| ICE Nabs Illegals Working Construction On Travis Air Force Base |
| 2017-05-15 |
| [Daily Caller] Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have arrested illegal aliens working construction at the Travis Air Force Base and are looking to deport them as soon as possible. ICE quickly arrived on the scene after a military official realized that two illegals, Hugo Mejia and Rodrigo Nuñez, did not have valid social security numbers and reported the pair of construction workers at the base, The Mercury News reports. After arresting Mejia and Nuñez, ICE has placed the men in expedited deportation proceedings, as both men have removal orders stemming from when they entered the country illegally over a decade ago. Mejia is naturally upset. He told The Mercury News in Spanish, while detained at the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center, that he has a good track record. |

| #8 The Davis–Bacon Act of 1931 is a United States federal law that establishes the requirement for paying the local prevailing wages on public works projects for laborers and mechanics. * prevailing wages = union wages in the location The contractor had to bid labor costs estimates in accordance with the Act. Someone is pocketing the difference. |

| #7 And as an aside, the Contracting Officer Representative has the job of ensuring that the terms of the contract are met. The COR doesn't write the contract. Neither does the COR do the background checks or directly question the workers' qualifications. Or issue them base access. It's more likely that the contractor sub-contracted the work. That's not illegal, unless the contract stipulated otherwise. But it will give the contractor a black eye. And likely the base as well. |

| #6 Oh, SS taxes were likely paid and the SSN was likely legit. Somebody else will get the money. That is one nice feature of the whole deal. Imagining these people without any benefits when they reach retirement age is even better. |

| #1 "Good track record for 17 years?" Would that be with a fake Social Security Card, and paying no taxes ? Base Commander should order the termination of the contract of the firm he works for and direct the Travis JAG to investigate the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). If he's (the worker) a DoD civilian employee, dig deeper and investigate the Civilian Personnel Office on Travis. Might want to consider relieving the base commander, if any of these action are not already taking place. |
