How Many Illegal Workers Are replacing Local Citizens In the Valley

[Update] The Tribune Star did an article on the Bricklayers Local #4 complaint about illegal labor recently. But it appears local politicians and media in the valley are hoping it will not be noticed by the voters until it's too late here like many other places. Then you will live with the Their are to many for us to enforce the laws. I spoke to one Political County Chairman in Terre Haute he feels it is to risky for candidates to speak up on the issue of representing the American workers over imported labor?

The present problem is Indiana Senator's Bayh and Lugar along with others at local, state and federal levels supporting and encouraging illegals by allowing selective enforcement of our laws. We don't need finding half way decent ways of handling a problem they continue to encourage the growth of everyday. Does anyone really believe they would enforce any new laws either. Enforce the present immigration laws equally and the problem will take care of it's self.

Local building projects should damn sure have legal workers. Where are the Unions and politicians in Terre Haute and surrounding areas, do they represent local workers today? None Are totally to blame if American workers/voters are that intimidated and pussyfied today allowing it to happen.

I have heard rumors that one union local attempted to picket the hotel but others refused to honor the picket line? Anyone know for sure? If questionable illegal workers are being used and you have checked or suspect no state, local or federal taxes are being paid. Turn them in to IRS, ICE, Indiana Dept.of Revenue, State Board of Health or any other agency that may have interest in their criminal activity.

Don't rely local officials or immigration they are part of the problem. Turn the employers in to the state and federal tax collector's, these critters can put a politician or vampire to shame when it comes to sucking the life [money in this case] out of someone.

I have not verified this section of the immigration laws but I doubt greedy self severing employers or politicians have either, cheap obedient labor and voters are the law today.

A post from the Indy board on Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)
of Our immigration laws.

(quote)

"Any person who . . . encourages or induces an illegal alien to . . . reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such . . . residence is . . . in violation of law, shall be punished as provided . . . for each illegal alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs . . . fined under title 18 . . . imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both."

Encouraging and hiring illegal aliens

The penalty for felony harboring is a fine and imprisonment for up to five years. The penalty for felony alien smuggling is a fine and up to ten years' imprisonment. Where the crime causes serious bodily injury or places the life of any person in jeopardy, the penalty is a fine and up to twenty years' imprisonment. If the criminal smuggling or harboring results in the death of any person, the penalty can include life imprisonment. Convictions for aiding, abetting, or conspiracy to commit alien smuggling or harboring, carry the same penalties. Courts can impose consecutive prison sentences for each alien smuggled or harbored. A court may order a convicted smuggler to pay restitution if the illegal alien smuggled qualifies as a victim under the Victim and Witness Protection Act. Conspiracy to commit crimes of sheltering, harboring, or employing illegal aliens is a separate federal offense punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 or five years' imprisonment.

If someone cannot understand or speak English...yes...it is reasonable suspicion they are an illegal.

Immigration officers and local law enforcement officers may detain an individual for a brief warrant-less interrogation where circumstances create a reasonable suspicion that the individual is illegally present in the U.S. Specific facts constituting a reasonable suspicion include evasive, nervous, or erratic behavior; dress or speech indicating foreign citizenship; and presence in an area known to contain a concentration of illegal aliens.

Tax Crimes

Employers who aid or abet the preparation of false tax returns by failing to pay income or Social Security taxes for illegal alien employees, or who knowingly make payments using false names or Social Security numbers, are subject to IRS criminal and civil sanctions. U.S. nationals who have suffered intentional discrimination because of citizenship or national origin by an employer with more than three employees may file a complaint within 180 days of the discriminatory act with the Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices, U.S. Department of Justice. In addition to the federal statutes summarized, state laws and local ordinances controlling fair labor practices, workers compensation, zoning, safe housing and rental property, nuisance, licensing, street vending, and solicitations by contractors may also apply to activities that involve illegal aliens.


We do not need new laws but rather we need brave leaders who will emerge to do what is right for America and enforce the law.
