Foreigners on the Farm: Vt.'s Reliance on Immigrant Workers
Mexican labor on Vermont farms has been a not-so-secret secret for several years. It's estimated there are more than 2,000 illegal workers here. Farmers say even in this economy they cannot find Vermonters willing to do farm work and the hours required-- and that they need illegal labor to survive. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, has been working for years to get a program that would allow dairy workers to come in, stay for two or three years, and then go home so farmers won't have to break the law...

Of particular note is Ohio HB 184 which Representative Combs sponsored in May of 2009 and would require all Ohio employers to use the E-Verify system to check the legal status of employees. The bill has not moved out of committee since that time, and will expire at the end of this 128th Ohio General Assembly. Representative Combs told the Rally Team that he would be reintroducing this bill in January 2011.
Representative Combs also told the 6 assembled Rally Team members that he continues to work on legislation for Ohio which will be comparable to the Arizona SB 1070 bill.

Suspect in 9-year-old’s rape arrested in Mexico
(Hamilton, Ohio - March 23, 2011)
HAMILTON — It could be as long as a year before Alfredo Lopez Cruz is brought back to the United States to face trial for allegedly kidnapping and raping a 9-year-old Hamilton girl, Butler County Sheriff’s officials said today, March 23.
Sheriff Richard K. Jones said it could be 6 to 8 months before Cruz, who is being detained in Mexico City, is extradicted to the U.S. But if Cruz, 28, fights extradition, it could take a year or longer, Jones said.
Butler County’s most wanted suspect was apprehended in Mexico on March 18 after evading authorities for more than five years, according to sheriff’s officials.
Jones said Cruz’s identity has been proven. The man — wanted for the kidnapping and rape of a 9-year-old Hamilton girl on Father’s Day 2005 — faces a five-count indictment on rape and kidnapping charges...[Full Article]

Deported illegal immigrants return repeatedly
(Columbus, Ohio - December 27, 2010)
Federal agents took an illegal immigrant to Grant Medical Center in October 2009 to collect proof of his ties to a Mexican-based drug ring.
During his two-day hospital stay, Jose Aranda-Mora supplied the needed evidence - 92 balloons of heroin that he had swallowed before a traffic stop in Richland County.
Three months earlier, immigration agents had deported Mora to his homeland of Mexico. But the free ride home served as no deterrent. Since 2000, Mora has been deported four times, only to return time and again - most recently to Ohio.

11 Mexican Nationals Arrested in huge Outdoor Marijuana Operation in Ohio (Columbus, Ohio - September 24, 2010)
DEA, BCI and Local Law Enforcement Seize Thousands of plants in two Counties
SEP 24 -- (COLUMBUS, Ohio) — A crew of 11 Mexican nationals, including the alleged ringleader, were arrested yesterday as the result of a three-month-long investigation into outdoor marijuana megafarms. More than 2,500 marijuana plants were seized from these massive outdoor grow operations. Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Special Agent in Charge Robert L. Corso made the announcement today.
“It’s rare for investigators to make arrests in these kinds of marijuana growing operations, and to have arrested 11 individuals surprised even the most seasoned of investigators,” said Attorney General Cordray. “I cannot overemphasize the importance of successfully and safely arresting the alleged ringleader of this operation and his crew. It could be instrumental to further understanding and shutting down this cancerous practice that has been spreading to Ohio.”...

Ten illegal immigrants caught after van stopped (Milan, Ohio - September 10, 2010)
MILAN — Four illegal immigrants ran from a van that was pulled over during a routine traffic stop on the Ohio Turnpike Wednesday, according to the U.S. Border Patrol. Six others were taken into custody as they stayed by the van. All the men, one from Guatemala, one from El Salvador and the rest from Mexico, were all in custody as of 5:30 a.m. yesterday, according to the Border Patrol.
Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Andy Patterson said agents from the Sandusky Bay Station in a marked border patrol vehicle on the Ohio Turnpike reported a minivan with California plates and 10 people inside driving suspiciously around 11:45 a.m. Wednesday. The agents said the people inside the van were visibly avoiding eye contact and slowing down to avoid the patrol vehicle.
“At one point, he (the driver of the van) was doing 35 mph on the Turnpike,” Patterson said. “Two and two just wasn’t adding up to four.”
As agents pulled over the minivan near US 250 the driver and three of the passengers fled from the vehicle, running south through a cornfield. Six of the passengers stayed with the van and were arrested by agents...

