Why Don’t We Enforce Immigration Laws?
by Richard Wagner
All North Carolinians should be concerned about the arrests of 27 airplane mechanics and repair workers March 7 at Piedmont Triad International Airport at Greensboro. The arrests on immigration charges made a joke of federal efforts to tighten the nation’s security against terrorists.
All of the illegals possessed fake documents, including North Carolina driver’s licenses.
Most Americans don’t think the arrests are a laughing matter. Part of the joke was on the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles, Gov. Mike Easley, and legislators — who continually refuse to tighten the requirements for the issuance of state driver’s licenses. At this late stage of the war on terrorism, their refusals can only be construed as rooted in complicity — ostensibly for the sake of political correctness or political pandering —or in gross negligence.
The workers either worked for TIMCO or were clients of a labor broker who supplies the aircraft maintenance company. Incredibly, they worked in supposedly secure parts of the airport where a terrorist strike could be carried out. They came to America from Chile, Laos, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, Sudan, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe.
