Immigration Audit Takes Toll

Harvard Maintenance Inc., a national janitorial company, will lose over half its Minnesota work force after an immigration audit, making it the second major business in that state to be hit by an Obama administration crackdown on employers of illegal immigrants.
The audit by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will result in about 240 workers losing their jobs, the Service Employees International Union said on Monday.
J. Daniel Duffy, an executive vice president of the closely held New York-based janitorial company, declined to comment.
Harvard Maintenance began issuing dismissal letters to employees in early March and is in the process of terminating workers, according to the SEIU, which represents the workers. Harvard Maintenance gave workers 90 days to rectify irregularities in their employment-eligibility documents before informing them they could no longer work there, the union said.
"You are not legally authorized to hold employment in the United States," said a company dismissal letter to an employee that was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

She should be.
In addition, their executives should be doing jail time. They knew darn well this was going on.

“she was earning $13.22 an hour, in Minnesota,Many Americans could of used that job and income.”
But, most likely, she was dependable at work, didn’t show up with a chip on her shoulder, and appreciated having the job.
Having said that, I’m not supporting her illegal activities (in any way), just pointing out how her boss looks at her.
There does have to be an attitude change on the part of the ‘entitled’ in this country.

And for all we say about Obama, it’s hard to remember Bush doing anything like this...although if he had, they would have strung him up on civil rights charges.

What does this say about the employer? 1/2 the workforce in the state??
This is not incompetence. And it’s criminal for anyone to pretend that it is.
Wonder what the percentage of illegals comprising their workforce in southern states is, if it’s 50% in MN?
