It's good to know the Feds are hard at work.

Colvin said the workers apparently entered the United States through Mexico, the Philippines and Peru.

FYI BUMP

"This is very sad for us. Some of these people have become friends and were longtime employees," Bennett said. "The picture that is often painted is (that) these are negative people, but in this case, though some of them may be, it certainly wasn't all of them. They were very hardworking, very professional people who, yes, had bad documents."

Rolling eyes. ROFLMAO. Uh huh...bad documents.

Its planes undergo repair, modifications and painting at the Fort Worth facility

Wonder how many other airlines have illegals working as airplane mechanics.

When something like deportation takes place instead of just arrest, and it begins to happen "after" the holes in the dike are plugged, I will then begin to believe that the ins and border patrol are doing anything other than a dance to preserve the appearance of doing something sort of like what we the people might expect them to be doing.

Bennett said that while all employees had provided the company documentation,...some of the documents were fraudulent..."This is very sad for us..."

Yeah.
Now they'll have to start paying higher wages - and benefits. Boo-hoo.

When the Roman Empire fell due to invasion by the barbarians, the Roman citizens did not resist the invaders. Heck, the invaders looked like them, and by that time, the Roman citizens had no real interest in preserving their society.

Racial quotas may actually force businesses to hire illegals.
It's better than having the ACLU lawyers breathing down your back.

If there's terrorist attacks by illegals working in America, blame the left for their political correctness laws. That's how they get here, plan here, and kill here.
Liberals believe they can be rehabilitated and become part of the collective, the colony of mind controled indoctrobot paracites living off the tax paying host as they are. It's a concept of one big utopian party.

"The airline's headquarters are now in Fort Lauderdale, Fla."

Florida again....suprize, suprize!

"I feel sorry for the good people -- the good workers," the mechanic said. "They work for money. Everybody works for money and to put food on the table."

They were illegals you idiot...even if it turns out they DON'T have ties to Abu Sayef (unlikely)...if they are such "good people" why didn't they go through proper legal channels like "good people" WHO ARE HONEST do???

(And were those "mechanics licenses" valid or FORGED??)

Employers who fail to confirm the legal status of employees should spend time in prison, IMO.

[WaterDragon]

Neighbors and family are always telling us how nice the criminals are, how shocked they are. Well, I've heard it said that bin Laden is a very gentle, generous man.

Over three thousand TRULY nice, unsuspecting people are dead, because of gentle bin Laden and folks like those hard working aviation mechanics.

There's a huge difference between thinking and feeling. Feelings say how awful, that murderer just got married. Thinking says I'm pi$$ed because I got taken in by that turkey.

They were very hardworking, very professional people who, yes, had bad documents.

It's considered a felony if it's American citizens presenting false identification to commit a crime. We need to expand this to foreigners too. These are felons, all foreigners using forged and stolen Social Security numbers are committing felony crimes. They use them to obtain American jobs and American welfare benefits which places most of the 8 million illegals apart from a few who work for cash and don't present false papers into a felon category.

Yeah, and so did the 2,823 people in the WTC.

Can't wait to see how these 'guilt and suspicion by association' precedents work out when another McVeigh and 'machine-gun' Reno comes along.

It will make honest commenting here on FR an act of daring-do don't you think?

JUST ONE CORRECTION

A terrorist group is not an extremist group they are 2 totaly different things !

When an exact number in a news story is known, it is used. In this case, 28 workers were arrested.

On the other hand, when a company reports it's number of workers to the press, they always tend to overstate. In this case, we learned that the facility employs over 100 people. Now, the catch here is that is probably no more than 110.

The troubling issue here is that approximately 30 percent of their workforce were arrested. 30 percent.

What we need here is an investigation of this company's hiring practices.

Something is afoot.
