8 illegal aliens awaiting deportation hearings

FARMINGTON -- Eight illegal aliens arrested in Farmington and Kingfield earlier this month at three different locations remain in federal detention facilities pending deportation hearings, a spokesman for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Monday morning.

The men, ages 23 to 52 and all from interior Mexico, were arrested over three days between July 11 and 13, said Roland "Butch" Richardson, the agency's public information chief at the Houlton border crossing. None was arrested at a workplace.

Two Mexicans were stopped by a county deputy outside a grocery store in Kingfield on July 11. Information then led to the arrest the next day of two men staying at the Farmington Motel on U.S. Route 2. On July 13, four men in a car were pulled over in a traffic stop on Route 27 in Kingfield, Richardson said.

"They were all undocumented. Three claimed to work for Jay-Ton Construction and the others said they were not working but were looking for work," he said.

Jay-Ton Construction Co. Inc. is a Tennessee-based heavy construction company hired as one of the subcontractors building Poland Spring's bottling plant in Kingfield, confirmed Franklin County Sheriff's Lt. S. Niles Yeaton.

First of all, they couldn't hire local workers? And secondly, they couldn't hire Americans or at least legal aliens?

This really pisses me off.
