News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

ICE deports 36 illegal aliens arrested in Fischer Homes investigation

CHICAGO - Thirty-six illegal alien workers, who were arrested in May as part of the Fischer Homes investigation, were deported to Mexico last week by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

On May 9, 2006, ICE agents arrested four supervisors of Fischer Homes Inc. and 76 illegal alien workers as they departed for job sites in Hebron, Union and Florence, Ky. The four Fischer Homes managers were subsequently indicted for harboring illegal aliens for commercial advantage or private financial gain. If convicted, they face a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, or both. Several contractors and contract companies that provided illegal workers for Fischer Homes construction sites were also indicted May 11 on criminal charges of harboring illegal aliens in connection with the scheme.
