COMPANY BUSTED FOR ILLEGALS

LOS ANGELES -- More than 100 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided a printer supply manufacturer in the San Fernando Valley on Thursday, taking into custody about 120 employees on documentation-related charges and arresting eight on federal criminal charges, authorities said.  The raid at the offices of Micro Solutions Enterprises began around 3:30 p.m., said Virginia Kice, an ICE spokeswoman, who said the basis for the criminal warrant that led to the raid was under seal.

The eight people were arrested in connection with accusations they provided fraudulent information to get their jobs, Kice said. All of the 120 people taken into custody for illegal immigration status were interviewed for what Kice called "humanitarian issues."  

About 40, including the elderly and those with children, were released to await a hearing before an immigration judge, Kice said.

Approximately 80 more remained in the custody of immigration officials for potential deportation. 

The American Civil Liberties Union said it is offering free legal representation to anyone taken into custody.  

"We're very concerned that people who were detained be given the opportunity to meet with a lawyer who can advise them of their rights," said ACLU lawyer Ahilan Arulanantham. "Some of them may be eligible for release on bond."  Arulanantham said ACLU attorneys who rushed to the scene of the raid were not allowed to talk to detainees. 

 Micro Solutions Enterprises, which manufactures and distributes toner cartridges, inkjets and other printer accessories, is family owned and operates facilities in California, Pennsylvania, Mexico and Canada, according to its Web site.

 A message left after hours with the company was not immediately returned.

This says it all...

"We're very concerned that people who were detained be given the opportunity to meet with a lawyer who can advise them of their rights,"

(shakes head in disgust)

For every "right" we give an "illegal" we loose one of our own.

What rights is the ACLU talking about? If those folks are here illegally, they DON'T have any rights, except the right to be shipped back to where they came from as quickly and cheaply as possible, children or no children, elderly or not! THEY ARE ILLEGAL!!! If they are caught back in the US a second time, they should get long jail sentences in Tent City in Texas, where they will help pay for their own incarceration.

Imet my wife 6yrs ago. She was visiting her niece. She is from Morocco. At the time she could speak no english. We got married not too long after I met her. She is here legally now but we still have a road ahead to get her citizenship. She made it a point to learn english and now speaks it well. Lawyer fees were over $5,000.00. We spent many trips to the INS to wait in long lines. Ask me if I feel bad for the illegals from Mexico!!! Who the hell do they think they are???

But wait a minute folks, before we start to deport them back across the border, lets give them the opportunity for work that they came here seeking.

Lets put them to work building a fence along the border. They sneak into this country looking to take jobs away from U.S. citizens, building a fence sounds like a great opportunity for some work in the U.S. And their pay can be diverted back to the Government to help pay towards the taxes they have gotten away with not paying.

People say they are just doing the jobs that Americans are unwilling to do.
I think if you ask some of the homeless people downtown how they would like a job, no matter how little the pay, most of them would jump at the chance to get themselves out of the hole.
I have not had a steady job for almost five years, and trust me, any steady income is better than hit and miss.

My brother who is up in age just completed his 'internship?' in driving trucks and now operates on his own. He's not making any money yet but he's trying and fellow truckers are helping him like the old days when Americans helped each other. I have a new respect for truckers now. He hasn't mentioned anything about illegals yet.
