Time to punish the employer

With regards to the previous post: If half your workforce doesn't show up on a given day because of rumors of immigration raids, it's a safe bet that those workers are illegal aliens. As an employer I don't believe you have plausible deniability any more.

It would be like you announcing drug tests and half your workforces suddenly remembers that family emergency and takes off. Pretty safe bet that they use drugs.

Brian Bergler, who is quoted in the article can be reached at the phone number for Pahlisch Homes, 541-385-6762. You can contact them by email here.

According to this article Bergler said. "We're just anxious for all of them to return as quickly as possible."

So you need your illegal labor to return Mr. Bergler? (appropriate name)

Mr. Bergler's company, Pahlisch Homes, should be reported for the high probability that they employ illegal aliens, this can be done here.

The second company represented in the article is Latham Excavation.

Bend excavation worker Alfredo Arreola said he's been a U.S. citizen since 2000, and that when the Hispanic community gets word of U.S. immigration in town, they stay home, afraid they could be transported back to Mexico.

I'm sorry but the "Hispanic community" doesn't have anything to worry about, it's the illegal alien community that should be afraid.

"They don't want to go back," said Arreola, who works for Latham Excavation in Bend.

Too bad. It's time for them to go back and time for Latham Excavation to be shut down if they are employing illegal aliens.

Latham can be reached at this number: 541-382-8267

More contact info including email can be found here.

Hey, Daniel, here's an idea. We can put out a call for Minuteman volunteers to stand at company entrances with cameras and a sign that says, "These photos are being sent to La Migra, today, not manana." Since everyone is being photographed, there is no profiling, and I'll bet the employers will get the point. Watch the cockroaches head for the border. If these jerks threaten me in my own country.....they should prepare for the war they're begging for!

As for latham and pahlisch: If you and/or your "employees" threaten me and my family with extortion to get your way, politically, I hope you go out of business tomorrow. You and the rest of the anti-American crowd can prepare to reap the whirlwind.

Looks as Latham Excavation may have dug their own grave. Pity!

I like it, California folks are bailing out because of the decline in their society, move to bend and hire Illegals to build their new home here.

Hello?

News has it the Big White Bus was touring the Astoria area recently.

Perhaps coming soon to a neighborhood near you?

sue k., well said, as usual.

Daniel said...

Having someone stand outside the bussiness with a camera is a great idea!

I think that day labor sites like the one in Cornelius could also use this treatment!

ICE grabs 16 more ILLEGAL ALIENS today! this info via Oregon Live.
Also my Mother-in-law called from Wisconsin and said they rounded up hundreds of Illegal's in Green Bay yesterday.
They were working on Fishing Boats in the ports of Portland/Vancouver.
Americans don't want to Fish for a living, who will do those jobs now?
THANK YOU ICE-Keep it up and they will LEAVE at thier own expense.
I called and e-mailed that home builder in Bend. Told them about my Brother who builds homes there. Told them how thrilled he was too not have ILLEGAL competition.
I could tell that they have been getting an earful since the story hit. YES I did call my friend at ICE to make sure they knew what companies in Bend had a problem. It is a GREAT resource for them because YES it does tip them off!
ROGER-Instead of whining about us wanting a secure Nation why don't you take up knitting as those BURKA's take up a lot of material and your gal (if u have 1) will have to wear one soon, if you get your way.

ROGER & others that are misunderstanding our immigration laws, Here is PROOF that MEXICO, just like in the MIDDLE EAST, are forcing poverty and ignorance of their citizens, while the Government lives like KINGS. SHAME on you for supporting the corruption and the horrible poverty that these people endure.
The report, on line at http://www.cis.org/articles/2006/back306.html , includes the following findings:

* President Vicente Fox ($236,693) makes more than the leaders of France ($95,658), the U.K. ($211,434), or Canada ($75,582).

* Although they are in session only a few months a year, members of Mexico's Chamber of Deputies make $148,000 -- substantially more than their counterparts in France ($78,000), Germany ($105,000), and congressmen throughout Latin America. At the end of the last three-year term, Mexican deputies voted themselves a $28,000 ''leaving-office bonus.''

* Members of the 32 state legislatures earn on average twice the amount earned by U.S. state legislators ($60,632 vs. $28,261). The salaries and bonuses of the lawmakers in Baja California ($158,149), Guerrero ($129,630), and Guanajuato ($111,358) exceed the salaries of legislators in California ($110,880), the District of Columbia ($92,500), Michigan ($79,650), and New York ($79,500).

* Average salaries (plus Christmas stipends known as aguinaldos) place the average compensation of Mexican governors at $125,759, which exceeds by almost $10,000 the mean earnings of their U.S. counterparts ($115,778). On average, governors received aguinaldos of $14,346 in 2005 -- a year when 60 percent of Mexicans received no year-end bonuses.

* In 2002 Mexico earmarked only 6.1 percent of its GDP for health care. Mexico trailed Argentina (8.9%), Barbados (6.9%), Brazil (7.9%), Colombia (8.1%), Costa Rica (9.3%), Cuba (7.50 %), El Salvador (8.0%), Haiti (7.6%), and Nicaragua (7.9%).

* Mexico devoted just 5.3 percent of GDP to education in 2002, behind Barbados (7.6%), Cuba (9%), Honduras (7.2%), and Uruguay (8.5%).

I contacted both employers and gave them props for hiring immigrant labor. Immigrants built this country--you should all be a little more appreciative.

Bear, what if folks photograph those "minutemen volunteers" and post them on a website? Is that OK?

Scottiebill said...

Anonymous, You asked Bear if it was OK to photograph the Minutemen Volunteers and to post them on a web site. I'm sure Bear would have no problem with that. I sure don't. But, we can all be assured that your picture won't be among those posted. You don't have the guts to stand up for what is right for this country. You continue to spout only the same old ultra-liberal party line garbage that is so prevalent in your love for the criminal illegals here. Since you like the criminal illegals in our country, I have to wonder if you have applied to Mexico for citizenship yet.

It is nice to see people getting so creative in their hatred of me and my opinions.

And for the last time, I'm not "anti-immigrant" I'm anti-illegal immigrant. There is a distinction.

you may want to add bright wood corp. to your list of illegal supporters. I believe they are the largest employer in jefferson county.

Posters here are missing an important point. These employers are hiring the cheapest labor they can to reap more profits for themselves. Meanwhile, the tax paying citizens of Oregon are paying for their profits via education, healthcare and public safety.

I see in this morning's fishwrapper that Pacific CoastCabinets is moving to Woodland, Washington and building a new facility there. Scratch another company leaving Oregon because of the business climate Oregon is infamous for.
