Time Text
Welcome back to the Rush Limbaugh Program.
Again, our phone number 1-800-282-2882 coming at you from the left coast today and right at the international border that contains not only the most effective fence along our southern border with Mexico, but also the busiest legal border crossing in the world.
So we have the solution to this immigration thing.
I think we have it.
In fact, we've been so effective here in this sector in terms of deterring the smugglers of whatever, people or drugs or whatever, we've been so successful that the Border Patrol has now discovered 31, and who knows how many more there are, tunnels under the fence we have.
That's how much deterrence there actually has been in this, that they would have to go to the trouble of building, and some of these are pretty sophisticated mining, you know, shoring up and little railways and concrete floors and all that, to put in this kind of infrastructure.
We're trying to figure out how to use those tunnels now.
But in any event, that's a local tourism and trade matter.
But I think the fence thing has to go really all the way down the border to make it clear that, yes, we're going to have a neighborly relationship with Mexico.
We have to.
Yes, we're going to trade and we're going to tourist and we're going to truck and whatever we're going to do between each other.
But we're going to do it with mutual respect.
We're going to do it with mutual respect.
Mexicans demand, as they should, that we follow their draconian immigration laws in Mexico.
We should demand that Mexicans, and all others for that matter, who are here in the United States expecting to break into our country and then demanding all sorts of civil rights and jobs and subsidies, that it just isn't going to happen that way.
And by the way, it's gone way beyond that.
I'm sure you know this, but let me just repeat, I didn't until I got over the weekend.
I was in Las Vegas over in Vegas.
And not only did I go through a car wash in which American teenagers were working, huh?
And where's the Ecuadoran guy that I'm used to down at my place in San Diego?
I mean, you know, in San Diego, we kind of got used to the fact that most of Latin America is here.
Over in Vegas, apparently, you know, they still have American teenagers employed.
Anyway, we found out that the, I don't know whether you saw the news article on this, that someone was blown up in the Luxor Casino Resort parking lot.
Well, it turns out that the person blown up was illegally in the United States, had been hitting on the girlfriend of another person who was illegally in the United States, and that person and his friend, illegally in the United States, had planted the bomb in front of the girlfriend to let her and the guy who was blown up and killed know that they were not to be messed with.
Hello, what are you all doing in the United States in the first place?
So tonight, there's going to be a debate among the Republican candidates, and I'd like to, in light of their past, you talk about the inconsistencies on the abortion issue, let's talk about the inconsistencies on the immigration issue.
Because before Fort Dix, before the three of the six Fort Dix six who wanted to AK-47 and frag our officers there and men at Fort Dix, before we had uncovered that, there was the Lackawanna, there was all these other people who had overstayed their visas, who'd crawled across the border, whoever they were, three of the six in the Fort Dix matter, smuggled apparently as kids across the Mexican border.
Hundreds of thousands of what the Border Patrol calls OTMs or other than Mexicans apprehended across the border.
Prayer rugs and Korans and shawls and stuff found amidst the debris of people streaming across our border and destroying the border environment, by the way, to narry a peep from the environmentalist lobby.
So, how serious is this immigration issue?
I think it's about as serious as it gets in terms of national security.
Forget about the other stuff, even the economics and the jobs and all that.
How about national security?
So, for example, I mean, Rush did a little parody because all you can do is make fun of John McCain as he tries to link up with Ted Kennedy to come up with so-called immigration reform.
Here's a little bit of that parody from a while back on The Rush Show.
So, there you have it.
So, what will he say tonight?
Because apparently, he and Brownback and others out there in Iowa and other places campaigning have come to the frustration that Senator Brownbach voiced a couple of weeks ago at a meeting in Iowa of average folks saying, Do you have any other concerns other than the border?
In any event, the midnight oil was burning at the Senate office buildings last night.
Senator Martinez, Senator Kyle from Arizona, a number of people from the Bush administration, and those from the Democrat majority have been looking at what they can do to come back because Harry Reid has said, Harry Reid, who last week has had something to say about every issue on the table, except, and I don't mean to interrupt myself, but I found this kind of curious.
Harry Reid has had something to say about everything on the table as a leader of the Senate majority, except the Reverend Al Sharpton's comments to Mitt Romney about, concerning Mitt Romney, about Mormonism and believers.
If you remember this Al Sharpton comment, we don't need to go back to that.
