The Minute Man Project: Illegal Alien Employers Beware


Editorial/Op-Ed

by Frosty Wooldridge

LOUISVILLE, COLORADO -- (OfficialWire) -- 06/06/05 -- If you think the Minute Man Project kicked Congress and the president with a collective foot up their tail feathers, you will love "Minute Man Project Second Salvo."

After interviewing Jim Gilchrist, head of the Minute Man Project, I can assure Americans another more powerful second go-around that will hit at the heart of the illegal alien migration crisis. Gilchrist, a battle hardened and decorated U.S. Marine during Vietnam will launch the second faze of the Minute Man Project.

"I’m going after the heavy hitters, the CEO’s and corporation heads of companies that hire illegal aliens from Hawaii to Maine, from Michigan to Florida," Gilchrist said. "I’m enlisting the Criminal Investigative Division of the Internal Revenue Service as well as the Bureau of Immigration Customs and Enforcement. Some of the top lawyers in the land will prosecute to the fullest extent of Federal Law."

Gilchrist said, "We know from the Bears and Stearns report that illegal aliens working off the books siphon over $400 billion a year from the IRS in uncollected taxes. American citizens not only lose their jobs to illegals, but they have to make up the difference from so many millions of illegals not paying income tax to the IRS. I’m here to tell you that the IRS doesn’t like tax evaders. Ask Al Capone!"

What do you hope to achieve Mr. Gilchrist? "I’m looking for top executives who drive Bentleys and live in 10,000 square foot homes with a Lear Jet in the ‘air garage’ to be taken out of their offices in handcuffs," Gilchrist said. "My lawyers are going to prosecute them, take away their Aspen luxury home and nail them for hard time."

According to Federal and RICO Laws, it is a Federal felony to hire an illegal alien and up to $10,000.00 fine for each illegal and up to five years in prison. Gilchrist said he would take those law breaking employers to court. He will gather all the evidence with his growing army of volunteers in all 50 states.

"They can run and they can hide and they might even pay the fine," Gilchrist said. "But they will not escape jail time with these Federal Lawyers from the Criminal Investigative Division of the Internal Revenue Service.

For anyone who wants to become a member of the Legal Minute Man Project, you may visit: www.MinuteManProject.com Gilchrist needs people to report companies hiring illegal aliens in cities and states across America. He needs digital pictures for the best evidence so faces can be checked when prosecution time arrives.

Isn't it funny that the one thing almost everyone can agree upon (this thread), is the ONE THING NEITHER POLITICAL party supports..

If that's not a sad commentary on the state of things I don't know what is


Fact is this:

BOTH parties are controlled by the very CEOs and business interests that profit from hiring black market labor off the books, laundering the money through Caribbean banks and kicking back just enough to the politicians to keep them turning a blind eye.


Otherwise, how can explain one it that neither party will touch this issue, which is so clearly an overwhelming winner with the masses, it seems like a no brainer

Minutemen target illegals;

Film employers, day laborers at Herndon 7-Eleven

By Keyonna Summers, THE WASHINGTON TIMES


As a utility van pulled into a 7-Eleven parking lot early yesterday in Herndon, George Taplin was perched nearby and aiming his camera at its license plate and the day laborers who swarmed the vehicle in search of work.

"The employers don't want to be filmed. They don't want to be seen," said Mr. Taplin, organizer of the Herndon chapter of the Minutemen, a grass-roots campaign to rid towns of illegal aliens by observing their employers and reporting them to employment, tax and immigration officials.

This was only the second time since the chapter formed about two weeks ago that members have staked out the convenience store on Alabama Drive at the intersection with Elden Street, where about 50 of the laborers, including illegal aliens, waited underneath a "No Trespassing" sign.

However, members said their presence has already had an effect.

"The population was up to 200 a day," said Bob Rudine, a 62-year-old Minuteman and retiree who lives a block from the store.

Armed with whistles, video cameras and walkie-talkies, Mr. Rudine and about 14 other Minutemen - including two children - stood for an hour in the crisp morning air to watch vans and pickup trucks with ladders and other construction equipment circle the 7-Eleven.

Members have been instructed to avoid confrontations. Though none occurred yesterday, they said a contractor whose van was photographed Monday threatened to file a lawsuit.

Standing among the Minutemen were Town Council member Ann Null and members of Help Save Herndon.

"I consider this similar to a neighborhood watch," Mrs. Null said. "Citizens have come forward and generously offered their time. ... They're doing something very constructive."

The group patterns itself after similar ones along the Texas and Arizona borders with Mexico that also are grappling with the issue of illegal immigration.

This summer, the Herndon Town Council tried to resolve complaints about loitering, noise and other problems at informal gathering sites by deciding to use taxpayer money to build a day-laborer center.

The center is slated to open in mid-December and will be run by Project Hope and Harmony. However, some residents have responded to the plan by filing a lawsuit, which has thrust the town of 22,000 residents into the national spotlight.

Yesterday, Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican, sent a letter to U.S. Attorney Paul McNulty urging him to investigate whether the center violates federal criminal-conspiracy laws.

