The owner of Tarrasco Steel, a company that supplied workers on the Biloxi Bay Bridge, was arrested and charged with hiring illegals on projects in three states. Some had improper welding certification. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Jose Gonzalez. Tarrasco Steel was hired as a subcontractor for rebar installation services to major projects in Mississipi, Louisiana, and Tennessee. The federal government considers those bridges as critical infrastructure, and they were part of routine inspections of facilities that if damaged could pose a threat to national security and public safety. "There is a serious public safety concern when illegal aliens, who are not authorized to work in the country legally, and who do not possess valid welding certifications, are employed in the construction of bridges in our communities," said Micheal Holt, special agent in charge of the Customs Office of Investigations. Several federal agencies confirmed the majority of Tarrasco Steel employees were using bogus Social Security numbers. They allege Gonzalez falsified information on the I-9 Employee Eligibility forms. Investigators learned that workers had inappropriate welding certifications.

What a joke. Verizon is running their fiber optics cables in my NJ neighborhood and everyone is asking why all the Verizon workers happen to be Mexicans. Hey, of course, Americans won’t do work for the biggest corporate entities on earth. We don’t need those 12 million jobs. No one else would apply.
I hope that each of the crimaliens gets five year for social security fraud and that Gonzalez gets five years on each of twenty-nine counts to be served consecutively.
“Verizon is running their fiber optics cables in my NJ neighborhood and everyone is asking why all the Verizon workers happen to be Mexicans.”
Have you reported them?
Mostly the Mexicans are used for the physical, outside from the street to the house install. A more skilled type generally finishes the job inside.
It’s the same thing going on everywhere. Verizon subcontracts out the outside work, and the subcontractors are the ones hiring the Mexicans. Just like the landscapers, the construction folks, and so on.
When I had my FIOS installed, the Mexicans brought the fiber to the house, and a genuine American brought it inside and finished the hookup in the house and on the street.
I guess they might, if a warehouse caved in.
Good. I hope many more follow this traitor.
Have you reported them?
report them to whom??? the lib/dems that run nj are desperately trying to make them legal and of course give them more and more welfare benefits!!!!!!
in nj ...if someone reports them ~ they are the criminal!!!!

Our COUNTY sewer project in my neighborhood was all Mexicans down to the foreman (the only guy who could speak English). I have no idea how that happened in Atlanta of all places where cushy county jobs are a birth rite.
Pissed me off especially when the wives of the workers came by every day to bring them lunch with the kids in tow in their brand new Expeditions, Tahoes, Suburbans etc.
Cross linking to other comments about this activity should anyone be interested in them from yesterday......

Most (if not all) of the trapped miners in Utah are illegals, too.
BTW it's possible that some Mexican workers are legal or second generation, but when you have millions of illegals it creates a negative assumption.
Bingo.
The law says the employer can ask for the ss number but cannot demand to see the card. We file the reports to the IRS and Texas Workforce Commission every three months reporting names, ss numbers and quarterly salaries. About 3 or 4 months later we get a notice from the IRS with a lest of the names and numbers stating that most of the numbers don't seem to match the names .
It's a one page list but the notice is usually 10 or more pages long telling us what the employer can and cannot request to see from the person with the ss number that does not match. All of the names are, of course, hispanic but the IRS goes so far as to assume that the employer may have made a clerical error in reporting.
The employer calls a man in who can speak a little english and asks him to tell the men that they need to give him their ss numbers again. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that it's a combination of 9 numbers. The illegals have a little meeting out in the yard and we're presented with a new list of numbers to go with the names (some of them aren't even close to the previous numbers). I re-submit the report and in another 3 or 4 months we get another notice from the IRS about bad numbers. This has gone on for 6 or 8 years now.
I've asked the employer why he hires illegals and he said he has to or he can't stay in business because his competitors hire illegals.
Yeah, lib elitists have no trouble believing that no American would work for a measly $40 an hour. This tells us a lot about these “caring, compassionate” people and who they really are.
“Pissed me off especially when the wives of the workers came by every day to bring them lunch with the kids in tow in their brand new Expeditions, Tahoes, Suburbans etc.”
Poor crimaliens. Out here in California, the wives drive Lincoln Navigators or Cadillac Escalades. The new trend is the male crimaliens driving Lincoln or Cadillac tricked out phoney pickups.
Isn’t it just amazing that the poor (I mean economically) African Americans and union workers are being royally screwed while jobs are taken by millions of low wage non Americans? The liberal dems seem to have misplaced all those constituents. But then I guess after succesfully consigning their kids to hell in horrible urban public schools, the dems knew they could get away with anything.
Considering how rapidly our Mexican population has grown in GA there is just no way they are even close to legal. And there is really no history of Mexicans here so second gen only works when dad and son swim the Chattahoochee together.