But Mr. Reed, one would expect, would have a comment about Mr. Sharpton, since Mr. Reed, as well, is a Mormon.
So it seems to me that his comments on everything else are kind of interesting, but what about that?
So back to immigration.
Reid has said, look, we've got to do something this week.
Either we're going to bring back the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill, or you're going to come up with something that we can all sign on on because we're not going to give a victory to this president on anything if it's done and we get all the illegals signed up as Democrat voters.
Oops, I mean, if we get everybody a citizenship, path to citizenship, that's it, path to citizenship, then we want to go forward.
We want to go forward with that.
And here was George Bush talking about how this is going to be the final achievement he wants to make in his presidency was immigration reform.
Well, the idea of reform, the word reform, is code for amnesty.
Because I want to hear about immigration security.
I want to hear about securing the border.
I want to hear about a president who says, I want to know who's coming across the border, identify them.
They're legally here.
If they've come here to work and they're legally here, God bless them.
Welcome to America.
That's how we all got here, what our ancestors did.
I'm not anti-immigration, shouldn't be, because it's the reality of life that America has built on immigrants in the past.
And certainly now, we've got quite a load of them.
But the point being that most of them are going to contribute over time to a better America.
Some of them simply represent gangland Latin America, the MS-13 and others, taking over.
Some of them represent the worst of mankind.
We've got to know who's coming across, whether they're terrorists or strawberry pickers.
I mean, we've got to be able to say there's a difference.
We know, And we've got to be able to match our needs in this economy to what we want from immigration because Americans took those jobs in New Bedford at the backpack-making plant.
Americans took the jobs at the Swift and Company that had been hiring largely illegals and who claimed they couldn't get Americans to do the work.
That was nonsense.
That was a lie.
These folks aren't just coming here to do work that Americans won't do.
They're coming here apparently to plant bombs Americans won't plant, to shoot soldiers Americans don't want shot, to molest kids that would otherwise not be molested.
I mean, look at the local crime roster in your community.
So, yes, it's a national security issue that I'd like to see some answers.
What do you want to hear from the Republicans on this issue?
Let's go to Susan in Baltimore, Maryland.
Susan, welcome to the Rush Show.
Hi, Roger.
Hi.
I love so much when you're on.
I'm so happy when I hear you're going to be on.
Thank you.
I wish you were on our station regularly.
But anyway, I would like to hear about deportation of the so-called 12 million that are here.
I really think that we need to deport so many of them.
It was on CBS one night, the billions they're costing us for their health care and for their children that they're born here, their anchor babies, and the incarceration, and the 82 percent of drugs that come from Mexico.
And just think if we could shut down that, the drugs, we have so many murders in Maryland and everywhere because of the drugs that I just would love to hear the word deportation.
John McCarthy.
Well, let me come back to that, Susan.
I'm going to take my break, but come back.
And you've raised the issue, and I want to come back and tell you why it isn't even necessary if we do this right.
I'm Roger Hedgecock, Infor Rush.
Let's take a short break.
Come back with your call after this.
Roger Hedgecock, Infrush, Limbaugh, and the Border Patrol is sponsoring a NASCAR.
That's right, a race car in the NASCAR, NASCAR Bush Series car.
It has to do with hiring and recruiting.
They're into hiring and recruiting, but they haven't yet told the new recruits how they're going to keep them out of jail for violating the civil rights of people illegally coming into our country.
This has happened along our border, and the morale of our Border Patrol is at rock bottom.
You must know that George Bush's U.S. attorney, here's one who should have been fired, down in El Paso, Johnny Sutton, prosecuted Nacho Ramos and Jose Compeon, two Border Patrol officers,
put them in jail for 11 and 12 years respectively in the Federal Penitentiary for shooting in the butt a many-time illegal alien drug smuggler who on that day had 700-plus pounds of marijuana in the vehicle he was driving.
He attempted to abandon it and run back across the border, flash some kind of something that the officers struggled with them.
They urged him to stop.
He wouldn't.
They fired.
He kept running.
They didn't even know they hit him.
They're in jail now for doing their job.
It's a catastrophe and a disgrace.
So you can have a NASCAR.
You can have a Hooters.
You can have whatever you want to have in terms of recruiting people into the Border Patrol.
