From Arizona Family: Hundreds seek to fill vacant positions at Pro's Ranch Market
Job hunters turned out in the hundreds to fill recently-vacant positions at Pro's Ranch Market stores, where a federal audit led to the firing of some 300 workers.
Roxanne Nieves, one of the many that came out in search of a job, said she came to apply after she heard about the layoffs.
"We heard they are firing a lot of illegal people, so we're here to apply," she said.
Nonetheless, she and many others felt guilty about taking the jobs of the people who had just been fired.
"To me, it's pretty hard to see everybody losing jobs," one job hunter said.
About 300 of the 1,500 total employees at the six Phoenix supermarkets were let go this week after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement audit found them to be working illegally.
Attorney Julie Pace said the company has I-9 forms on everyone and uses E-Verify to check employees' eligibility to work, but that is not always enough.
"The company wouldn't know if someone is using counterfeit documents," Pace said.
Pace also called on the federal government to help companies comply with hiring laws.
"We need an easy program for employers to use to hire people -- safe, easy, quick -- so we don't have to deal with ICE audits," she said.
Pro's Ranch Market is among some 1,600 U.S. businesses, including 84 in Arizona, that have undergone ICE audits since July 2009.
ICE says the goal is to reduce demand for illegal employment and protect job opportunities for the nation's lawful workforce.
“Tell everyone that there is still a place in the Kingdom of Romania which has not bowed to Communism. As long as our heads are on our shoulders, this corner of the country will be free. Tell the people not to lose faith, for the day will come when the whole of Romania will be free. Pray God for it, so help us God.” --Ioan Gavrila Ogoranu, Romanian anti-communist fighter 1923-2006

Remember those jobs "Americans won't do"?
Leftists are such morons. They think if all the illegals leave Arizona it will have a devastating impact on the economy. But what it really does is give back jobs to LEGAL immigrants and American citizens who are unemployed. Here is the story. I am surprised I have not seen this on FNC yet.
