Authorities say Tacuri built his business by exploiting illegal immigrants, including one as young as 13. At its peak, they said, he had 80 employees, some of whom rented rooms in his house. A few workers told authorities that Tacuri did not withhold taxes or pay them overtime.

The democrats and the MSM are always wailing about stagnant wages for the working poor and middle class. Illegal immigration is the reason. How in the world can a legitimate roofer pay his crew a decent wage when competing against Ecuadoran slave labor?

Academics and politicians blame globialization for wage stagnation. Globalization certainly is part of the reason, however illegal immigration is likely the primary cause. Wake up America.

No wonder the Democrats can not get enough tax money to pay for health care.
