Undocumented Workers Arrested At Camp Lejeune

CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- An anonymous tip triggered an investigation of undocumented workers at Camp Lejeune, resulting in 40 people being detained and a federal investigation, a base spokesman said.

Camp Lejeune officials detained 27 people at base gates during security checks Wednesday and another 12 at various construction sites Monday, 1st Lt. Clark Carpenter said Thursday.

Military investigators went to the site of the new primary school at 10:30 a.m. Monday and apprehended five undocumented workers, Carpenter said. Checks at other construction sites that same day found another seven.

That caused the base to step up inspections at a number of gates Wednesday and the additional arrests.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Wilmington is handling the investigation now, Carpenter said.

Details on where the workers are from, how they got on base and what will happen to them now were not immediately made available.

Sue Brown, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security office in Atlanta, said Immigration and Customs Enforcement is not commenting now because the investigation is ongoing. Carpenter declined to mention any contractors by name, saying only that investigators were "looking into the practices of several contractors right now." Work on base projects will continue, he added.

According to the Defense Department, Tyler, Texas-based C Construction Co., Inc., was awarded $23.6 million last year to perform construction and demolition of the mainside primary and mainside intermediate schools at Camp Lejeune, including the new Carla Johnson Primary School.

Company officials declined to comment on whether their workers were arrested.

The arrests mark the second time this year that undocumented workers have been apprehended on a North Carolina military installation. In July, about 50 people were arrested at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro.

May I nominate the above for the "Drama Queen speech of the year"?

May I nominate you for your choice of the following...

1) Your very own Cranial-Recumectomy to remove your head from your a$$...

2) A glass belly-button so you can at least see where you are going...

3) A one-way ticket to your beloved Mexico....maybe there you can make a difference...or at least someone might give a rat's a$$ about ANYTHING you say.

Your choice...but if you take 3, you will be shot on sight if you even think about re-crossing our border!

No problem, and no doubt you will be looking for me, and if your sights are as bad as your rhetoric, I have absolutely nothing to worry about.

There is now a third definite in life, death and taxes, the third being that on any FR immigration thread, one enters the looking glass, tweedle dum and tweedle dee, should be making their appearance any second now.

It's outlined in reply #89, or can't Tweedle Dee(capitalized) figure it out.

On second thought....is that what I'm thinking it is???

[Mears]

Oh man,did I screw up my previous post or what?

Thanks for the good chuckle.

[Das Outsider]

There were two names listed and I would have gladly taken "keyboard commando," which is why I asked. Thank you for capitalizing my new moniker; I'll wear it proudly, since you did make that exception.

Try not to get too tightly wound.

This is where I'll cut Dane some slack: the 'Rod and the other one aren't nearly as entertaining. Deadpan posts. Dane is enough of a caricature to appear like even he doesn't believe what he says. It lightens things up.

But we are the Communists; so the Obies are--logically--not. But they support China and selling our resources--like Unocal--to them. What the?...Who's the....

Aw, dang it--now I got a headache!
