#1 good comment Steve. This actually makes me mad. They arrest some poor illegals trying to make some money but no mention of the culprits that hired them and got them on to the base. So we get to spend oodles of court money for ...what? If "they" really wanted to make a point about how they were getting tough on illegal on military bases- they would have arrested the employers responsible for bringing them there.

BS. Make some money? The federal laws stipulate that cost estimates and budgeting means that pay is calculated at union rates of the nearest metro area. That means the contractor and subcontractor are using illegals and 1 - taking the job which there are indeed Americans willing to work for [which by the way is why many of these jobs are justified for local employment opportunities] and 2 - pocketing the difference.

#3 Exactly right. It's a double whammy for the taxpayers. The workers aren't making much, and I think it's been pretty well established that the meager wage they make and the small amount of taxes they pay are more than offset by the burden they become to local and state governments providing social services. The contractor bills the government as if he were paying them a much larger salary, soaking the taxpayers again.

BTW, here in San Antonio there are LOADS of illegals working on Randolph AFB, Lackland AFB, Brooks, Ft. Sam Houston, etc, every single day!

#4 mind boggling.
It only figures that some of these illegals MAY have access to secure sites. How can we rule it out that they don't? If they are able to get on base to begin with is pretty impressive to me.
For me to get on base needing all sorts of documentation, then to learn of the shear numbers of illegals on all of these bases from mcsegeek1 here angers me to no end.
On a side note; while at work I was asked to witness a signature for a paternity form. The supposed father of the baby got out his wallet and shuffled through 3 driver's licenses that I myself saw. I couldn't in good conscience witness this paperwork. He got angry with me but I told him I couldn't possibly after seeing all of his different ID's.

#5 Find their employer and JAIL HIM.

He was taking in high contract rates and robably paying the illegals jack-squat under the table.

Deport the illegals, but put that employer IN JAIL where he belongs.
