Prince William, Va. Raid Targets Construction Firm

"Federal immigration authorities converged on a Prince William County construction company just before sunrise yesterday, arresting 34 Latin American nationals for being in the country illegally. Workplace raids are rare in the Washington area, and the roundup at CMC Concrete Construction in the Manassas area appears to be the largest in the region in nearly two years, according to a review of news releases on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Web site," the Washington Post reported. "The workers -- who come from Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica and El Salvador -- are being charged administratively and are in ICE custody undergoing deportation proceedings, said Ernestine Fobbs, a spokeswoman for the customs agency."

All construction jobs need to go to those Americans who WILL do this work, and at a fair livable wage. It is hard work, the construction companies have been making a killing underpaying illega aliens and yet the prices have not gone down. Los Angeles "authorities" have just discovered, Duh, that the car washes in the area have been paying illegal aliens as little as 3 dollars an hour. Didn't know you could get rich owning a "car wash", did you? Well, under the Bush and previous administrations, anything is possible, except actually doing something for the American citizenry.

I'm a heavy equipment operator in Florida and can tell you first hand, I have been competing for jobs with these criminal aliens. Work has slowed down a lot and the wages are steady dropping. They work so cheap that employers actually train them for long periods of time. I've called ICE so many times, That's a joke.
Organized crime with politicians as the top crime bosses!
Eventually, everyone, everywhere will get hit as they dig deeper and deeper into society.
Farm workers???
Maybe for a few weeks they'll work the feilds then move on. We don't have 20 million working the feilds.
What a joke.
Has anyone made a donation to FAIR lately??????
