PLD 14 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 >> raids on nine businesses that used a Baltimore-based temporary employment agency >> suspected of providing illegal immigrants >> seized the $600,000 bank account of Jones Industrial Network, the employment agency under >> investigation for allegedly supplying illegal workers to firms This is just like the war on drugs. They are after the suppliers. They bust the users, etc just to bully them into testifying. If they were serious about busting low-level users, they would be staking out the QT & Home depot every morning 6a-8a. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 Around here there are "Minute Men" who hang out where the day labor congregates making note of anyone who goes looking for workers. Also....There have been offices scheduled to open that have not done so to help these people (some of whom really are here legally) to look for work. The proposed offices have met with such hostility and political unrest that they have not been able to open. Of course we are right near DC, so everything gets pretty heated here.

PLD 14 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 Why does this NOT suprise me: James "Jim" Gilchrist is the founder of the Minuteman Project, a group whose aim is to prevent illegal immigration across the USA's southern border. "Gilchrist willingly allowed members of [...] one of the United States' largest neo-Nazi organizations, to help with his 2005 House run. [...] The report interviewed a former volunteer in Gilchrist's campaign who said that 'they were basically allowing skinheads and white nationalists to work the phone banks and do IT and distribute National Alliance fliers targeting non-whites' " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
