They Learn the Tricks Early

A GROUP OF SIX ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS from Mexico, relying on tips learned through the underground apparently, called for an ambulance when they were stranded and needed a ride in Huron County, Michigan, Wednesday.  The group had been provided transportation to a construction job site to work on a grain elevator project.

The Huron Daily Tribune continues the story:

Deputy Brad Strozeski was dispatched shortly before 10 a.m. Wednesday following a request for an ambulance at the Cooperative Elevator Co. grain elevator construction project location along M-142 near Moore Road in Oliver Township.

Huron County Sheriff Kelly Hanson said when Strozeski arrived on scene, an ambulance was not needed. However, the deputy found six males from Mexico who had been working for an out-of-state construction company at the site. The men were standing near the roadway.

"Apparently, the men had a disagreement with the on-site construction supervisor, and quit their jobs," Hanson said. "(The men) were in need of transportation out of the area and the situation was remedied when deputies took them (the illegal immigrants) into custody."

The CEO of the Cooperative, owned by 900 local farmers, emphatically announced that the illegals were not employees of the Cooperative, but of a sub-contractor that their construction contractor had hired to complete one of the jobs.  The contractor is working closely with the sheriff to get the situation straightened out.  The sub-contractor said that he is "looking through his paper work" to see if the proper documents have been provided.

Sheriff Hanson said that there isn't any searching needed.  "There is no way the federal authorities would have them into custody without being certain they were here illegally," he added.
