Illegal aliens arrested while working in secure area of airport

LaShawn Barber has a great post about a company, TC Drywall, that had been hired to hang drywall in a secure area of Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. How do we know about this? 6 workers from TC Drywall were arrested. All are illegals from Mexico. My favorite passage from LaShawn:
What’s especially irritating to me is having to go through mind-numbingly inane security lines with Transportation “Safety” Administration employees (whose methods of screening are inconsistent across different airports) where I have to take off my shoes, sweater or jacket, and submit myself to random searches and pack “liquids” in containers no larger than three ounces in quart-sized plastic bags, knowing illegal aliens — people who pose the real security risk, for crying out loud! — are working in areas I’d be arrested for venturing into accidentally…it’s madness!


TC Drywall's website is currently down for "technical reasons".

Another interesting tidbit from LaShawn's post is at the top, about a landscaping company in Boston which hires illegal aliens. Oh, and, as the Boston Globe reports, this company has done work for Mitt Romney for the past 10 years. It appears that he never inquired of the company's owner as to the legal status of the workers. Could become an issue which causes Romney to back out of his run for the Presidency. We'll see. Hopefully, this story becomes huge so that it finally shows the politicians that we are serious about cracking down on illegal immigration and the employers who hire illegal aliens.
