Feds Warn Companies Using Illegal Workers
WASHINGTON (AP) - The government plans to crack down ever harder on employers who harbor and hire illegal immigrants, pursuing companies that ignore the law so they can exploit cheap labor.
``We are going to move beyond the current level of activity to a higher level in each month and year to come,'' Michael Chertoff said Thursday. He pledged to ``come down as hard as possible'' on violators.
Federal agents on Wednesday arrested seven current and former managers of IFCO Systems, a manufacturer of crates and pallets, on criminal charges, and more than 1,100 people were arrested on administrative immigration charges at more than 40 IFCO sites in the U.S.
``Our nation's communities cannot be a wild frontier where illegal aliens and unscrupulous employees subvert our nation's laws,'' said Julie Myers, assistant secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Wow, using accurate terminology!
Only SEVEN? Geez, at that rate we'll soon be given our allegiance to the United States of Aztlan. They really need to start cracking down on American employees who hire illegal workers.
