Feds: Illegal Immigrants Hired To Keep Up Military Contracts
Posted on: March 7th, 2007“Federal investigators said the demands of $91 million in government contracts prompted a New England leather company to hire hundreds of illegal immigrants.
WCVB-TV reported Tuesday that the company was raided at 8:30 a.m. It involved hundreds of local, state and federal agents. They moved in on the Michael Bianco Inc. in New Bedford, where officials said 66 percent of the workforce was made up of illegal immigrants working in what they described as a turn-of-the-century sweatshop.”
