Illegal aliens are working on our airplanes and in our nuclear plants and on our military bases, constructing our buildings, handling our food, driving on our roads ... all without our knowing their real qualifications, their medical condition, or even their real names and addresses.

[hattend]

Wow, another career path that Americans won't do. Thank God for Illegals!
< /sarcasm>

[politicalwit]

99.9% of employers that hire illegals do it knowing that the applicant is not eligible to work in the USA. These employers should be driven out of business.

Ruth is speechless.......ping.

The illegals should not only be charged and deported; TIMCO should also be charged (with everything the feds can come up with, including mopery) for hiring illegals - including at least one who held a fraudulently obtained A&P certificate, AND TIMCO should have its FAA papers (FBO?) yanked. Oh, and fine them out the wazoo, too.

[tgslTakoma]

OR, we could just welcome them all with open arms, as we all know they are just doing work that Americans won't do.

Let's not forget that Linda Daschle is a lobbyist for the airline industry.

Conservatives: "Illegal Aliens"

Federal law breaking grifter businesses: "undocumented immigrants"

President George Bush: "Guest workers"

The pubbies are beating the 'rats in Orwell-speak.

And the sheep just keep bleating "Baaa-Baaaaaaa"

Savage is Right, it's just two card Monte.

"AND TIMCO should have its FAA papers (FBO?)"

They have to be a liscensed repair station.

excellent post. thanks for spelling it out, in a way that even the dense should understand. This is NOT the free market way of doing business.

[snowsislander]

TIMCO's website is an interesting one. They apparently have operations also in Lake City, Florida, Macon, Georgia, and Goodyear, Arizona.

[I also notice that Governor Bush gave TIMCO a "Business Diversification Award" -- not however, due to its employment practices ;-), but for bringing diversity to Florida's business environment.]

We'll diversify ourselves into a third-world nation.

[norraad]

Yep, gangs of mexicans are now brought in to do oil refinery turn-arounds.

Of all people who could afford to pay good wages .

[Bogolyubski]

Better yet, all of the TIMCO honchos and major stockholders who knew of this should go to jail and face an endless series of civil actions that will leave them peniless. Just another bunch od crooks who pass themselves off as "entrepeneurs." They're in the wrong industry. "Waste management" would be more appropriate.
