Funny. I think instead of blaming Strathmeyer’s and their family we should be blaming our media and local police because it was later determined that the person driving the car was actually an American citizen, and the illegals that were deemed illegal because they looked Mexican actually had all of their paperwork to support their ability to be working in the United States.

You just registered this morning to come on here and defend a company cited by several news reports as employing illegals? You do realize that:
1) The
driver and all passengers fled the scene. Is that SOP for non-illegal alien Strathmeyer Forest employees?
2) Police
confirmed that the 2 who were caught running from the scene were in fact illegal aliens. They were taken to an ICE detention facility.
3) Stratmeyer Forests refused to comment to the local papers, instead making a "press release" via twitter:
Fred Strathmeyer, owner of Strathmeyer Forests, could not be reached for comment Wednesday, but the company issued a press release later in the evening via Twitter:
"We had, and still have, no reason to believe that they are not allowed to work legally in the United States." LINK. That's a little different than the employer stating with certainty that the occupants of their company van are legal, which they should be able to do with confidence if that was the case - wouldn't you agree?
Based on your response, and that fact that you registered today - I have to assume that you are involved with Strathmeyer Forests or the Strathmeyers, and you found this post while searching the web for reporting on your company. Having said all of this, if you have a link to documentation or an article backing up your claim that none of the 6 passengers who fled the scene were illegal aliens, please do post that link or point to the documentation - and I will ask the Admin Mod to remove this post. You might also want to contact the Chicago Tribune along with the 5 or 6 PA newspapers that are still running the story.
