Military contractors hired scores of illegal immigrants

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Scores of illegal immigrants working as cooks, laborers, janitors, even foreign-language instructors have been seized at military bases around the country in the past year, raising concerns in some quarters about security and troop safety.

The immigrants did not work directly for the military but for private contractors, as part of a large-scale effort by the Pentagon to outsource many routine rear-echelon jobs and free up the troops to concentrate on waging war.

Some worry that this fast-growing practice could make U.S. military installations more vulnerable to security breaches.

"We can't let down our guard," said Rep. Robin Hayes, a North Carolina Republican whose district includes Fort Bragg, home of the Army's Special Operations Command. "The motive of these particular individuals remains unclear. However, my greatest concern is that they were able to gain access to the installation at all."
