However, THIS EXPOSES the FRAUDULENT FOOLEY of immigration reform and informs you of WHO CALLS the SHOTS when it come to government. WHO needed the workers again?
Ever notice the BIG-NAME POLITICIANS the TV zooms in on at the games? Ever think THIS is THEIR GAME -- only the VIDEO and PLAYERS are REAL?!!!
"Workers say agents took them to Gillette; Claim they were returned after being processed" by Maria Sacchetti, Globe Staff | January 12, 2010
PROVIDENCE - Federal agents detained dozens of Guatemalan immigrants en route to shovel snow at Gillette Stadium last week, and then drove many of them back to the stadium to work, the immigrants said yesterday, giving their fullest account yet of the operation.
Yesterday, dozens of the immigrants poured into the Guatemalan consulate, a two-story red brick building near Federal Hill, wearing thick sweatshirts, baseball caps, and worried faces, since they are here illegally and now facing possible deportation. But they and their advocates said they are workers, not criminals, who had left poor villages in the hope of finding better lives for themselves and their families.
And what are we Americans, chopped liver, agenda-pushing MSM??
The economy has shed over 8 million jobs, these guys are taking the ones that are out there, the dollar is dropping like a rock,and debt slavery is the order of the day in AmeriKa.

"illegal immigrants, who mow the lawns, trim the hedges, clean the swimming pools, park the cars, serve the hors d'oeuvres, tidy up the mansions, and do many of the other things that make life so enjoyable for the rich"
Oh, THAT'S WHY the "problem" is NEVER REALLY SOLVED and the DHS had to GET THESE GUYS over to the FOOTBALL STADIUM!!!
In interviews at the consulate, where they sought legal assistance, the workers, most of whom live in Rhode Island, said they had cleared snow at Gillette last Tuesday, and were heading back to work early Wednesday in four vans when federal agents pulled them over....
The immigrants said the rest were taken to a nearby police station, fingerprinted, photographed and released, pending an interview with immigration officials to determine their legal status, before they were driven to the stadium. “They brought us back to work themselves,’’ said Vicente Avila, 43, who said he lives on $200 a month so he can send as much as $800 a month to his family, including five children, in Guatemala. “They told us if you want to go to work, you can go to work.’’
Look, I know the conditions in other nations, Globe!
It is YOUR PRO-GLOBALIZATION, AGENDA-PUSHING POLICIES that have CREATED THIS MESS!
Matthew Chandler, deputy press secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency that carried out the operation, declined to confirm that federal agents drove the immigrants to Gillette or to describe the agency’s policy on transporting immigrants after such operations.
Translation: it happened.
Gillette officials said they had hired an outside agency to take care of the shoveling, and that outfit was responsible for verifying the legal status of the workers.
Gillette washes its hands of the affair.
The stadium fired the vendor in the uproar after the raid, which raised questions about security at one of the region’s premier sports complexes just before the Patriots playoff game Sunday.
Someone should have called one in because the Pats could have used the help.
The vendor is All Stars Labor Inc. of Dorchester, according to a source with knowledge of the work agreement, but company officials could not be reached late last night....
And the Globe never tried again. Why would they?
************************
The immigrants said they left Guatemala because the civil war there left the country’s economy in tatters.
Yeah, the CIA-sponsored civil war for corporate interests!!!!
Why LEAVE THAT OUT, Glob?
The workers said they did not know the name of the company that hired them. They had received phone calls from friends telling them to show up at a Dunkin’ Donuts in Providence at 5 a.m. for work and that they could earn as much as $8 an hour....
First of all, THAT IS a SHIT WAGE (which is why the rich are using them), and THAT'S HOW YOU FIND WORK, huh? WAIT for a CALL from friends!!!!
How come my phone never rings?
A shaken Tomasa Larios, 16, who arrived late last year, said she jumped at the chance to earn some money at Gillette, but after she was detained, she was too scared to return with the others. “I was really affected by it,’’ said Larios.
Isn't that a LITTLE YOUNG!!!!
How come a 16-year-old AMERICAN KID can NOT DO THAT JOB by LAW, huh?
The women said the operation was mostly calm. Immigration agents told them to put their hands on the seats, took the vans, and drove them to the police station.
The raid was in contrast to the dramatic 2007 raid in New Bedford, where the factory owners and 361 immigrants were arrested, some spirited quickly to Texas for deportation.