Ohio will do what it can until federal government tackles immigration reform (Ohio - August 6, 2010)
Across the nation, a fierce debate is raging over illegal immigration, fueled by the recent passage of a law in Arizona which says that if a person is stopped by the police for committing an offense, a law enforcement officer can ask for proof of citizenship if they have reason to believe the person is in the country illegally.
The controversy over this proposal has led to clashes between activists and police in the southwest, sparked heated rhetoric among public officials and other interest groups and incited calls by some for a boycott against travel to Arizona.
This past week, hours before Arizona's new immigration rules were scheduled to officially become law, a U.S. District Court judge blocked a number of key provisions in the bill from taking effect. It is anticipated that the legal battle will not end there, however, and the case could eventually end up before the Supreme Court to decide.
Federal officials maintain it is the federal government's role to govern immigration, not the states. Supporters of Arizona's statute, on the other hand, say these new rules do not subvert federal law, but support it.
Most Americans, including myself, support legal immigration but are concerned about the flood of illegal aliens entering the country on our southern border and its impact on the stability of taxpayer resources and our national security...

Illegal Immigration and sanity: Border Patrol in Northern Ohio (Sandusky County, Ohio - July 1, 2010)
If you live in a rural area, particularly one like Sandusky County, Ohio, where labor intensive crops such as tomatoes, cabbage, and cucumbers are prime earners for farmers, you are likely aware that large numbers of migrant farm workers travel the country to work the planting and harvest seasons. They preform hard work in return for pay that permits them a lifestyle that I doubt I would enjoy, nor would, I daresay, most of my readers (all three of you). Some of them do not possess the necessary documentation for them to accept money in exchange for services from a local farmer. In other words, they are “illegal” workers.
Before I go any farther, think about that for just a moment. Full grown adults-citizen and non-citizen alike-are legally barred by the State from entering the simplest of contracts. Why? How does this comport with the idea of a “free” country, if people must prove their status before some officious bureaucrat. And you must do that if you are a citizen, or not-if you work “under the table” you are a criminal in the eyes of the State just as much as if you crossed the border illegally. I fail to find a justification for such a thing under any theory of governance (or even lack of governance) that has any likening to individual freedom...

New Albany Police Chief says Galion restaurateur in US illegally (New Albany, Ohio - June 30, 2010)
On Thursday, June 24, 26-year-old Omar E. Jimenez of 6467 Hillgrove Road, Galion, was arrested along with two other men in a drug bust. All three “aggravated trafficking” suspects are being held on $500,000 bonds in a Franklin County jail.
New Albany Police Chief Mark Chaney said that Jimenez was one of three “major players,” along with Ricardo Rodriguez of New Albany and Cristian Garcia of Westerville, in a cocaine sting operation that led to the arrest of the three men last Thursday. Garcia was the assistant manager at Mexican restaurant Don Patron in New Albany.
“Somehow he (Jimenez) hooked up with these other guys. We’re not sure how… Jimenez and Rodriguez both are not saying anything or cooperating (since their arrests); they’ve invoked their ‘right to remain silent,’” Chaney told the Galion Inquirer on Tuesday...

