Joe Deters is Hamilton County's (Cincinnati) Republican Prosecutor.

"These guys worked their tails off," Deters said. "They didn't drink. They showed up for work on time and they worked like crazy. They did it leaving behind their home in Mexico," Deters continued. "I would challenge people to think, would you be willing to leave this country and go to Mexico if the role was reversed? These guys were brave," Deters said."

Brave? They were here illegally Joe! And so was the guy that killed them! Why aren't you prosecuting the company that employed them?

It happens all the time...only Americans work in foreign countries legally.

four Mexican construction workers

Looks like some badly needed construction-job openings in Ohio.

Moreno and the four men who were killed had been bricklayers and stonemasons for the same company, ABC Precision Masonry in Mason, north of Cincinnati.

The owner of ABC Precision Masonry should be arrested, fined and jailed for awhile.

Before we moved to hell (Cleveland) we lived in Northern Ky across the river from Cincinnati. We had a new home built in 1998 by a regional developer (Drees). Our brick layers sucked - they left the site a mess and had to re-do the interior brick on the fireplace twice, talked like sailors and left bricks all over the yard (to be plowed under when they did the backfill).

About 6 months after we moved in a house was built across the street - the brick layers were hispanic and an older hispanic woman managed them. They were amazing - their work was excellent, they took not 1 extra minute for breaks and cleaned their equipment and stacked loose bricks EVERY night. They were also pleasant and didn’t cuss to high heaven like ours did.

I have no idea their legal/illegal status, but I sure hope this is not those guys.
