Illegal Immigrants in the Lehigh Valley? Say it ain’t so…

Are there still people who ride up to the Home Depot and pick up the Mexican guys, pay them to do some landscaping, then drop them back off later that night?

I think I witnessed this once. I mean, fuck, it’s the American way. And while no one wants the problems that come along with illegal immigrants, namely the fact that they are harder to trace to crimes and such since they have no history here (oh and the whole taking your dad’s job thing) if you were in their situation I’d you bet you a Toaster Strudel that you’d do the same thing they would do.

Everything is relative.

Except relativity.

Right?

Twelve alleged illegal immigrants were detained in Lehigh County Prison after a three-vehicle crash Friday evening on Route 22 in South Whitehall Township.

Pennsylvania State Police at Bethlehem say Edward D. Hersch, 46, of Coplay, was driving east about 5 p.m. in an area of heavy traffic. He was unable to stop his vehicle before crashing into a van driven by Jose R. Crespo-Gradio, 25. John P. O’Donnell, 51, of Easton, then rear-ended Hersch’s vehicle.

Police say Crespo-Gradio and 11 of his passengers were in the country illegally from Mexico. Police called Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain the men. Source

They listed the names of the immigrants…. however, since the servers for LibroDeLaCara.com are down I couldn’t find any of their profiles.

Ahh, such is life.

Oh, I also recently decided I’m not drinking for a month in an effort to see what the world is really like on Thursday through Sunday. Please wish me well in this effort.