Illegal aliens and day laborers also are key issues in Virginia gubernatorial and House of Delegates elections Tuesday.

House Speaker William J. Howell and other Republican delegates outlined plans earlier this week to bar illegal aliens from day-laborer centers, universities and voting booths.

The laborers said yesterday that they were intimidated by the Minutemen's cameras.

"They don't understand that we need money to survive and support our families," Carlos Reyes, a legal Salvadoran immigrant looking for work, said in Spanish.

Bill Threlkeld, director of Project Hope and Harmony, said he was not convinced that the Minutemen are as effective as they said.

"There's probably some influence," he said. "But we know when it gets colder, things slow down."

He thinks a silent majority of residents support the day-laborer center and said Project Hope and Harmony is trying to help fix a problem that needs to be resolved in Washington.

"There's an immigration problem in the United States, and people who have an issue with that should be addressing their congressman," he said. "What we're trying to do is solve a local problem."

On this issue, he agrees with Minutemen who say federal and state officials are not taking charge.

"We have to keep coming back and let people know we're in it for the long haul, [and] we need to let politicians know we're serious about this," said Minuteman and Loudoun County resident Diane Bonieskie, 60. "Everybody is passing the buck. This is grass roots, and this is what America is all about."

Jerry W. Kilgore, the Republican candidate for governor, has said he would use state troopers to enforce laws against illegal aliens in any locality that fails to do so, if he is elected.

[Phuct]

This is effin' great!

[zapcomix]

Thanx for the update!

[Gnodab]

Ive already espuosed this viewpoint, but i believe there needs to be a viable 3rd party....one of the drawbacks of a two party system is that there is never a third voice (as obvious as that sounds, think of a married couple with problems, and the input that a therapist gives...can't that open many new doors?)

While I certainly support the "third party" movement, especially the Libertarians, I also could argue that case that its much simpler than that.


Start voting the fuckers out... Dems, Rep, whatever.. VOTE THEM OUT.. If they won't do their fucking job, give someone else a shot. You have nothing to lose at that point.

Now that means giving the job to someone else, who may not be a good candidate at all... But that's ok.. You vote that guy out the next time around.

It may take several cycles, but after a relatively short amount of time, a guy will come along from one of the parties that wants to serve more than one term, and he'll actually do what the people elected him to do .

That's the way I see it..People get so hung up on the "Dem. or Republican" label that they forget THEIR OWN duty of expelling these corrupt, incompetent asswipes from office when they cease to serve the people.

green goes

don't you mean Gringos?......lol

Roofing firms accused of hiring illegal aliens
June 20, 2007



Kansas City, Mo. — Two men who owned roofing companies in Missouri and Kansas have been charged with hiring illegal aliens, in some cases arranging for deported workers to be smuggled back into the United States, federal prosecutors said Monday.

A 15-count indictment, handed up May 29 but not unsealed until arrests were made Monday, names the two owners, four companies and seven Mexican men suspected of working in the U.S. illegally.

The case centers on Tony Evans, 48, of Stilwell, Kan., and Luis Hernandez-Bautista, 33, of Kansas City, Mo., a Mexican citizen who was arrested in 2001 as an illegal immigrant but is now a lawful permanent resident of the United States.

Evans was president until February 2006 of Mid-Continent Specialists, which has offices in the Kansas City area and others in Pensacola, Fla., and Gulfport, Miss.

The indictment names Mid-Continent Specialists as well as Metro Roofing, another company created by Evans.

Also charged are LH Roofing and LHB Roofing, which were created by Hernandez-Bautista and registered in Kansas.

HEADLINE: ROOFING COMPANIES INDICTED FOR MONEY LAUNDERING, CONSPIRING TO HIRE ILLEGAL ALIENS

US Fed News

KANSAS CITY, Mo.




The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued the following press release:

Several area roofing companies here, along with their owners and several employees were indicted by a federal grand jury for using a workforce composed largely of illegal aliens. U.S. Attorney John F. Wood, Western District of Missouri; and Pete Baird, assistant special agent in charge for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Office of Investigations in Kansas City, announced these indictments today.

ICE agents served arrest warrants this morning in an enforcement action that resulted in arresting six of the nine individuals charged in the indictment. In addition, 34 illegal aliens were arrested on administrative charges.

"Today's indictment alleges that the roofing companies utilized a business model that relied upon hiring illegal aliens," Wood said. "In fact, the indictment alleges that when his workers were arrested and deported, the business owner helped pay to have them smuggled back into the country a few days later so he could put them right back to work."

Tony Evans, 48, of Stilwell, Kan., and Luis Hernandez-Bautista, 33, aka Miguel Hernandez, of Kansas City, Mo., who is a U.S. permanent resident, were charged in a 15-count indictment returned under seal by a federal grand jury on May 29. Also charged were several roofing businesses with which they are associated: Mid-Continent Specialists Inc. (doing business as New Century Roofing), Metro Roofing Services Inc., LH Roofing LLP, and LHB Roofing Inc. Finally, the indictment also charged Mario Bautista-Ojendiz, 26, a Mexican national, of Grandview, Mo.; and the following six Mexican nationals with unknown addresses: Jose Juan Bello-Lazaro, 35, Dante Cardillo-Rendon, 25, Gaudencio Bautista, 32, Victor Manuel Castanon-Flores, 26, Armando Hernandez-Gonzalez, 31, and Abel Montiel-Angel, 38. The indictment was unsealed and made public today upon the arrests and initial court appearances of several defendants.

