56 ILLEGAL ALIENS ARRESTED BY ICE AT CONSTRUCTION SITE
ICE executes a criminal search warrant against Reich Installation Services Inc.
CARTHAGE, Mo. - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents here arrested 56 illegal aliens this morning following the execution of a criminal search warrant against Reich Installation Services Inc. of Pewaukee, Wis.
The search warrant was executed at the Schreiber Foods construction site at 1206 W. Fairview, Carthage, Mo. Reich Installation Services is employed as a sub-contractor at this site. In addition to arresting the aliens working at the site, the criminal search warrant authorized seizure of business, financial and personnel records, as well as computers maintained by Reich Installation.
Of the 56 aliens administratively arrested today for illegally residing in the United States, 28 were Reich Installation employees. Eight others worked for Top Flight, another construction site contractor. The aliens all claim to be citizens of Mexico. ICE agents are still interviewing and processing the aliens for deportation.
“Reich Installation Services has been associated with at least two other U.S. sites where illegal aliens have been arrested within the last year,” said Elissa Brown, ICE special agent-in-charge of the Chicago office. “Employers must get the message that hiring illegal aliens is against the law. ICE will especially scrutinize those employers who are repeatedly identified in these operations.” Brown oversees the ICE Office of Investigations for a six-state area, including: Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky and Wisconsin.
It is against federal law to knowingly hire or continue to employ illegal aliens. Punishments range from $200 per paperwork violation to $10,000 per hiring violation, to include potential prison sentences.
Today's operation is part of ICE's comprehensive strategy for worksite enforcement aimed at promoting national security, protecting critical infrastructure, and ensuring fair labor standards.
Carthage Police Department and Jasper County Sheriff's Department assisted ICE with executing this criminal search warrant.
According to its website, Reich Installation Services Inc. nationally designs and installs custom warehouse distribution systems in factories and warehouses in excess of five million square feet.
This is an ongoing investigation.
I would pay for the priveledge of seeing that perp walk. The CEO or contractor, not the illegals. I hope the traitor gets the max allowable in fines and time under the law.
Here is a proposed message for a business that you are really sure is hiring illegals. I wouldn't suggest leaving your contact info. Maybe it gets sent from another email account, by fax, or by mail. Here is the first idea.
Do we have proof, or at least a statement from the INS official?
Given that we are under invasion, and what is symbolized by an upside-down flag, I don't know that it's all that inappropriate. It's military code meant as both a call for help, and warning of occupation by unfriendlies to friendly troops.

"Quick Question" on the above page: Why do you employ Illegal aliens? Or something similar!
Most intelligent thing I've yet heard in the whole illegal immigration debate. If OBL's want slave labor... send them to where it's legal. Brilliant!
I hope the contractor does hard time in a federal pen.

Here is my actual question at the above site:
I hope it becomes a trend.
"They will end catch and release in October of this year."
manana-manana
This is why I go insane when I hear the President and our senators and congressmen and women repeat ad nauseuam that "they're only doing jobs Americans won't do." Construction jobs are highly skilled positions that use to pay $18.00 to $20.00 an hour maybe more. Illegals are taking these jobs from Americans and getting paid under the table for them. The unemployment rate among American construction workers is 9-12%.
I work in the government in Washington, DC. There's a lot of construction going on at many government buildings on capitol hill. The construction crews consist almost entirely of hispanics. Everyday I walk by these sites. Practically the only language I hear is Spanish. I would bet money that the majority of them are illegal. Our government is obviously complicit in the hiring of illegals.
So why are the Unions NOT squealing? They were in complete screaming opposition to NAFTA, yet here where there is activity that takes money out of their pockets not a word.
manana-manana...
LOL! And just in time for the November elections. What are the odds?
How stupid do these people think we are?
They don't think we're really that stupid, they're just stalling for time. They do think the average illegal alien is stupid enough to buy what they're selling. That's why they need to keep constantly importing the undereducated and servile. It's the only way they could possibly stay in power.
Isn't that the pic that someone wanted to 'sculpt'....AND wanted to make it --1 Anglo,1 Black and 1 Hispanic? Think it was Ellen Ratner's brother...Recall that? Great Lib revisionist history prevented that time....
They'll vote for the politicians Americans won't vote for. ;-)
RE your tagline...Tancredo in 08 sounds good to me.
GO AFTER THE EMPLOYERS, THEY ARE THE HEAD OF THE SERPENT.
