Since I read so many of these in the Globe, I thought I would start collecting them here on da blog.

7.03.06. On illegal cleaners in State Police Barracks:
State Police spokeswoman Lieutenant Sharon Costine: ``The State Police do not hire these individuals. It was a company that came to us, and we expected that they would ensure that any individual they are hiring is appropriately documented, if needed, and not hiring someone and putting them in our facility when that individual is an illegal immigrant."

6.18.06. On illegal masonry workers building dorms at U. Mass. Dartmouth

``The university concerns itself with getting the job done," said John Hoey , a spokesman for UMass-Dartmouth.