But until you explain whether or not the Border Patrol agents, new or old, are going to be allowed to do their job or they're going to be jailed for doing their job, which seems to be the trend in the Border Patrol, Mr. Aguilar, the chief Border Patrol agent, then until you do that, I don't know how you're going to recruit people.
Who would want the job when they're going to go to jail and the good guys are going to jail and the bad guys are going to be running drugs across the border with impunity and immunity.
Yikes.
All right, now back to Susan's point.
What about rounding them up and deporting them?
I don't want you to fall into the left here.
Do not fall into the trap of the left.
Everyone who wants an open border begins every discussion with me on the border by saying, well, what are you going to do?
Round everybody up?
No.
Not going to round anybody up.
Why do people come here illegally to the United States?
Everyone on all sides of this issue will tell you the answer to that question is because of the jobs, the economic opportunity.
Wouldn't you, Roger?
If you were a peasant in Oaxaca, wouldn't you come?
Yeah, of course.
Okay?
So everyone agrees it's the job magnet that's drawing the illegals to this country.
We also know where they're working.
We know exactly where they're working.
I will tell you the Bush administration won't, that they have 9.5 million last year, 9.5 million Social Security numbers reported on the 1040 that were inconsistent with the name.
So they know, at least as to those, they're probably illegal.
99% of those aren't clerical errors, folks.
So if you go to those employers and you notify them, you know, you're going to have to clarify this situation.
You're going to have to verify that the documents you're getting are really as to that person.
We're going to have to verify they're in our computer.
Not all of the problem gets put away, but a whole lot of it does.
I would guess three-quarters to 80% of it goes away.
And if it goes away and there's no job, where does that person go?
Now, they work illegally under the table.
I mean, heck, that's going on everywhere.
Maybe.
But not really for a long time.
Not in construction, not in the defense contractors, not in the higher-end jobs that the illegals are doing now.
Because if you really have employer verification, and we can do that now with Social Security numbers, we don't need any tattoos, we don't need any implants, we don't need any, you know, we don't need any of that stuff.
That, again, is a trap of the left.
What do you want to do, Roger?
Tattoo everybody?
No.
But what is that card?
You've got the Social Security number.
It's yours, right?
Yeah.
Well, it's also used by 16 guys working in the meat rendering plant in South Carolina.
Well, what are you going to, I'm just using that as a hypothetical.
What are you going to do?
Well, the meat rendering plant, the meat processing plant, had better be verifying their employees with Social Security Administration.
And if they get back a letter saying, no, those names don't match with those numbers, they've got to have the right as employers to fire those people because right now their fear is, as employers, if they fire those people because their Social Security number doesn't match the name, they get a civil rights lawsuit.
They get an unfair termination, an unlawful termination lawsuit.
That's what they're facing as employers.
We've got to straighten that out.
And then the problem goes away because people will go home.
It's happened before.
Every downturn in this country in the economy that we've experienced here in Southern California, people who are here illegally and the jobs go away, they simply go back to their home country.
Will everybody do it?
I doubt it.
But will most of them do it?
Yeah.
It's happened before.
I'm not speaking hypothetically about this.
This is the history of illegal aliens in this state.
So, ladies and gentlemen, when I was watching, and maybe you were watching in L.A., the police now, of course, are deemed guilty.
They are proven guilty before they're proven guilty.
They are assumed to be guilty before there's a trial or an investigation or any findings whatsoever because some people Got hit with rubber bullets and hit with some batons because they wouldn't move in a place where they shouldn't be in MacArthur Park.
What you need to know about MacArthur Park in L.A. is that it is owned by the MS-13 gang and related gangs.
It is such a Central American area of L.A. that there's actually been a petition from the surrounding neighborhood to the City Council of L.A. to designate it as a Central American city.
The police do not even go there unless they're kind of driving through rather hurriedly.
You can go to MacArthur Park and buy any identification you want.
Any passport to any country, any identification you need here, driver's license, whatever you need, whatever amount of money, you don't have to go to Tijuana anymore.
Go to MacArthur Park.
This is why the open border activists, La Raza and Maldef, and La Vaz de Aslan, those folks, the radical left open border people who really are anti-American, who really are using this issue to tear down America, they wanted a rally there, but they didn't want that peaceful rally because only one-tenth of the people showed up this year that they did last year.