Until February 2006 Tony Evans was president of Mid-Continent Specialists, a Kansas corporation that has had offices in three states, including Independence, Mo.; Kansas City, Mo.; Parkville, Mo.; Pensacola, Fla.; and Gulfport, Miss. Metro Roofing is a company that was created by Evans in February 2006 after he left Mid-Continent Specialists. Hernandez-Bautista has created several businesses involved in the roofing industry, including LH Roofing and LHB Roofing, both registered in the state of Kansas. The remaining seven co-defendants were employees of those companies.

"Today's arrests should put businesses on notice that ICE will criminally charge those employers who knowingly transport and employ illegal aliens as part of their business model," said Pete Baird, assistant special agent in charge ICE Office of Investigations in Kansas City. "We will use all of our authorities to shut down businesses that exploit and harbor an illegal workforce. Across the country, the United States Attorneys have been crucial partners in our efforts to enforce our work-site laws."

The indictment alleges that on March 28, 2001, ICE agents arrested Hernandez-Bautista and 22 other illegal aliens in Gravois Mills, Mo. At the time of the arrests, they were in the Lake of the Ozarks area working on jobs for Mid-Continent Specialists. On April 12, 2001, 21 of the illegal aliens were deported to Mexico. Because Hernandez-Bautista contested his removal and posted a $3,000 bond, he was not deported.

According to the indictment, on April 20, 2001, Mid-Continent Specialists and Evans provided about $11,000 for Hernandez-Bautista to arrange to smuggle most of the previously deported illegal aliens back into the United States. The following day, about 15 of the illegal aliens were allegedly smuggled into the United States to resume working at Mid-Continent Specialists job sites.

On April 30, 2001, Mid-Continent Specialists petitioned the former Immigration and Naturalization Service to change Hernandez-Bautista's immigration status to lawful permanent resident by filing an Application for Alien Employment Certification. Once Hernandez-Bautista's immigration status was successfully changed, Hernandez-Bautista employed the illegal aliens through various companies he created, including LH Roofing.

LH Roofing employed the illegal aliens as "sub-contractors" for Mid-Continent Specialists, the indictment says, thereby attempting to insulate Mid-Continent Specialists from its illegal workforce. Mid-Continent Specialists allegedly paid the salaries of the illegal workers by laundering the funds through Hernandez-Bautista's companies. Hernandez-Bautista wrote checks to Bautista-Ojendiz, Bello-Lazaro, Cardillo-Rendon, Castonon-Flores, Hernandez-Gonzalez and Montiel-Angel, who cashed checks; the proceeds of these checks were then distributed to other workers who were illegal aliens.

The indictment alleges that using this scheme to pay illegal aliens through LH Roofing, Mid-Continent Specialists and Metro Roofing Services, laundered more than $6 million in payments to illegal workers.

Mid-Continent Specialists, LH Roofing, LHB Roofing and Metro Roofing Services are charged with two separate conspiracies to encourage and induce and aiding and abetting illegal aliens to reside and remain in the United States for commercial advantage and private financial gain, with one conspiracy (involving Mid-Continent Specialists) beginning in March 2001 and the second conspiracy (involving Metro Roofing Services) beginning in February 2006. These four companies are also charged in related conspiracies to commit money laundering and one count which seeks forfeiture of the assets. Mid-Continent Specialists, LH Roofing, and LHB Roofing were also charged with five counts of encouraging and inducing illegal aliens and aiding and abetting illegal aliens to reside and remain in the United States for commercial advantage and private financial gain.

Hernandez-Bautista and Evans are each charged with two counts of conspiracy to encourage and induce and aiding and abetting illegal aliens to reside and remain in the United States for commercial advantage and private financial gain, five counts of encouraging and inducing illegal aliens and aiding and abetting illegal aliens to reside and remain in the United States for commercial advantage and private financial gain, two counts of conspiracy to commit money laundering, and one count which seeks forfeiture of their personal assets, including residential property owned by Hernandez-Bautista.

Bautista-Ojendiz, Bello-Lazaro, Cardillo-Rendon, Castonon-Flores, and Hernandez-Gonzalez are each charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit money laundering, one count of unlawful re-entry into the United States by a previously deported or removed alien, and one count which seeks forfeiture of their personal assets.

Bautista and Montiel-Angel are each charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit money laundering and one count that seeks forfeiture of their personal assets.

Wood cautioned that the charges contained in this indictment are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

Assistant U.S. Attorney David M. Ketchmark and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard N. Staples are prosecuting this case. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigated it with assistance from the Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation division, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Social Security Administration.
