Huge company. Has the tree trimming contract for a number of utilities here in SE Michigan. They hit a clump of grape vine on my neighbors property last time they were here. Creative swearing!

This is huge, it will spread the word to other companies that they cannot be hiring illegals. Once we take the bird feeder away, the birds will no longer be flocking here.

No, say it ain’t so!

When the crews speak absolutely not a single lick of English or frontier gibberish, there’s a problem.

I hope you’re right. It is interesting DHS did the employee audit

Put the executives in jail, deport the illegals & all this crap will stop - almost as good as building the wall.

They should look at S&N Communications, contractor for Verizon. They had a crew of Guatemalans dig up my yard putting their Fios fiber optic in.
I know they were Guatemalans because I went out and asked them.

I highly suspect this to be true. There were tons of Hispanic workers working around here after a major wind storm, all who were working for Asplundh. Most could not read or understand English. My friend owned a bar/restaurant and these workers would come in for lunch, couldn't read the menu so friend and I both read it for them.

Used to see their trucks all the time here in northern NJ, and then one day a couple of months ago they disappeared and replaced by similar trucks with a different name.

Agreed and dont stop here. GO to all the meat and chicken processing plants in the USA and do ICE raids and pull their records—run immediate verifications on the SS #s they have on file —when they are found to be fraudulent: arrest the illegals AND the company Managers-ALL of them and padlock the door. That will send a BIG and immediate message.
They can ONLY reopen if they immediately place ads and allow ICE Agents to determine each applicant’s eligibility and oversee the hiring process.

Now we will see if illegals do work citizens wont do.

They have contracts with many government bodies, federal, state and local, and with many businesses that by law cant do business with them now.

So we shall see if Citizens emerge to do this work. Or other immigrants snap it up.

When Satyam IT consulting firm was convicted and lost all of its business in the space of 2 months, did any citizen owned or citizen consultant oriented firm seize the opportunity?

No. No American cosulting firm even tried to get the business. Tata, Infosys and other immigrant firms saw the opportunity and grabbed it.

Sounds like a certain midstate “dead Christmas tree” merchant.

I have a small construction company. It will stay small because I cannot find anyone who wants to work. It is the same with anyone I talk to who is in the biz.

Offer more money, you get what you pay for. Or go out of business.

Like the other comments..vigorously prosecuting the employers hiring illegals will facilitate the self-deportations.