So they wanted it on May Day, they wanted the typical anarchist communist confrontation with the police and then wanted to make the police the issue and not the fact that nobody turned out for their stupid demonstration.
So they made the police the issue.
And Villa Ragosa, the mayor of LA, that we love to call Villa Reconquista, this guy, Villa La Raza, blames the police immediately.
He wasn't even in the country and he blamed the police.
He didn't even see.
On my website, I've got video taken by people who were in the illegal alien camp.
They want an open border.
They were taking video, and you can see the anarchists and communists, rogerhedgecock.com.
Just check the video yourself that you're not seeing in the mainstream press.
Back after this.
Yeah, a little Latin music to get us into the mood here.
And I'll tell you, the people I've met out here and elsewhere throughout the country that are the most outraged by the idea of amnesty for people who've broken into the country are people who have legally immigrated to the country, who have gone through the hoops, who have played by the rules, and suddenly some guy can jump the line.
I mean, you know how you'd feel.
You wait a long time to get into something in some kind of queue, and it's very maddening.
You get to the front, you finally achieve, and just as you get there, some guy cuts in front of you.
How would you feel?
What is it about the memory of your legal immigrant forebears that you want to violate by advocating the idea that all these people who jumped the line, 12 million, 20 million, what's the number?
Who knows?
Nobody does, apparently, they ought to all jump the line ahead of the people who've been waiting patiently to be legal immigrants to this country, who want to be Americans, who want to come here to be Americans.
I mean, it's crazy.
This whole Albanian connection.
I'm sure many of those Albanians that Bill Clinton led in refugee after the Kosovo incident in the late 1990s that came into this country, I'm sure they're patriotic Americans.
I'm sure many of them have gone on to start businesses and families, and they're proud of their achievements here in this country.
But you know, it only took a couple of them to remind us that they're still subject to the teachings of the mosque, of the Wahhabist extremists who get a hold of these young guys and turn them into people who want to go up the Poconos and shoot their AK-47s and invade Vordix, including three guys that were smuggled apparently across the southern border.
It's a little crazy.
Let me see what you think about this.
Doug in Santa Monica, California, you're on.
Hi, Doug.
Roger, thanks for the brilliant job you're doing on immigration.
Your points are just wonderful.
They're clear and they're rational.
But it all comes under a larger concept, and I don't hear the term used very much, and that's called attrition.
If we secure the border, number one, and do things such as set up an infrastructure where any illegal alien has contact with law enforcement, he's out of here.
And they say, well, it's a federal job and so forth and so on, but so is bank robbery.
And police are certainly able to capture bank robbers, even though it's a felony offense.
Yeah, but bank robbers don't have demonstrations, and they don't have consul generals in this country advocating for them, and they don't have lawyers, and they don't have leftist pressure groups, and they don't have Lavazda Aslan and all this stuff.
You know, the infrastructure that is supporting these illegals in this country is enormous.
It is indeed.
But the concept of attrition is important.
We spend $2.3 billion on flowers.
What do you mean by attrition?
Over 10 or 20 years, if the border is secured, jobs are not available, it becomes illegal to send money.
Well, that's what I was just saying.
In other words, you've got to have two things that are immediately done.
You've got to know who's coming across the border.
That means securing the border, and that means using a fence, as we've done at San Diego successfully.
Number two, you've got to know who's in the workplace.
You've got to know that they're legally there.
The employers have a responsibility.
The government has a responsibility to work with them, verify the numbers, verify these people, and jobs should go to Americans and people legally in this country, period.
I mean, end of discussion.
Once you do those two things, then obviously the magnet gets turned off in terms of illegals coming here figuring they just work wherever and people have whatever fake document they need, and the employer just kind of lets it slide and exploits them.
I was in a debate.
This was on Fox with some guy from Air America.
And he's saying, well, Roger, what do you want to do?
Have a $10 apple?
I mean, seniors won't be able to get their apples for under $10 if we don't have these illegal.
So what is the left really saying here?
Are they really saying that the exploitation of a whole underclass of brown-skinned people is necessary for me to have a cheap apple?
In other words, where is the logic from the left on this or the war or anything else?
Let's take them to their logical conclusion.
If they're really for open borders and the continued exploitation of people, then let's get that out in the open.
