Kim Guadagno - Tough on Illegal Immigration By Eric Sedler | June 20, 2007 Today, Monmouth County Sheriff Candidate Kim Guadagno called for implementing a tough policy that would ensure safer communities by checking the immigration status of anyone already incarcerated in the Monmouth County Jail before the inmate is released. ==================================================== Such stories always leave me wondering where is the emphasis on another major cause of the problem: the people, companies, corporations, et al. who employ undocumented workers? Back in the 80's, I applied to be director of a summer program at Monmouth College. Even though I personally knew many on the staff there, I was required to dig up all sorts of documentation to prove I was a U.S. citizen. No exceptions. At that time, I checked with people I knew who owned a local nursery & garden center. They confirmed that they had to comply with strict requirements that everyone working there had to have proper documentation on him at all times. Immigration officials would stop by unannounced to check. At the same time, the owner of the business had high praise for the work ethic of the immigrant workers she employed. What prompted my asking her was that I overheard her on the phone with a close friend of hers who wanted her to hire her son as a favor. After that call, the business owner confided in me that she lied about having no openings because she preferred the immigrants (migrant workers?). What happened to those laws? And I'm not a nativist. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