Restaurateur Sentenced On Illegal-Immigrant Charges (Toledo, Ohio - June 29, 2010)
Norwalk man owned Mexican eatery in Oregon
Ramon J. Ornelas had succeeded in life in the United States by creating a string of Mexican restaurants in northern Ohio and availing himself of the opportunities of his new country, a federal court judge said yesterday.
But his employment of dozens of illegal immigrants and his failure to pay taxes on their incomes required a prison term to serve as both punishment and a deterrent.
Ornelas, 43, of Norwalk, Ohio, was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Toledo to one year and one day in prison. He pleaded guilty in February to eight counts of harboring and concealing illegal aliens, three counts of mail fraud, and seven counts of subscribing to a false tax return.
Judge Jack Zouhary sentenced him to one year for each count but ordered that they be served concurrently.
Immigration officials said Ornelas, who had legal permanent resident status, will face a deportation judge after he serves his sentence.
"You pulled yourself up here in America, the land of opportunity, and opened a chain of restaurants. I take that into consideration," Judge Zouhary said. "There is a seriousness to this crime. The government has taken a position on illegal immigration … and my sentence must promote respect for the law."
Federal charges were filed against Ornelas in January. Authorities said search warrants were executed at eight of Ornelas' restaurants in Ohio, which resulted in 58 undocumented Mexican nationals being taken into custody. Ornelas is the principal owner of Casa Fiesta Mexican restaurants in Oregon, Sandusky, Youngstown, Vermilion, Ashland, Norwalk, Fremont, and Oberlin.
In addition to the concealing charges, Ornelas pleaded guilty to filing false federal tax records for not claiming the undocumented workers and therefore underreporting the taxes owed to the Internal Revenue Service. According to Assistant U.S. Attorney David Bauer, the amount owed the federal government was $178,000 over a period of three years.
The mail fraud convictions were the result of filing false Ohio Contribution Reports by underpaying $11,124 in taxes due the state for unemployment insurance for those workers he did not report.
Mr. Bauer noted that Ornelas benefited economically from the hiring of undocumented workers and asked the judge to send a message to employers that immigration laws exist and will be enforced.
As part of his sentence, the judge also ordered the forfeiture of $62,546 taken from eight of his restaurants during execution of the July, 2008, search warrant and a Vermilion home he owned where several undocumented workers lived...

Six Years For Driver In Fatal Crash (Elyria, Ohio - June 22, 2010)
ELYRIA — A six-year prison sentence and a lifetime ban on driving for the man who killed Neil Jalowiec in a drunken driving crash last year wasn’t enough for Jalowiec’s family.
“My dad believed in the system and the system failed him,” Jalowiec’s daughter, Leesha Doehr, said as she and other family members filed out of Lorain Common Pleas Judge Edward Zaleski’s courtroom in tears on Monday.
Doehr and her family had asked Zaleski to impose the maximum prison sentence of 10 years on Emelio Hernandez Perez, the 24-year-old Mexican national who was behind the wheel of the Jeep Grand Cherokee that plowed into the back of Jalowiec’s Buick LeSabre on Dec. 15.
Perez was at more than twice the legal drinking limit when the crash occurred. Witnesses said he was weaving through traffic and didn’t hit the brakes before slamming into Jalowiec’s vehicle, which was stopped at a traffic light at state Route 57 and West River Road.
Jalowiec died of internal chest and abdominal injuries, while Hernandez Perez was treated and released from the hospital.
“My life is forever changed because of a drunk Mr. Perez, who got behind the wheel of a killing machine and murdered my husband,” Jalowiec’s wife of 42 years, Raeme Jalowiec, said during Monday’s hearing. Her hands shook as she spoke...

Lakewood Police Round Up Illegal Roofing Workers (Lakewood, Ohio - June 23, 2010)
LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- Lakewood police took into custody a crew of roofing workers who were illegally in the country.
The incident June 10 might be evidence that storm chasers who swooped into the area after recent hail storms are indeed using undocumented workers as they pick up insurance-funded roofing work. Many roofers have alleged as much.
Officer Joseph Eikens stopped a Dodge Ram truck with Texas plates because its driver and passenger windows were so darkly tinted the officer could not see inside. A companion truck pulled over behind it.
According to the police report, several occupants in both vehicles said that they were in the country illegally and that they were in Lakewood working for Aspen Construction. They gave Aspen's Westlake sales office as their address.
Aspen is headquartered in Missouri but has sales offices across Ohio, according to Vice President Pat Nussbeck.
Nussbeck said that Aspen subcontracted its roofing work to a Louisiana company. Nussbeck said his company requires subcontractors to vouch that their workers are covered by liability insurance and workers' comp and are eligible to work in the United States. Nussbeck said Aspen would press the subcontractor to comply with its contract.
Police handed six people over to U.S. Customs/Border Patrol after the traffic stop.

