It proves my thought that the FedMob is intractably corrupt.

Did he think that being a witness to a building collapse shielded him from the immigration laws?

You know two things right at the start. The engineers and inspectors are corrupt.

Arrest the management. Hiring illegals and paying off construction inspectors putting lives in danger.

Oh Please. He was a PLAINTIFF in a lawsuit against his employer. Despite suffering NO INJURIES, he was looking to get RICH. If he had any information to give, he gave it during the 3 interviews with investigators. He thought he hit the jackpot, but instead, he is back where he belongs. Cry me a river.

Did he think that being a witness to a building collapse shielded him from the immigration laws? Yes, he did. And he was expecting to get a fat payday from the lawsuit.

But even as one arm of the federal government sought his help, another pressed ahead with his deportation, in a move that New Orleans officials, immigration advocates and labor lawyers said could have a chilling effect on immigrant workers who encounter safety violations and could also hamper the investigation into the Hard Rock Hotel collapse. If workers were vetted properly in the first place, this wouldn't be an issue, as only US citizens would be hired.

He saw the charges go off proving that it was an inside job.

Who (other than you) has alleged that inspectors were paid off?

I wish we had deported him before he whet through that event. Deport all illegals. No exceptions.

Maybe if they wern’t employing illegals the wrong shoring braces would not have been removed. Maybe, maybe not but that job was a fustercluck and an employer with those employment practices may have other issues.

We must not deter victims and witnesses of construction catastrophes from coming forward, the New Orleans City Council president, Helena Moreno, and vice president, Jason Williams, said in a statement this week. Memo to Helena & Jason: sloppy and dangerous work on construction sites is almost always down to sloppy and dangerous workers from Latin America.
There are also a legion of stories about sloppy and dangerous work in residential construction. Shelves and cabinets that pull out of the dry wall with a tug. Electrical work that is a million miles from code. Anything and everything that can be hidden and therefore ignored. They will do it, pocket the hard currency, tell no tales and move on - usually with the full knowledge of the general contractor or *ahem* custom home builder.

I bet theres a lot of facts left out this story.
Maybe more details will be revealed, after I return from a fishing trip.

Lets see. Hire illegals and you wont have to worry about anyone reporting your criminal activities because they are not going to go to authorities. Time for big construction to face the consequences of all of their illegal actions from hiring illegals to cutting corners and covering it up.

That was a Law & Order episode a while back. An illegal worker had information that could convict a bigwig of something. Shortly before the grand jury convened the illegal was deported; the inference was that the bigwig had orchestrated the reporting and deportation.

Funny how his last appeal to stay in the country was denied the week before the collapse, but everyone wants to act like it was a conspiracy theory that he was deported. HE HAD A DEPORTATION ORDER ALREADY!!!!!