You open border people, you Lavaz de Aslan, you La Raza people, you know, if you're really saying that we ought to open our border to everyone who wants to come here and get a job, understanding the people who do come here and get a job and who work under the table and who work for cash and get exploited and sometimes not paid and live in canyons and camp over here and do this and that to get those jobs.
If you really think we ought to have an underclass of that kind of person making homelessness look like a luxury deal, because that's where it's at for too many of these homeless, too many of these illegals in our community, then let's get that out in the open because I do not advocate that.
That's not the America I want to see.
I want to hear these Republican candidates respond to that this evening, too.
Here's Mark on a cell in North Carolina.
Go ahead, Mark.
Well, thank you, Mr. Hedgecock, for taking my call.
You're indeed a gift and national treasurer.
I'd like to say that, please.
I just heard Senator Barack Obama yesterday speaking about the poor young men on the corner with no jobs and no hope in this community and of our America.
And I'm wondering, well, who's taking their jobs?
You know, I started busing tables and washing dishes, and it's made me a better person, and I think contributed to my personal success in life and my growth in life.
However, I do see the issue on the border as, and I agree wholeheartedly with your fundamental requirements, your first two solutions there.
I think a third one might be that we might want to consider is to go down into that country because it is a corrupt country.
And unfortunately, those people, the power is held and the wealth is held in the hands of few, and there is very little hope within the country.
Yeah, but how do you change that?
You know, after Iraq, I'm a little bit more hesitant than I even used to be about this idea of transforming other countries.
How do you think we could actually transform since it's on a basically whole different culture?
They have the Napoleonic Code.
They have the old feudal system from Spain.
They have the old Aztec feudal system.
These are not people who are into the heritage of the Magna Carta and individual freedoms and all that stuff and innocent until proven guilty, all that stuff that we assume as Americans, they have a far different orientation.
I agree.
And the job magnet, I'm going to refer to the job magnets that you said here.
We can create job magnets, I think, and it's been proven that you can actually change the economy or the agriculture in arid environments.
If we go down there and we help them create their own farms, we need to show them how to irrigate water, help them do it economically.
I guess there have been programs similar to this in the past, like Hands Across the Border or whatever.
But we need to get a magnet that keeps them down there.
And if we can help them produce the labor-intensive stuff, because we don't need that up here anyway, we've got farm machinery.
Well, Tom, I'll tell you what.
I'll tell you what.
You're absolutely right.
It's our fondest hope.
It's our dream.
We've been trying to do this for years.
There is, at this present moment, little hope that this can be accomplished.
As you point out, Mexico is governed by the famous 100 families.
The richest, a guy richer than Warren Buffett lives in Mexico City because he controls a whole lot of their economy.
It is run as a feudal system with 98% serfs and 1% middle class and 1 tenth of 1% owning just about everything.
And that's the way they've run it for thousands of years.
I'd love to see them turn into a free market capitalist Singapore or what have you, but it isn't likely to happen.
What needs to happen is the Mexicans themselves need to transform their country.
Instead of coming here and finding opportunity here, they're going to have to find an opportunity one way or another in their own country.
It is really their problem.
Now, again, many of them are going to migrate here legally.
I'm not trying to say exclude people because that would be another leftist trap.
Legal immigration makes sense for America when done right, always has.
Illegal immigration is undermining our country, filling our jails, undermining the rule of law, making our ⁇ I don't know about your K-12 system in your community, but it's in a death spiral in my community.
So that's where we're at.
And we're getting breaking news.
Tom, thanks for the call.
We're getting breaking news in here that the Reverend Jerry Falwell, who's actually a real Reverend, as opposed to some other Reverends we talk about on the program, has died, apparently, was hospitalized in gravely serious condition.
It is now confirmed by Liberty University executives that Jerry Falwell has died in Lynchburg, Pennsylvania, in Lynchburg, Virginia.
Sorry.
Ron Godwin being quoted here that Falwell, age 73, found unresponsive around 10.45 a.m. that time, taken to Lynchburg General Hospital, has a history of heart problems.
Falwell, of course, the television evangelist who founded the moral majority became the face of the religious right in the 1980s, helped the election of Ronald Reagan, and has been long active in connecting evangelical Christians to the political process.
Reverend Falwell dead today in the United States.
Kind of a passing of an error.
We'll get to your comments and questions when we come back.
I'm Rush.
I'm Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh.
We'll be back tomorrow.
