Doing the high security jobs Americans won't do

From 'Navy contractor workers arrested for immigration violations':

"Thirty-one employees of a Navy contractor who have access to military installations and vessels were arrested Thursday on immigration charges, authorities said.


The suspects worked in San Diego for Continental Maritime, a unit of Northrop Grumman Corp.'s Newport News division. They worked in ship maintenance jobs, including welding, painting, mechanics and pipefitting..."

Last I heard, welding and pipefitting are fairly critical jobs; one bad weld in the wrong place, and really bad things could happen. Foreign citizens - even if they're the nicest, hardest-working people in the world - should not be doing sensitive jobs on Navy vessels or have access to Navy installations.

On the one hand, the Bush Administration is to be congratulated for catching this. However, if not for their Wink 'n' Nod immigration policies, this might have been caught earlier, and the company might have been extra vigilant to make sure they were only hiring citizens.
