I am writing a story and I need to describe a scene where the UKBA go in a restaurant to try to arrest Illegal workers but I am not sure how it actually happen. does the police get involved? If someone could give me a help I would thanks a lot.

I visited an Italian restaurant two days ago and I was surprised by the fact that this very successful restaurant doesn’t have any illegal Hispanic worker(unlike 90% of the restaurants anywhere else). All the wait staff are well trained, attentive, knowlegeable American workers who are extremely professional. I just wish that there were more restaurants like this one.
I want to make clear that I have no problem with legal, professional workers in any business. I am just so sick and tired of the restaurant industry being taken over by floods of illegal/un-professional workers who just don’t care about anything but the slave labor wage that they are earning.
people like V2 keep saying that we have to pay more if we don’t like the illegals and Mexicans, but as far as I know, restaurants don’t charge less because they use illegal/un-trained workers. They charge just as much as if they had well-trained, legal workers.
And every time someone brings up an issue like this, people rush to the conclusion that whoever raises issues like this is racist. But the core of this issue is that too many industries have gravely sacrificed the quality of their products/services by replacing capable/legal work force with third world grade/illegal workers simply because they think it’s going to cut cost. Well, guess what, the cost wouldn’t be too high after all when the entire country becomes a 3rd world hell.

Identity theft linked to illegal immigration

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Nobody likes getting a letter from the IRS. So imagine Amanda Bien’s reaction last Valentine’s Day when the agency wrote to demand $3,300 in back taxes.

For jobs she never worked. Five of them. In multiple states.

A Lenexa, Kan., Taco Bell. A Wendy’s restaurant. Two Target stores, one in California. The Engineered Air manufacturing plant in De Soto, Kan. Someone, somewhere, got Bien’s name and Social Security number and gave it a workout.

A 28-year-old illegal immigrant was later arrested at the De Soto plant and faces ID theft charges.

Though illegal immigrants aren’t the only ones stealing identities, cases like Bien’s illustrate the inability of disparate government agencies to tackle the problem.

While lawmakers in Washington debate ways to crack down on illegal immigration, the market for false documents and stolen Social Security numbers is booming.

Particularly vulnerable, authorities say, are legal residents with Hispanic last names. Or, as in Bien’s case, names that could sound Hispanic.

As politicians know and Bien is finding out, it’s a problem that defies easy solutions.

The IRS may suspect that multiple people are using the same Social Security number, but the agency doesn’t investigate ID theft. Local police and prosecutors cannot deport illegal immigrants they arrest.”I feel like nobody’s listening,” said Bien, 23, of Ottawa, Kan. “If this can happen to me, it can happen to anybody. And if we don’t do something about it now, what’s going to happen in 10 years?”

Federal estimates indicate that nearly 10 million Americans become victims of identity theft each year. Officials can’t say how many of those identities are being used by illegal workers, but prosecutors in Kansas say they see more cases of illegal immigrants using fake credentials every year.

It mirrors an increase in overall cases related to illegal immigration. The Kansas U.S. attorney’s office received 18 such cases in 1997; in 2007, the number was 106.

Experts expect the trend to continue, and they’re finding ID theft in surprising places. Last fall, U.S. prosecutors in Missouri charged five noncitizens with ID theft after they were found working in the Kansas City Federal Building’s cafeteria.”We know there are thousands and thousands of people working here who aren’t even supposed to be here,” said Brent Anderson, assistant U.S. attorney for Kansas. “There is rampant ID theft going on … and I’m afraid that given the situation we’re in right now, this is just the beginning.”
