Sheesh, 42 of 200? About 20%. This is not a small problem. And how many of those jobs were ones Americans would not do?

[pogo101]

What scares me is that this isn't "just" illegals at a (private) home-construction development, a grocery store, a private warehouse. It's a FREAKIN' INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

Get rid of the illegals, hire americans, and the uneployment rate would drop to 1%

The men who were taken into custody have been fingerprinted, photographed and entered into Homeland Security databases,

...then returned to their respective work sites.

>>>>>Most of the men were working construction projects at the airport.

Since the 1970’s the hourly wage rate for general contruction labor in DC Metro has been reduced by anywhere from 40 to 60 percent. I know that because I used to work construction here as a part-timer in college.

Laborer crews that used to be a mix of races, ages, and ethnicities are now almost 100 percent Hispanic. You will rarely find a caucasian on a laborer crew, as was very common 20 and 30 years ago.

And given the opportunity to register to vote under the Motor Voter Fraud Act?

This problem at Dulles has been going on for a long time. There is a lot of major construction going on in the ramp areas (with access to aircraft gate areas) with hundreds of workers where Spanish is the normal language and subcontractors round illegals up for all the unskilled work.

ICE has a field office just outside the airport. They and everyone else knew that Dulles was teeming with illegals.

Why has it taken this long?

This sounds good, just walk ‘em down to the gate and off they go ...

[varon]

Of the more than 200 people interviewed, 42 were identified as illegal.

How in the hell were they hired in the first place. Homeland Security does body searches on 83 year old grandmothers in wheel chairs at airports but will not do a proper employment background check on airport employees. Where in the hell are the adults in our government???

Eh, they can go right outside the perimeter and work on the new Rt. 28-Frying Pan or Willard Rd. interchanges.
