I read yesterday about a website based in California. The guy who runs it is tired of American companies flagrantly hiring illegal aliens. He researches the tips he receives on companies who break the law, forwards the tips to immigration authorities, and posts the names of the companies on the website: www.wehirealiens.com. I give this guy a great big "HOORAY!" A lot of us gripe about the situation, but few of us have gone to the trouble this guy has.
As predicted, immigration attorneys, companies on the website, and illegals aren't happy with this. One immigration attorney said, "If these folks really cared about America and safety and crime, why not put the public Internet finger on their relatives, friends and neighbors by creating sites like www.wespeed.com, www.wedrinkanddrive.com, www.webeatourwivesandkids.com." Number one, maybe this man has no acquaintances who speed, drink and drive, or beat their wives and kids. Number two, you'll notice the attorney does not say these companies are innocent -- he employs the old when one is guilty and has no defense, start pointing out the real or imaginary faults of the accuser tactic.
This little tidbit I found quite amusing. Among the companies listed on the site is General Aluminum Co. The personnel director of this company said that he was shocked to learn it was on the website, and he plans to contact an attorney. The personnel director's name? Juan.