Please note how the Glob never goes into detail on that.
But the Foxborough operation still stunned diplomats and advocates because officials had hoped the federal government would focus only on criminals, which is the agency’s stated priority, and not on ordinary workers with no previous convictions.
The Obama administration has said it favors legislation that would allow the nation’s 12 million illegal immigrants to apply for legal residency, but it has also vowed to continue enforcement action to show that the federal government will keep the borders secure.
First of all, that LAST BIT is a NON-HILARIOUS LAUGH!!!!
And SEE Obomber doing the s***-foolies with you, 'murka?
Miguel Angel Ibarra, the vice minister of foreign affairs in Guatemala, said in an interview Saturday that he was surprised that deportations of Guatemalans had not slowed under President Obama, despite severe poverty, a drought in some areas, and widespread unemployment in the central American nation. He called for a halt to deportations.
How is THAT for CHANGE, America?
Actually, it IS CHANGE!
According to federal statistics, deportations hit a record high in the fiscal year that runs from October to September; Obama took office at the end of January. Some 387,790 people were deported last year, up from 369,221 the year before....

"Detained immigrants were set to clear Gillette snow" by Maria Sacchetti, Globe Staff | January 8, 2010
Dozens of immigrants pulled over Wednesday in Foxborough during a federal search for fugitives from deportation were on their way to Gillette Stadium to shovel snow before this weekend’s New England Patriots playoff game, Guatemala’s consul in Rhode Island said yesterday.
What, they can't find any OUT OF WORK Americans to do a FOUR HOUR JOB?
The federal operation, possibly the largest involving Guatemalan nationals since the 2007 raid on a leather-goods factory in New Bedford, raises questions about the legal status of temporary workers at one of the state’s premier sports complexes, and about the responsibility of companies that hire subcontractors to verify the legal status of their employees....

