractors pay $ 360 a day.

"I came because I have my children and my wife, to give them a better life. My uncle gave me money to come here. Perhaps here repayment terms, "he said.

“¿Inmigración? Immigrant workers do not know how long it will work for them on the coasts of Louisiana, but they do have one certainty: "immigration? They will come again, "said Roberto Granados, a documented worker from Mexico who is working on the boats for BP.

There are coastal villages of Mexican Indians west of the mouth of the Mississippi River where the Indians were brought in to grow Tabasco peppers by McIlheny more than a hundred years ago.

$360 a day to pull oil booms around the islands? And BP is hiring illegal aliens to do this while Americans sit starving unaware of the opportunity?

There should not be 1 American left standing that would support such a thing, not 1. Every employer who hires these people should be run up the flag pole upside down and fed to the crows.

I was in PCB FL a couple of weeks ago. There were illegals working oil booms there. The county sheriff busted them. Plenty of Americans are out of work there.

$360 per dAy??? my husband would love that opportunity since the the illegals here in KY are doing the "job americans wont do (roofing)"Plz tell us where to sign on

Yes indeed where do legal working Americans sign up? Why isn't BP or the administration handing out the jobs to them first? barry should issue an order to use E-Verify on all spill related jobs but alas that wouldn't help future dimocrap voters now would it.

Unfortunately I may have to tolerate some of those roofer's shortly. The home I'm renting had hail damage and the owner has contracted it out to be fixed. I won't have a word to say about who is on the roof and all over the property but I certainly can be out with my INS/DHS apparel now can't I...lol

Absolutely!

If BP weren't under such scrutiny the IAs would be lining up saying they'd do the job for $150 a day and drive actual citizens out of the work. JMO

Thousands of People are out of work in all these States and they hire illegals. That is against the law for them to do that, why isn't this stopped? What part of illegal is not understood????
