Nine workers who serviced U.S. Navy planes at Winston-Salem airport were arrested Tuesday on alleged immigration violations.
Reports say agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement office made the arrests at Aerospace Manufacturing, Incorporated. They believe all those arrested were working illegally in the United States.
The "Operation Shield America" raid at Smith-Reynolds Airport is aimed at finding illegal aliens doing work for the Pentagon.
Reports also said that those arrested were working on P-3 Orions - survelliance planes known as "submarine killers."
The suspects are in the Forsyth County Jail, and may be deported to their home countries in the United Kingdom later this week.
The arrests come two months after federal authorities arrested 27 workers at the Piedmont/Triad International Airport in Greensboro for using counterfeit documents.
Officials at Aerospace Manufacturing could not be reached late Tuesday.
I don't understand this part of the article. Are we now getting illegal alien workers from the UK?

Nice to know that 4 years after 9/11 were on top of the illegals in airports thing. (sarc)
These are obvious jobs AMERICANS won't do.
ps--100000 aircraft workers at broken United Airlines might be interested ??
Whoa mon...this story stinks big time. There is a story behind the story here....it involves the company or agency that provided these illegals.
Is DOD contracting with foreign companies to provide labor and services for DOD facilities? Illegals working on Navy planes??
WTF is going on?
Inquiring minds want to dig a little deeper...
To do jobs Mexicans won't do.

No need to be sarcastic here. It's the truth.
"No need to be sarcastic here. It's the truth."
Illegal aliens working on Naval aircraft.
Yes, and it really restores everybody's faith, trust and confidence in our federal government and its security agencies, does it not? You know, those amazing folks in the CIA, FBI and the rest of the alphabet soup making a living off of national security without producing much of it.
Really wonderful, isn't it?
To quote Jim Traficant for the second time today.
"The FBI and CIA are so stupid they could throw themselves at the ground and miss."
A keeper.
Well, at least they weren't Mexican illegals, V. Fox would have sent the Federales to protect their right to do work even Blacks won't do..
SARCASM\ still on.
Great job! Salute! Deport the illegals!
No, it does not restore everybody's faith, trust and confidence in our federal government and its security agencies.
Does this have anything to do with all the Military planes that fell out of the sky last year?
Ping.......
Navy planes are being worked on at the Winston-Salem airport?
WTF indeed!
