Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report

Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report

August 25, 2011

Lars:

It has been an interesting fourth full week in the month of August when it comes to criminal aliens here in the State of Oregon.

This week we have two cases that qualify multiple individuals for criminal alien of the week.

Sunday, August 21st, the Oregon State Police (OSP) arrested Gonzalo Acosta in connection with an auto accident outside of Hermiston, Oregon. Unfortunately, one of the passengers in the car Gonzalo was driving died at the scene of the accident.

After being checked out by at local hospital, OSP officers took Acosta into custody and booked him into the Umatilla County Jail in Pendleton, Oregon on the charges of first degree manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, second degree assault, driving under the influence of intoxicants, and reckless driving.

Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) agents, who check the identity of new prisoners taken into custody at county jails across the state, have placed an ICE hold on Gonzalo Acosta, a strong indicator he may be in the country illegally.

Wednesday, August 24th, Albany Police Detectives arrested Luis Flores-Arellano, Carlos Garcia-Flores, and Miguel Garcia in Albany, Oregon in connection with a month long narcotics investigation.

Police Detectives booked Flores-Arellano, Garcia-Flores, and Garcia into the Linn County Jail in Albany, Oregon where all three of them were charged with Manufacture, Possession, and Delivery of Methamphetamine.

In a story far too familiar, ICE agents have placed ICE holds on Luis Flores-Arellano, Carlos Garcia-Flores, and Miguel Garcia a strong indicator they also may be in the country illegally.

Lars, the fourth full week of August and two different criminal alien reports for your KXL 101.1 radio listeners.

Lars:

It has been an interesting third full week in the month of August when it comes to criminal aliens here in the State of Oregon.

Wednesday, August 17th, the Umatilla County Jail in Pendleton, Oregon had six criminal aliens incarcerated at the jail, 4.69% of the jail population the United States (U.S.) Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents had identified as possibly being in the county illegally. One of the six criminal aliens with U.S. DHS–ICE holds at the Umatilla County Jail was involved in some type of drug crime, 16.67% of the alien jail population (methamphetamine).

Thursday, August 18th, the Washington County Jail in Hillsboro, Oregon had 71 criminal aliens incarcerated at the jail, 12.41% of the jail population the U.S. DHS–ICE agents had identified as possibly being in the county illegally. Eleven of the 71 criminal aliens with U.S. DHS–ICE holds at the Washington County Jail were involved in some type of drug crime, 15.49% of the alien jail population (heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana).

Lars, this week we have a criminal alien of the week.

On August 15th, the Oregonian newspaper reported that Christian Garcia-Vazquez pled guilty on July 28th to one count of DUII and two counts of fourth degree assault. Garcia-Vazquez was sentenced to 10 days in jail.

A little background information, Garcia-Vazquez’s was arrested on July 9th by Washington Sherriff deputies and charged driving under the influence.

An unfortunate fact, no regular media outlet reported that Christian Garcia-Vazquez had an ICE hold placed on him by ICE agents when he was incarcerated at the Washington County Jail.

After serving his time at the Washington County Jail, Garcia-Vazquez is now being held at a U.S. DHS-ICE detention facility in Washington State.

The Washington County Jail is one of eight Oregon county jails that use the U.S. DHS-ICE Secure Communities program to help indentify its jail population.

Lars, the third full week of August and three different criminal alien reports for your KXL 101.1 radio listeners.

Oregon employers should use E-Verify

SOUTHERN OREGON’S NEWS SOURCE

Mail Tribune

Oregon employers should use E-Verify

August 16, 2011

By David Olen Cross

Jeff Stone, executive director of the Oregon Association of Nurseries, in a recent Eugene Register-Guard editorial republished in the Mail Tribune under the title, “Not ready for prime time, E-Verify should not be mandatory until Washington gets it right” says he doesn’t like legislation (HR 2164) now before the U.S. Congress that would require all employers in the country to use the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify system.

Unapologetically in various media outlets across the state, Jeff Stone has stated that 70 percent of OAN members’ employees are undocumented workers.

A group of business organizations called the Coalition for a Working Oregon, OAN being a member organization, commissioned a study in 2008 that purported CWO membership employs 97,000 undocumented workers in the state.

Stone, a spokesperson for both OAN and CWO, needs a U.S. federal employment law reality check; U.S. law requires companies to employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States — U.S. citizens or foreign citizens legally present with authorization to work in the country.

The importance of Oregon employers being required to use the E-Verify system really becomes apparent when looking at Oregon’s unemployment rate in June 2011: 9.4 percent. That means 195,422 Oregonians were unemployed. The June unemployment rate for Jackson County was much higher at 11.4 percent; 12,182 of the county’s residents were unemployed.

