SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Executives at a Beardstown cleaning company were arrested Wednesday on federal charges that they hired illegal immigrants by arranging for them to steal the identities of U.S. citizens.
Federal immigration agents arrested Gerardo Dominguez-Chacon, the plant manager for Quality Service Integrity Inc. and Maria del Pilar Marroquin de Ramirez, the QSI personnel administrator. The charges against the two Beardstown residents include aggravated identity theft.
Authorities also have filed charges against 25 other employees at QSI, a contractor that cleans a Cargill meat-processing plant, and have arrested 11 of them.
Officials claim Dominquez-Chacon had access to several assumed identities which he provided to new employees. Authorities also accused him of providing information to illegal immigrants regarding obtaining false identification documents, including social security numbers of U.S. citizens.
It was not immediately clear whether anyone arrested Wednesday had attorneys. One number listed for QSI was disconnected, another led to Cargill. A Cargill spokesman declined to immediately comment on the arrests.
'Any employer who knowingly hires illegal aliens risks federal felony charges. It's not a risk worth taking,' the U.S. attorney for central Illinois, Rodger Heaton, said in a statement.
Officials said they also have taken 49 illegal immigrants into custody. Most of QSI's work force turned out to be illegal, they said.

I am so friggin' sick of this shit. The people that come here illegally do so for a better life. They want to work. They want to pay taxes. They want to pump their hard-earned money into our city and state coffers. They want to be validated as who they are: HUMAN BEINGS NEEDING AND DESERVING A BETTER LIFE THAN WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO THEM IN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES. If life were so good back in their countries of origin then don't you freaking think they would stay there?!?! Why would they come here and live within the realm of the 'Bully's Pulpit'---can you guess who I am referring to here---aaaa! sorry, too late, you lose---it's Dubya, of course!--if they had another more desirable way to live? You add Dubya's horrendous immigration policies to what is going on with his so-called foreign affairs fiascos and you have one HUGE friggin' mess. Parents being deported while children born here are left behind virtually orphaned. Children and parents held in former prison cells in prison uniforms, treated like felons. How in the hell is this supposed to be OK?! How in the hell is this consistent with his No Child Left Behind Policy?!?! ARGH! This crap makes me wanna barf! ON DUBYA!
