And I am to believe no American would want a well paying construction job on a Federal project.

Last month, 14 illegal aliens were arrested in Panama City, Florida, all of whom had been working on a federally-funded construction project, where U.S. workers had actually been turned away. Read that story here: http://www.examiner.com/immigration-reform-in-national/illegal-aliens-caught-building-public-housing-project-florida-u-s-workers-turned-away

So the “rest of this story” should be: what sanctions will the contractor face for employing the illegals?

Ping!

After a bit of research it looks like this is another example of a non union construction company exploiting illegal labor. I would love to see their certified payrolls to see if they had been paying prevailing wages if required to do so. No more government contracts for this guy since he broke the law. Maybe a few hundred thousand dollar fine is in order. I think the whole company should be investigated since we all know how notorious non union construction companies are at hiring illegals. They treat them like slave labor and pay them pennies.

A subsidiary of ACORN?

Jeannette, PA? Is that the same housing project that Ohio State’s Terrelle Pryor grew up in?

Disgusting!!

Call your reps and senators and demand E-Verify for ALL employers. Let them know that they represent you, not the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

I don’t work there, but I work in the same environment. I joked with these guy on the way to northern MN about how at least it was “Jose” taking over, instead of “Abdul”. But at the same time I was seething. So was one of them. I kept my underemployment.

The illegal aliens were on their way from Maryland to work on a taxpayer-funded housing project in Jeannette, PA.

The federal government hires thousands of illegal aliens...It's their favorite people...They've proved that over and over and over and over.

Make that 10 Americans and you can bet that there are at least 10 of them in that area who would be glad to have those jobs.

People need to travel to “A Town Named Hope” if they want to see the results of the Toon and the Huckster. That place is more than 10% hispanic now. I saw a school bus unload while I was there one day. The Black kids were definitely in the minority.
