Arizona sheriff raids firm seeking illegal workers

PHOENIX — An Arizona sheriff who has aggressively cracked down on illegal immigration sent deputies into a Phoenix paper plant where they arrested 44 employees suspected of identity theft or immigration violations.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio says Thursday’s raid on the Royal Paper Converting Co. plant is the second in just more than a year at the facility.

Deputies sought 102 people in the raid. Of the only 44 who were arrested, 35 were jailed on suspicion of felony identity theft and nine were turned over to federal immigration agents.

Arpaio’s office has conducted numerous workplace raids in the past two years.

Royal Paper’s attorney, Julie Pace, says the company uses the e-verify system to check that employees have the right to work in the U.S. and had all required forms on file.

As E-verify finally edges into nationwide use, I feel sure that this computer oriented program can be introduced, for not just verifying the right to work in America. There are certainly other avenues, such as verifying a person’s immigration status when an injured illegal worker is dropped off at a hospital entrance, by the parasite business or industry. The company, who hired this illegal labor, should be held accountable and pay for the hospital services. Pro-illegal immigration organizations such as the ACLU, US Chamber of Commerce have seen their lawsuits dismissed, in favor of US workers. Seems insane that not only are huge business consortium’s been permitted to import at least a million immigrant workers annually, when 9 million Americans plus are out of work? THIS HAS BEEN A BUSINESS WELFARE PROGRAM FOR YEARS? PLACED FIRMLY ON THE BACKS OF ALL TAXPAYERS?

American taxpayers are forced by unfunded mandates at state levels to educate, give free health care to people who exploited our sovereignty laws. E-verify must be permanent, not voluntary and for every individual in the workplace. There cannot be any exceptions, not even for higher echelon managers? Democratic leadership have used devious stealth to undermine E-Verify, a provision of the SAVE ACT in the past months, the 287 G state police detainment of illegal suspects, Lightening ICE raids and the no-match social security letters. Learn the raw facts of illegal immigration occupancy on the Heritage Foundation website.

WE MUST KEEP THE INTENSE PRESSURE ON WASHINGTON ON ALL THESE ISSUES 202-224-3121. THIS INCLUDES NO FREE HEALTH CARE FOR FOREIGN NATIONALS. IF WE TAKE OFF THE PRESSURE, THEY WILL PUSH THROUGH AMNESTY FOR 20 MILLION PLUS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. UNDERFUND THE DEFENSE BARRIER AT OUR SOUTHERN BORDER, WHICH IN TURN WILL ALLOW MILLIONS MORE TO INVADE OUR NATION FOR FREE HANDOUTS. INCREDULOUSLY! THEY ARE LISTENING TO OUR FRUSTRATION?

There cannot be any public option health care, if taxpayers must support the illegal immigration invasion? Whistle-blowers need to call ICE of illegal goings on in your workplace?
