If only they had "documents" .....

Oh no, please tell us this isn't true.
They have infiltrated our U.S. Navy?


The illegal criminal alien invaders need to be kicked out of this country now!

Paid less by who?....

Who pocketed the difference?....

Like RR advised...follow the money.

It's more than a few years since I took, and hated, the law school course in labor law. I don't recall off-hand the name of the statute, but there is a federal law requiring contractors on a federal construction project to pay all workers the prevailing union wages irrespective of whether they are union members. Thankfully, my recollection of that is vague and I've never touched an issue even close to involving labor law.

"Our guys found they were being paid less than they were supposed to be paid," said Bert Durand, spokesman for the New England Regional Council of Carpenters.

No. They're illegals and shouldn't be paid a dime. They should be sent back from whence they came and their employer heavily fined and given jail time.

Someone please check my figures: US population = 300 million. Illegals = 13 million. For every 30 Americans (child and adult) there is 1 illegal.

Dual-Topic Ping!

The post is about a sub-contractor using illegal alien labor. Happens all the time, that's what the Wal-Mart kerlufle was all about.

Someone else embedded a second article here about military recruiters being courtmartialed for bringing illegals onto active duty. Comment on that: I spoke at length last week with a Czech refugee who entered the US Army in Italy in the early 50s. Basic training was hell on him, as he did not speak English. But, he made it, and he counts himself a better man for that.

Bottom line? Legal immigrants in uniform is fine - outstanding! Illegals? No way, Jose.

Whole new meaning to "picking lettuce"!

Guess Americans just won't carpenter, like so many other jobs Americans won't do. so illegals have to fill the gaps.

I never realized Americans were so lazy & picky:

Won't pick fruit.
Won't garden, mow lawns, or landscape.
Won't bus tables or wash dishes.
Won't build fences.
Won't milk cows.
Won't janitor.
Won't lay tile.
Won't drive charter buses...with Mexican licenses.
Won't construction labor.
Won't roof.
Now, won't even carpenter, plumb, or wire.

Or, is every panderer & pimp lieing when they repeat the mantra, "They are only doing the jobs Americans won't do!"?

This is not new. A couple of years back there was a big raid, I believe at the Norfolk shipyard where they rounded up over 200 illegals working on Naval ship refurbishment as welders, pipefitters and steelworkers. More jobs americans won't do. The contractors who hire them should be screwed to the wall. Ignorance of their status is no excuse.
