LTTE: "As soon as these illegal immigrants finish working on my roof... "

[eomer]

... I want them sent back where they came from."

A great sarcastic (I assume) LTTE that my wife spotted in the Miami Herald this morning written by someone named Gary Rodriguez. That was the sum total of the letter.

2. Unfortunately it isn't sarcasm

I believe it was last week--I read about here but the OP couldn't find a link--that in Texas, a man hired some illegal workers.
Apparently, he let them finish the job and THEN he called immigration so he wouldn't have to pay them.:(

Apparently, everyone says this is an urban legend. I can believe it happened...but judge for yourself.

5. That's the trouble with sarcasm -- you can never be sure.

I agree there are those who are willing to do exactly what this letter described.

I was assuming that this particular letter was meant to point out how wrong it was by putting it so bluntly. But I could be wrong. It is surprising how in your face evil some people can be.

6. Halliburton hired a labor provider who did the same thing

Company hired illegals for laborors to do clean up and repairs after Katrina TO A NAVY BASE Halliburton had contract to do. The secondary company got the laborers, said they would be given housing and meals in addition to wages. Stuffed them into trailers, failed to feed them regularly and didn't pay them.