Please note how the Glob never goes into detail on that.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement would not confirm that the workers were headed to Gillette Stadium. Stacey James, spokesman for Gillette Stadium and the Patriots, said he learned about the federal operation from the media, and said stadium officials contacted the snow-clearing contractor to reaffirm that Gillette expects all workers to be here legally, he said. He said workers showed up Wednesday and cleared the snow, and he did not know whether they were among those who were stopped and quickly released during the federal action. James declined to name the contractor.
THEY WERE!!!
Wednesday’s road stop was part of a routine Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation seeking specific fugitives who had been ordered deported, including some with criminal records that included domestic violence and driving while intoxicated, said agency spokeswoman Paula Grenier.
But they are just here putting food on the table as they undermine America's labor force!
Nine men from Guatemala living in Rhode Island were detained and are facing deportation. Seven of them are still being held at Bristol County jail. Five who illegally reentered the country after having been deported are being referred to the US attorney’s office for criminal prosecution.
Time for a WALL!!
Hey, if it is GOOD ENOUGH for ISRAEL, it is good enough for us!
Federal officials did not release the names of the detainees, citing the department’s privacy policy.
Yeah, they CARE MORE ABOUT ILLEGALS than CITIZENS, Americans!!!!!
But 49 other people, most of whom are believed to be from Guatemala, were also questioned and released on orders to report to Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the future to determine whether they are here legally.
PFFFFT!!
How much you want to bet NO ONE SHOWS UP!!!?
Carlos Escobedo, Guatemala’s consul general in the region, said immigrants caught up in Wednesday’s road stop, who are now flooding the consulate with calls for help, appear to be ordinary workers, not criminals. He said he is helping them find legal assistance to determine whether they have the right to stay in the United States.
Yeah, SOMEHOW the ILLEGALITY is OVERLOOKED in these cases, and downplayed by the pro-illegal, agenda-pushing MSM?!!!
He said the consulate has not seen such a large enforcement action since the 2007 raid on a factory in New Bedford, which led to 361 arrests. Many of those detained were from Guatemala....
Again, NO DETAILS!
The PAPER does NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW that ARMY GEAR is being made by ILLEGALS!!! Even WAR GEAR, Americans!!!!!!!
Wednesday’s operation ignited criticism among advocates for immigrants, who said it went beyond the search for specific fugitives. Grenier said the agency’s top concern is fighting crime and terrorism, but that agents who encounter possible illegal immigrants in the field are authorized to detain them.
Hey, WE GOTTA LIVE WITH IT, you gotta live with it, ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday, advocates for immigrants said the operation underscored the need for immigration laws to be changed to allow the nation’s 12 million illegal immigrants to apply for legal status.
Excuse me?
This has now turned into an AGENDA-PUSHING ISSUE for AMNESTY??!!!!
Many fled poverty in their homelands to seek a better life in the United States, they said.
Yeah, so CUT 'EM a BREAK -- as YOU SLIDE INTO POVERTY, America!!
And this CORPORATE SYSTEM of GLOBALIZATION that CREATED ALL THIS?
Just KEEPS ROLLING ALONG while YOU worry about the GAME!!!!!
“It shows how the immigration system really needs to be fixed,’’ said Franklin Soults, spokesman for the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition. “Right now there’s a two-tier economy happening and people are working in the shadows. What we need is not an attempt to sweep up 12 million people. . . . It can’t be done.’’
Yeah, SOMEHOW this CRIME has now turned into an AGENDA-PUSHING CALL for "reform!"
Of course, it's okay to DEPORT and REVOKE if you are Israel.
But YOU are a RACIST if you STAND for the RULE of LAW in AmeriKa!
And BE CAREFUL at the GAME, readers!
There could be TERRORISTS INSIDE!!!!!!
"Immigrant detentions raise safety concerns" by Meghan Irons, Globe Staff | January 9, 2010
The detention of dozens of immigrants on their way to a temporary job at Gillette Stadium this week has touched off a firestorm in Foxborough, as town officials raised safety concerns for tomorrow’s playoff game between the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens.
Paul Feeney, who chairs the town’s Board of Selectmen, sent a memo yesterday to Town Manager Andrew Gala in which he cited “potential security problems’’ for the game.
Then CANCEL IT!!
(Judging from the way it is going at 1:22 p.m. EDT, they would be for that; Pats look terrible and are losing 14-0)
He demanded answers about the immigrant workers’ identities, legal status, and criminal records, questioning whether any of those apprehended were on a terror watch list.
Go, go, go, selectman!! RUN WITH IT!!
They BUILT this BED of TYRANNICAL LIES, let them live with it!!!
“My ultimate concern is that no one knows the true identity of various workers that have been hired to perform work in Gillette Stadium, which by its nature is also at risk of potential coordinated attacks and terrorist activities,’’ he wrote.
A spokesman for Gillette Stadium said the Boston-area vendor responsible for hiring the workers was terminated after the incident....
And then they will hire another illegal outfit!
Now I understand why this state is crawling with immigrants and no one can find jobs.
Foxborough police and Gillette Stadium officials insisted that the games are safe and that every worker and fan is patted down before setting foot in the stadium. Bags are also searched.
I know, I've been to a few.
James said every worker who enters the facility is under stadium supervision during the time he or she is there. And, he said, “before every event there is a complete sweep of the stadium by State Police and stadium police.’’
*******************************
The stadium found a crew to remove the snow, but it was unclear whether its members were among those questioned and released by federal authorities....
WHY do you think they were RELEASED?
--more--"
And here is the CONFIRMATION that the IMMIGRATION ISSUE is to be RAISED AGAIN SOON for another agenda-pushing attempt at amnesty!
"Shoveling snow, shifting blame
.... The 12 million immigrants who are already here illegally need a path to citizenship.
Translation: CRIME PAYS!!
Such a path need not be easy, nor vault them ahead of those who’ve been patiently waiting in line for visas. But illegal immigrants are already in the workforce.
And 8 MILLION Americans have LOST JOBS -- and 1 in 5 are OUT of WORK!!!
They are mowing the lawns of presidential candidates and shoveling snow for sports team owners.

It’s necessary for the economy and important to national security to bring these workers out of the shadows.
Yeah, but don't deport them.

Aaaaaaah, now I understand why there are no protests at the ball games and the racetracks -- and no mention of the "environmental crisis" when it comes to their own self-serving interests!
And why not take a kick from TEXAS (smile), Massachusetts?
US Representative Lamar Smith, a Texas Republican, criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement yesterday for catching and releasing dozens of illegal immigrant workers last week in Foxborough and then reportedly driving them to work shoveling snow at Gillette Stadium. Federal agents had detained 58 immigrants, including seven with criminal records, who are now being held at Bristol County jail. The 49 others were released, on orders to return in the future to determine their legal status.
Yeah, I'm SURE the ILLEGAL will show up for his deportation hearing. I mean, they do it all the time.
Workers told the Globe this week that federal agents drove them back to Gillette. Smith, who criticized “the Obama administration’s latest refusal to enforce the nation’s immigration laws,’’ said the agents should not have driven any of the immigrants back to work. “These jobs rightfully belong to citizens and legal immigrants,’’ he said.
Yeah, GIVING THEM a RIDE to WORK!!!
WTF?
Kraft make a call?
