I'm shocked that policitians would employ illegal workers. Federal immigration raids in Raleigh impact one of the city’s largest projects
One of the first casualties of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s planned crackdown in the capital city was Raleigh’s new City Hall.
The $260 million building, which will be 17 stories when it’s complete, is being built on the site of the city’s former police station. Normally the site is buzzing with activity. On the morning of Nov. 18, hours after word of the immigration raids spread, work was at a standstill. Heavy equipment was parked. Workers were scarce.
Now I'm pretty sure that such a project would have been bid under complete scrutiny. So there is likely an excess amount of cash somewhere, or do you really think they are paying Social Security, workers compensation insurance, insurance, 401K matching, whatever, for a bunch of illegal workers? Not to mention just pay union wages.
Now, I was born in Chicago, which gives me a natural distrust of politicians, especially when there is that much cash flowing around, but I don't know anything about Raleigh. Perhaps they are all as honest as the day is long.
As for the article linked above, it was written and editied by journalists, who are almost by definition Leftists today, so they are trying to appeal to feelings. People feel bad, because fathers can't go to work. I feel bad that US citizens were denied the ability to have gainful employment, but difference of opinion makes a horse race.
Hat tip to William Teach at Pirate's Cove. Huh: Immigration Operations Cause Big Raleigh Project To Stop
So, essentially, the City Of Raleigh is implicated in hiring illegal aliens and people unauthorized to work in the United States.
