MASTER THREAD: FReeper Activism -- reports of turning in employers of illegal aliens
U.S. Border Control ^ | 3-28-06 | dfu

Posted on 03/28/2006 1:01:32 PM PST by doug from upland

THE IDEA STARTED ON THIS THREAD.

U.S. BORDER CONTROL
Turn in illegal aliens

We are hearing that reports of employers using illegal aliens or instances of illegal aliens engaged in criminal activity, have been responded to quickly by the new agency. Please note that it is unlikely that ICE will take any action against an illegal alien that is not employed illegally or engaged in some other sort of illegal activity.

The TOLL FREE number to report ILLEGAL aliens or those employing ILLEGAL aliens to ICE is: 866-347-2423

How it works:

You are not required to provide your identity to ICE.  All that is necessary to request an investigation by ICE is mere suspicion of any activity by ILLEGAL aliens. 

ICE and the IRS are especially interested in "visiting" those businesses that employ ILLEGALS "off the books" to avoid the payment of payroll taxes.  

Small and large businesses are equally notorious in the hiring of ILLEGAL aliens to avoid paying fair wages to its workers and to criminally evade the collection and payment of payroll taxes. 

We are interested in getting current information regarding how helpful or unhelpful the new agency has been in taking your information and following up on your complaint, so please drop us an email to keep us current.

===========================

===========================

FReepers, here is a chance to make a difference in this battle. The only thing that will stop the invasion is stopping the employers who hire illegal aliens.

Please use this thread to give us reports of what you are doing. We need to develop a list of those businesses who can prove that they do not hire illegal aliens. If, for instance, you have spoken with someone at a certain restaurant and can determine that the restaurant does not hire illegal aliens, let us know about it. Those in the area need to partronize that restaurant. Positive publicity needs to be generated for them for being good Americans.

If you have evidence (perhaps including photos) of a business that is hiring illegals, report it to the number above and give us a report. Please do your homework on this. Make sure you get it right.

This may or may not have a significant impact, but we can't just sit here and watch our nation and culture being destroyed. If we can do this enough times around the country and make sure we get publicity, we have the potential to do something really important here.

Who is going to be first?

EXCERPT:

Much of the controversy centers on the man who has been pushing the lawsuit — County Commissioner Robert Vasquez. A former radio commentator who lost part of a leg in Vietnam, Vasquez, 57, has long been a provocative force in the immigration debate.

The grandson of legal Mexican immigrants, Vasquez was elected to the county commission in 2002 and soon sent the Mexican government a $2 million bill for services he said his county had provided to illegal immigrants. He has asked Idaho's governor to declare the county a disaster area because of illegal immigration and to grant it emergency funds. He has proposed unsuccessful legislation to the state Legislature that would deny welfare payments to illegal immigrants.

"For every dollar for an illegal alien, it's one less dollar in my constituents' pocket," said Vasquez, who is running for Congress.

In 2005, Vasquez heard about Howard Foster.

The Chicago-based lawyer has almost single-handedly spearheaded the use of RICO statutes as a tool against illegal immigration. A member of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a group that advocates immigration restrictions, Foster took note when Congress toughened immigration laws in 1996 and amended the RICO statute to make knowing employment of illegal immigrants a violation.

"For the first time ever in the country, it became possible for a person to bring a private lawsuit against an employer ... for violating immigration laws," Foster said.

Just re-aim the CT I-95 Traffic Cam for exit 7 at Stamford (http://www.ct.gov/dot/cwp/view.asp?a=2354&Q=290520&dotNav=|) and you will see plenty of "Undocumented Workers" gathered in the official "No Hassle Zone"....your tax dollars at work, amigos!

There's a MAJOR catch-22 here. I'll use myself as an example. I own my own business and work alone. I have many clients who I suspect hire illegals. If I were to turn these people in to ICE, I would be stabbing myself in the back and potentially could lose my business in the process. One of the major reasons nothing has been done about this problem is the effect it will have (at least short term) on the economy of this country. Anyone have any ideas on this part of the equation?

We should borrow a page from the gun control/anti tobbacco lobby and file civil class action lawsuits in every state against every business that employs illegal aliens. Unlike, the leftist targets, our targets have openly violated federal law. Why wait for the Feds when we can do it for ourselves?

I understand your dilemma. I don't have an answer except that if everyone played by the rules, you wouldn't have a problem. We need to work toward the goal of stopping the cheaters who are getting an unfair business advantage by violating the law.

What would it cost to put a few lines of info onto billboards (info such as you provide in your #55 and the ICE free phone number). I'm thinking of billboards on major highways such as I-15 between S. CA and Las Vegas.

Think this would encourage non-FReepers to join the cause? Would this scare the employers of illegals enough to shape up?

Just because there might be a hiccup in the economy, is no reason to not fix the problem.

LA and San Diego too
Chinese are a very large problem with the illegals.
Not just South Americans all of them.
I have a chinese girlfriend who is the sweetest nurse, she waited 2 years to get her Visa. Illegals are just gate crashers and need to go

Re: your post #55. Can I, as a private citizen, verify a SS# that I have accidently seen?

How about we boycott businesses that knowingly hire illegals? I do.

Putting the pertinent info on billboards might eliminate the "brown shirt" or "tattletale" phobia that many people have. It also would be safer (more anonymous) than putting a bumper sticker on your car with the number - that might be asking for trouble.

I am sure a National I.D. would not resolve this issue in total but I would be against it even if it did. You may have something though on a National alien database which includes only registered aliens. However even though such a database would not include any American names, the political constraints against such a database would still be considerable. Several years ago I was associated with Federal plans for the construction of a National endangered species database. The intense controvery involved in this plant and animal database indicates to me that any database containing people will elicite controversy that few politicians will be willing to tackle. But then I am, nor have I ever been, a politician. It may work.

The West end of the city where I work should be a ghost town in a week.

The following week these local businesses will either be out of business or employing Americans or LEGAL immigrants.

It really is hard to organize a boycott, but several individual incidents of putting pressure on a business may get the owner concerned. If you owned a business and someone called to warn you that he was looking to get you shut down, would it worry you? Especially if you were actually hiring illegals? This may be an opportunity for a legitimate business doing the right thing to damage a cheating competitor.
