TRIADELPHIA -- A company with an office in West Virginia is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor after Ohio County Sheriff's Deputies make several arrests of suspected illegal aliens working in the county.

According to reports, the Sheriff's Department made several arrests at The Highlands of men employed by Simply Right, a cleaning company that was contracted to clean the Marquee Cinemas.

Simply Right is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, but has an office in Beckley.

Hmmmmm.........I wonder who the idiot is that thinks Mexicans will NOT stick out in WVA!! Lol!! I am so tired of hearing about illegals being in our country. If WE were in THEIRS, do you think they would be so kind as to give us food, shelter, counsel? NOT! We as a country are retarded and way too open with our borders. The people responsible for hiring them needs to have an unaffordable fine so they don't repeat their mistake.

The best part is that after the illegals take your job, they typically send 1/2 of their wages back home. It's a double loss, but unfortunately it's the new way of life in the U.S.

The department of labor also needs to fine the Highlands for letting them work there. Along with revoking the business liscense of that cleaning company that employed them. If the state would start doing that it wouldn't be near as profitable for the companies to seek illegals to work for them.

What, no way, Ha. Ha. In Delaware all of the cleaning companies hire the illegals, when the law tries to do something they have to fight the do gooders, instead of rounding them up brats and all and shipping them on the fastest thing going south they are protected. why should it be any different in WVA.
