So, once again, illegal aliens are found to be working on military bases and what does DHS do about it? Not much! The employers’ hands are slapped and the illegals are rounded up and probably will be released. Good Grief! What does it take? Will it take a suicide bomber on post?

The men, who were doing masonry, plumbing, roofing and other construction work, were detained at the base’s gates after officers checked for valid identification.

Tuesday’s arrests appear to be part of a broader effort by federal officials to keep illegal immigrants off military bases.

Within the past 12 months, Fort Bragg officials have detained 152 others who attempted to gain access to the base with false identification, said Tom McCollum, a Fort Bragg spokesman.

Last July, 48 illegal immigrants were arrested at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro.

Similar dragnets have led to arrests at military bases in Louisiana, New Mexico and California.

McCollum said the dragnet focused on contractors.

“They have got to abide by the immigration and employment laws,” McCollum said. “If we find they are in violation, we can bar them from doing business on Fort Bragg.”

However, despite the almost 200 arrests in the last year, McCollum said he was not aware of any companies barred from the base for hiring illegal immigrants.

How about they start to more than say “don’t do this anymore” to the contractors? How about they start to bar any employer knowingly using illegals from doing any business ever again from Federal contracts? How about starting to prosecute these employers with criminal offenses?
