127 Illegals busted on Airforce Base
2006-09-20
About 70 agents from as far away as California surrounded the site on Buckley Air Force Base at 5:30 a.m., according to a contractor.

What the hell are they doing on a base like that? Especially Buckley (anyone that's been there see those domes). can't say what goes on here, but you bet your ass its somethign Illegals should not be close to at all!

#8  It's not about 'jobs Americans won't do'.

Absolutely right. That part of Bush's rhetoric is a big fat lie. Truth? They take the jobs Americans could do, but at a ridiculously low wage.

#6  Let's review the corruption here. It's not about 'jobs Americans won't do'. By law and implementation, DoD contracts have to pay 'union rates' from the nearest major metro area. So someone is pocketing the difference. Chances of a Federal DA doing the job of follow up? zip.

#5  Buckley ANG Base is pretty open, except for the west end where the 2nd Space Wing is located. There's also a lot of construction supposedly going on up there, bringing the area up to code. Lot of menial jobs need to be done, the kind illegals are the "employee of choice" for. Glad to see the government is 'watching out' for our military... (snicker in disgust)

#4  Sounds like the trunks have gotten the message. This is another good sign for November. Better too late than never.

#3  I suspect that enforcement will be (selectively) tightened a good deal. I still remember Chavez' interior minister (I think) saying last year that they had "misplaced" over 12,000 (or was it 20,000?) blank passports. I have little doubt a good number of them are in Islmacist hands.

I kind of suspect that some people in Washington remember too.

#1  Update: 98 already deported.

If they would only do this a lot more - and just as fast across the nation!
