Seems as if some contractors (we know who they are without naming), are hiring high numbers of immigrant workers performing the contracted work. Some villagers are angered by this as it takes from American jobs and hurts our economy. Tea partiers signed a petition and even threatened to call the US Immigration dept. if the problem was not addressed by our commissioners. Instead of wasting time with petitions on an already "bought out" commission, they should just make a couple quick calls. If you are one of these advocates and you are serious about stopping illegal immigration locally, the easiest thing to do is call the FL workers compensation hotline at 1-800-378-0445. The FL Dept of Revenue (worker's comp) is one of the toughest offices in the state gov'ts arsenal for getting things done and hammering non-compliance. I think they have a reward program too! Petition smarter - not harder!
