"Likely illegal immigrants found working at defense contractor"

From this:


Federal authorities have taken 41 suspected illegal immigrants into custody after they were found working at a Department of Defense contractor at the Port of Brownsville.

Luisa Aquino, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said today that the Wednesday raid came after an investigation found AMFELS Inc.'s subcontractors were hiring undocumented workers. She said AMFELS was not part of the investigation and had alerted federal officials to false Social Security numbers...

"These companies [apparently the subcontractors mentioned below --LW] were hiring undocumented aliens and providing them with fraudulent documents to have access to very secure areas that are critical to our infrastructure and national security," Aquino said...

Wednesday, Gilbert Elizondo, AMFELS' vice president for human resources, told The Brownsville Herald the company has 40 to 50 contractors who hire their own workers. He said AMFELS has about 1,000 employees and "they have to meet the legal requirements to work here"...

The subject line got my attention, I think alot of people are in the US from Mexico today with no intention of becoming US citizens. They want to remain Mexican citizens, and Mexican nationals, but they are here for work because the Mexican economy has not increased while their population has. I think this is a different than how it was yesterday.

I feel this way because I can find people in San Diego that don't want their nationality to be Americans. They really are not true immigrats, they want to someday go home or bring their home here.

Keep up the fight for good.
