Ya gotta love the part about NONE of them speaking English, even the Polish contractor!
Screw ‘em. Send ‘em back where they came from if they aren’t here legally...and keep their money!
Is it the model of Mexican transportation she got pregnant in?
And what is a Jitney bus? I live in the United States, and I've never seen nor heard of a Jitney bus before.
The problem of illegal immigration should be handled first and foremost at the border.
As a second line of defense, employers who knowingly hire illegals should be heavily fined and the employees deported.
As for those who try to rip any laborer off, legal or illegal, and run, in effect, a slave-labor operation, they should be heavily fined and spend some time in jail.
There are no good actors here, from the US government on down.
Wow... getting your butt kicked by Jesus... who is going to believe that?
They are two "wrongs" here. If we fixed the immigration problem, they both would go away.
“And what is a Jitney bus? I live in the United States, and I’ve never seen nor heard of a Jitney bus before.”
It’s not your Daddy’s USA anymore....
A ‘Jitney’ is an illegal, unlicensed ... uh UNDOCUMENTED’ (sarc) vehicle that drives people for a fee. In big city ghettos they have ‘Jitney Cabs’.
The 'Jitney Bus' musat be a new 'immigrant' thing :-)
Well, then don't come here to work illegally. Problem solved!

Gallindo, who visited the men in jail, said the men understood that they would keep the tools as collateral for payment -- $180 a day per person.
$180 a day per person? For illegal alien day laborers? That's $18 per hour for their "10 hour day". Not likely!

"It would be a very sad ending if these three men who were here to work hard and put food on the table, who put in honest work and weren't paid who beat the crap out of their boss and stole his tools and were then arrested, would be forced to separate from their children," Sapone said.
There, fixed it.

Why are their children here instead of back home? Who pays for their day care or schooling? What do they do when they get sick?
Do you know how many Europreans, Asians, Africans and South Americans come here and work hard to send money home to their families? I personally know many. Why is it that the mexicans are the only ones who get to bring the whole village with them at our expense?
Oh yes it would! What are these guys gonna do? Take him to court? If you hire illegal immigrants you get what you deserve.
The US courts are not available to them. Deport them. Case closed.
It’s odd that this “Polish contractor” is never named, almost as odd as “Coyotecatl-Aca” for a Mexican surname.
But, as far as I’m concerned, these three scammers got scammed themselves. All parties involved broke the law, and should be hauled before a judge. Assault and battery, theft, immigration violations and probably identity theft for the three. Tax evasion at a minimum for the unnamed Polish contractor.
It is because they can just walk over the border!
Why are they not facing Certain Deportation?
I knew that....my question is why do we allow/encourage it.
I can’t take anyone’s side on this one. The immigrants are breaking the law by being here, and the guy who got beat up is a bum looking for cheap labor, and then cheating them out of their money.

I guess it depends on where in the US you live. Jitneys are well known around NYC/LI. The most famous is the 'Hamptons Jitney' that delivers folks from NYC to the East End.
Sections of Queens and Brooklyn run unlicensed "gypsy" 15 passenger vans along City Bus routes. They charge charge less and are more flexible about where they will stop to take on or drop off passengers. They are also called jitneys.
We need Judge Judy or Judge Mathis to sort this all out.
