ANOTHER RAID

[WA5KRP]

A Kentucky home builder (http://news.cincypost.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060510/NEWS01/605100364) was the target of a two year probe into the use of illegal alien workers. #EIGHTY ARRESTS, including four supervisors followed.

Funny how we're starting to hear about these raids. #Waddyareckon the impact will be on hiring illegals? #Frankly, I don't think it's any accident these raids are somewhat small but getting lots of press. #Large raids and big deportations will cause all kinds of hell to break loose. #What the feds are doing is subtle, but it will lead to a chill in the job market that will soon discourage illegal immigration. #After all, why would they come here if they can't find work?

And all they are doing is enforcing laws already on the books. I'm sure we'll be seeing more stories like this in the news.

I've heard locally that a few radio "deejays" have been telling people to ask people they hire for work to prove legal workers are doing the work, but no raids or any of that as of yet around here.

I know of a particular business in Marshalltown, Iowa where they could round up 2500 or so if they were of a mind to do it. Of course the business would have to close and Marshalltown would lose 10% of it's population.
