After being alerted by a constituent last summer, City Councilwoman Jeanne Faatz asked the auditor's office to check into Noraa Concrete Construction Corp. workers on a job in west Denver.

The review found that 12 of the company's 25 employees on that project had invalid Social Security numbers. Auditor Dennis Gallagher's office found an additional 13 questionable Social Security numbers for Noraa employees on three other city projects.
Now Faatz is joining forces with City Councilman Chris Nevitt, who has strong ties to labor groups, to push random auditing of city contractors to ensure they employ only documented workers.

"The fact we have laid off 170 perfectly qualified competent city workers because of budget cuts, yet money would be funneled to other people when there is a question about the legitimacy of their Social Security numbers, is mind-boggling," Faatz said.
Denver weighs random immigration-status checks for contractors - The Denver Post

In other words, ALL of their employees are illegal.

Unlimited illegal immigration certainly has not done anything to improve the unemployment statistics or help our economy. It does of course help those looking for the cheapest possible labor, those who won't hire Americans when Americans don't want to sleep 14 men to a slum apartment floor.

There is no justification for illegal immigration now that our economy has been brought down, and wages have dropped so the pro-illegal side should be very pleased with that.
