Turned my old Boss in
Today I was at the paint store waiting on a color match when in walks my old boss. He sees me setting there and comes over all happy and asks me how i am doing. I tell him I am good, then he proceeds to tell me how busy he is and how he hired even more illegals to keep his guys hours down, he wont even let them get 40 a week anymore I hear. He knows how I feel about him and his illegals so I know this was all meant to piss me off. So I walk to the truck and grab the number of ICE, which is the name of immigration now. I have had the number in the truck for awhile but never used it untill to day. I walk back in the paint store and ask to use their phone, I had my cell on me but why waste the minutes, besides i wanted to really piss him off. I tell him who i am calling, and he quits smiling and says I better not, I am not sure what he meant by that because he is as soft as they come. So I dial the number and am setting there on hold, I tell him it is amazing to me that the music for immigrations hold sounds spanish, he gets pissesd and walks out. I considered hanging up then , but what the hell, I had been on hold for about 20 minutes and figured I need something for my time. So I turned him in and told them the names of atleast 15 illegals that I know work for him, i also told them that his subs are illegal. Now I dont know if much will come from this but atleast I pissed him off, I did mention to him before he left that if he sicked any of his illegal boys on me that I also know where he lives and we could get together some night and count his teeth while they are laying in the street. I am kinda happy about telling on him, even though I grew up in a neighborhood where a snitch was considered lower then low. I just hate the guy so damn much .......

I agree with the above, nice work.
What's more I don't think that you "snitched" in any dishonorable way whatsoever. Illegal aliens are stealing work away from us and taking food off legal Americans plates. You should have done it sooner. Follow up with ICE if they don't do anything.

Being angry and holding hate is not good for you in anyway.
As far as the illegals go i applaud you, if we all did that then... well there would be less illegals.
I feel that we should only hire legal citizans.

Speakin of "snitchin", when did we loose the segment of society that beleives "Don't be a snitch" ?
They can kill your father/brother/son or rape your mother/sister/daughter and you are the ANTI-SOCIAL -PYSCOPATH if you tell the authorities. HELL, you're a pariah if you even TALK to the police.
What's wrong with this picture?
It is time we take back the streets. If you don't bring on justice, you contribute to the downfall of our society.
Modern, you're my new "hero" (Well. maybe not for painting your truck - - - then again maybe so   )

Last weeks 60 Minutes had a segment all about Snitchin'. Something to do with rappers promoting the "Don't Snitch" line or something.

Perfect timing, there was just something on the news about a law to only employ people with valid, scannable, social security cards.

If you are suggesting that it is ok to have illegals working for you as long as you don't brag about it... then YOU are the problem with America.
I just don't get it. Why don't we just enforce the law? Deport them... Every person who pays someone under the table is robbing the rest of us who are law abiding citizens. The more non-tax-payers we have soaking up free medical services at the hospital... the more the rest of us have to pay.
BRAVO for making the call! I sort of wish that you would not have told him so that they would catch him red-handed.

Although I would never drop a dime on someone, I think you did the right thing. It is a felony and it should be enforced. The contractor is pocketing the money (and probably lying about it) the property owner is paying in good faith to hire Americans.

Put down the beverage, and step away from the keyboard. I havn't said that at all, you did. If you have illegals working for you, you might get caught. If you have illegals working for you and you're bragging about it, you're begging to get caught. That's what I was pointing out. The boldness of the contractor for bragging about it.