According to Oregon Employment Department, the June 2011 civilian labor force was 2,007,028. Using the 2008 CWO study’s purported employment number of 97,000 undocumented workers, CWO membership business organizations’ undocumented workers would make up approximately 4.8 percent of the Oregon June 2011 civilian labor force.

Removing 97,000 undocumented workers from Oregon’s civilian labor force (subtract the 97,000 undocumented workers from the 195,422 Oregonians who were unemployed) could theoretically lower the number those unemployed Oregonians legally able to work in the state to 98,422, an unemployment rate of just over 4.9 percent.

Unemployed Oregonians who are U.S. citizens or foreign citizens legally present with authorization to work in country should not have to compete for jobs with undocumented foreign national workers illegally in the state.

If all Oregon businesses not currently using the E-Verify system were required to use it, Oregon’s unemployment rate would drop dramatically because all new jobs created in state would go to U.S. citizens or those legally present to work in the country.

Currently more than 2,000 Oregon businesses and government entities are successfully using the E-Verify system. At least 99 Jackson County businesses are using it.

Oregonians should contact U.S. Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden and Rep. Greg Walden and ask them to support the passage into law of HR 2164, which would require all U.S. businesses and government entities to use the E-Verify system so all 195,422 unemployed Oregonians who are U.S. citizens or foreign citizens legally present with authorization to work in the country can go back to work.

Better use E-Verify

Mailbag: Better use E-Verify

Posted: Monday, August 15, 2011 8:45 am |

Bill Case, in his Aug. 10 letter titled “They won’t do this work,” by omission reveals he is choosing to ignore that U.S. federal employment law requires companies employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States — U.S. citizens or foreign nationals legally present with authorization to work in the country.

To enlighten Mr. Case, the Oregon Association of Nurseries is a member of the Coalition for a Working Oregon (CWO), a group of business organizations representing at least five specific industries in the state. A CWO membership commissioned study in 2008 purported CWO membership collectively employs 97,000 undocumented workers in Oregon.

Case’s statement that “currently unemployed workers will not do any of the agriculture-related jobs” parrots the CWO membership mantra: Oregonians’ won’t work in any type of employment that demands difficult manual labor. The inference is that only undocumented workers need apply.

In far less difficult economic times, Oregonians have been more than willing to be employed by the individual businesses that make up CWO member organizations, in the construction, logging, lodging, food processing, restaurant and agricultural industries.

Addressing Mr. Case’s belief that the undocumented foreign nationals illegally present in the state contribute anything significant in the form of taxes, he is simply wrong. Oregon’s low-wage hourly undocumented workers will unfortunately use far more federal and state government services than they will ever pay into the tax system.

According to the Oregon Department of Employment, June 2011 unemployment numbers for Linn County were 11.4 percent; 6,605 of the county’s residents were unemployed.

Currently, at least 54 Linn County businesses are using the U.S. DHS E-Verify system.

A prudent suggestion for Bill Case, to avoid a U.S. DHS Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid or employment audit at his place of employment, he or his employer should immediately sign up to use the U.S. DHS E-Verify system.

Reader supports E-Verify

Jeff Stone, executive director of the Oregon Association of Nurseries, in a recent Register-Guard editorial republished in the News-Register, “Reject mandated electronic verification” says he doesn’t like legislation (HR 2164) now before the U.S. Congress that would require all employers in the country to use U.S. Department of Homeland Security E-Verify.

In media across the state, Stone stated that 70 percent of OAN membership’s employees are undocumented workers.

A group of business organizations called the Coalition for a Working Oregon, OAN being a member organization, commissioned a study in 2008 that purported CWO membership employs 97,000 undocumented workers.

Stone, a spokesperson for OAN and CWO, needs a federal employment law reality check. Federal law requires companies to employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States — U.S. citizens or foreign nationals legally present with authorization to work in the country.

The importance of Oregon employers using DHS- E-Verify becomes apparent when looking at Oregon’s unemployment rate in June 2011 — 9.4 percent. A total of 195,422 Oregonians were unemployed. June unemployment numbers for Yamhill County were 9.3 percent, which translates into 4,726 of the county’s residents.

Unemployed Oregonians who are U.S. citizens or foreign nationals legally present with authorization to work in the country should not have to compete for jobs with 97,000 undocumented foreign national workers illegally in the state.

Currently, more than 2,000 Oregon businesses and government entities are successfully using DHS- E-Verify. At least 45 Yamhill County businesses currently use E-Verify.

Oregonians should contact their congressional representatives and ask them to support the passage of HR 2164, which would require all U.S. businesses and government entities to use E-Verify.