And let's take your calls at 1-800-282-2882 after this.
Welcome back to the Rush Show.
Roger Hedgecock filling in for Russia today.
Rush, of course, back tomorrow.
All that other information that you need every day is still there at RushLimbaugh.com.
And we're taking your calls at 1-800-282-2882 talking about immigration here.
After the top of the hour, I want to get back to another topic that needs more exploration, needs more understanding, and that's the Chinese plot to kill your pet.
You'll find out that that's, I'm not exaggerating on this, so we'll get to that.
And then the continuing evidence that Democrats are above the law.
We'll talk a little bit about that.
And Iran wants to set up an Iranian-U.S. friendship committee, and we'll have some suggestions and nominations for that.
In the meantime, I believe we have the Bush's singing parody with regard to our concerns about illegal immigration.
Here it is.
Woo!
I don't know if this is a good idea, son.
Using funk.
But, Dad, we got to reach out to our base somehow.
Besides, I love James Brown.
What would your mother think?
The border goes from coast to coast.
Easy to get into here.
We got intercontinental overload to slip under the fence.
It don't make any sense when there's no documentation.
That's too far.
And somehow or some way we're going to find out who you are.
Sneaking in America.
Trying to hide from immigration.
Sneaking in America.
Across the land.
Across the nation.
Sneaking in America.
Got to have some legislation.
Admit it now, say I.
I sneak in America.
Y'all do better than that.
How about all 12 million have you joined me?
Aye.
I sneak in America.
I don't know.
Wait a minute.
You may not be looking for illegals, but you will find them anyway.
Under one of those old familiar names.
Like New Orleans, New Orleans, Detroit City.
Detroit City.
Dallas.
Dallas.
Pittsburgh BA.
Pittsburgh PA.
New York City.
New York City.
Kansas City.
Kansas City.
Atlanta.
Atlanta.
Maria and Jose.
Sneaking in America.
Trying to hide from immigration.
Sneaking in America.
Across the land.
Across the nation.
Sneaking in America.
You don't.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
All right.
Back to Tom in South Bend, Indiana, next on the Rush Show.
Hi, Tom.
Roger, it's a pleasure and an honor to speak with you.
Thanks.
I just wanted to bring the point across that I think a lot of the jobs that illegals are doing are not jobs that Americans won't do.
It's they're taking, at least in our area, they're taking them away from the teenagers.
Like the one caller said, busing tables, washing dishes, working in fast food restaurants.
That's what I did when I was in high school, but you don't see that when you go into these places nowadays.
That's exactly right.
Where are you?
In Indiana, you don't see that?
No, actually, in Indiana, we see the Latinos taking those jobs.
You know, not so much the framing, you know, the construction jobs and things like that.
It's the service industry that they're taking the jobs from here that the teenagers, you know, high school kids did prior to that, prior to the influx that we've seen over the last five years here.
Tom, thanks for the call.
Yeah, as I say, in this Vegas trip last weekend, I was over there, I went through a car wash, and interesting name, Terribles, is the name of this car wash thing.
And again, American teenagers, you know, of all colors, including Hispanics, but they were clearly American teenagers.
I got to tell you, when you go through the car wash in San Diego, it's a different story.
Here's Tom in Columbus, Ohio.
Tom, welcome.
Roger, how are you doing today?
Good, Tom.
Go ahead.
Great.
Hey, you know, I'm a little frustrated by all we hear about our immigrants.
You would think that the only immigrants we have in this country are Hispanic.
And I mean, I'm a second-generation German-American, and my grandparents emigrated here, became citizens, and did it the right way.
And, you know, frankly, I find it offensive that, you know, all these people emigrate here illegally and then all of a sudden feel like, well, because it'll be an easier way to get through this.
Let's just, you know, bypass all the rules and say, okay, they can come in and do that.
I'm just curious how other people that have come to this country, how they feel about it, not just Hispanics.
No, no, no, I agree with you.
In fact, we have legal immigrants of whatever origin are as upset as you are, second, third generation.
But illegals are now coming from everywhere.
Witness that backpack thing in New Bedford where they raided that factory that was doing backpacks for the military, the leather factory, and some 300-plus out of 600 employees were illegally in the country.
Do you know the number one nation that those illegals came from was Portugal?
Number two was Brazil.
Number three was someplace called Cape Verde I had to look up.