WTVN-AM (610) promoted the giveaway as a trip to Phoenix "where Americans are proud and illegals are scared."
The contest, which ended last night, was designed to capitalize on the maelstrom kicked up by Mayor Michael B. Coleman's decision, said WTVN program director Mike Elliott.
It was the most popular the station has had, he said. About 5,000 people entered the drawing for round-trip airfare to Phoenix, hotel accommodations, a "few pesos" and the opportunity to "spend a weekend chasing aliens and spending cash in the desert."...

Agents attempted to perform a vehicle stop near the Vermillion Valley Service Plaza, however, as the mini-van was pulling over, three passengers in the back seat bailed out and ran south into a heavily wooded area behind the plaza. Once the vehicle came to a complete stop, the driver and front passenger also bailed out of the van and began following the other three subjects in an attempt to escape Border Patrol agents.

137 Illegal Aliens Caught In Statewide Sting (Cincinnati, Ohio - May 4, 2010)
Officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 137 criminal aliens and fugitives in central and southern Ohio over a four-day period ending late Monday. The operation targeted foreign-born criminals and fugitives in violation of immigration laws.

ILLEGALS AMONG US: Ohio Could Give Local Cops Authority To Enforce Immigration Laws (Stark County, Ohio - April 24, 2010)
...In Arizona, Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday signed legislation that would make it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally. It would also require local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants. Supporters say the measure will remove “political handcuffs” from police.
Locally, the issue was highlighted this week following two separate incidents in Canal Fulton.
One of two suspects charged in a fatal shooting Sunday night at El Rodeo restaurant, 2105 Locust St. S., is believed to be living in the U.S. illegally. Adam Ornelas, 24, of Jackson Township, who is charged with felony tampering with evidence, could be deported by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
On Tuesday, Canal Fulton Police arrested two Mexican nationals following a hit-skip accident at Ohio 93 and Milan Street Northwest. The men, Rafael Barros, 18, and Leopoldo Aguilar-Rocha, 26, both of Akron, allegedly provided false identification to officers. They are charged with one count each of felony tampering with evidence.
In both cases, the suspects were arrested on local charges but authorities could not enforce federal law, which is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

$100,000.00 Goes To Deported Mexican (Hamilton, Ohio - April 21,2010)
HAMILTON, Ohio -- Luis Rodriguez sued Butler County and Sheriff Richard Jones after being rounded up in an immigration raid.
Rodriguez and his attorney, Al Gerhardstein, maintain that deputies along with an "immigration specialist" working for Jones didn't have probable cause to detain and question Rodriguez.
Rodriguez and 19 others were working as sub-contractors for J&A Drywall on January 2, 2007. They were told to meet with authorities inside a trailer on the site.
Rodriguez produced documents that were fraudulent and later admitted to being in the United States illegally.
"He was criminally charged with possessing fraudulent documents. He was acquitted of those charges, but because he was in custody at the Butler County jail, the federal immigration authorities were called," explained Gerhardstein.
Gerhardstein says the case was a few weeks from trial when Butler County offered a settlement payment.
"The Constitution, particularly the Fourth Amendment, applies to 'persons.' It says all 'persons' shall be protected from unreasonable searches and seizures. 'Persons' are undocumented, are citizens, are non-citizens, they're 'persons.' So, you need probable cause,” said Gerhardstein...

Urge Congress to Reject Latest Amnesty Bill for Illegal Immigrants (Cleveland, Ohio - February 2, 2010)
By Other Voices
February 02, 2010, 4:05AM
Congress will try once again to rush through the same amnesty bill, introduced by the infamous Sen. Harry Reid. This bill will, again, attempt to dupe the American people into believing it is all about border and employment enforcement.
Do not be misled. It is more about securing amnesty. There are about 15 million Americans out of work, plus 1 million more who have given up looking for jobs. Why should 8 million illegal aliens hold jobs in this country?
Every month, about 125,000 foreigners enter the United States with temporary visas or as legal immigrants. Americans should not have to compete with these numbers. How many will take the time to write, telling their representatives and senators to reject this bill and introduce one that will enforce our immigration laws, secure our borders and protect Americans from the impact of illegal immigrants and the monumental number of legal immigrants entering the country?
