Are employers in Catch-22?
Temple Black, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at New Orleans, said ICE agents would investigate whether Naylor broke any laws in hiring the illegal immigrants.
The Naylor Concrete raid comes just two weeks after an immigration raid on a north Arkansas Pilgrim's Pride poultry plant. Agents arrested 21 suspected illegal immigrants in that raid.
"We haven't heard anything from anyone yet,” said John Claro, Naylor's attorney. He added the company had not been notified about any fines or additional criminal investigation.
"Employers are caught in a Catch-22 type of situation. You can't do too much investigating based on them being Hispanic, if their papers look all right, because that's discrimination,” Claro said.
