2 businessmen charged in illegal worker scheme April 26, 2010 BY NATASHA KORECKI Federal Courts Reporter Two Bensenville businessmen were charged today with hiring dozens of illegal workers in an alleged scheme that supplied temporary workers who were really undocumented immigrants to suburban warehouses. Clinton Roy Perkins, who is president of Anna II, Inc., and his son-in-law, Christopher J. Reindl, office manager of Can Do It, Inc., are accused of paying the work force in cash, not deducting taxes and doctoring dozens of social security numbers. Both businesses are located at 801 Golf Lane, Bensenville. Perkins, 65, of Wayne, and Reindl, 40, of St. Charles, signed up workers without requiring them to provide immigration documentation or any other evidence that they were legally allowed to work in the United States, according to charges. The workers were deployed to do such work as janitorial services, loading and unloading of freight packages and merchandise and installation and removal of structures inside warehouses to clients that operated warehouses in various suburbs, according to the charges. Both men were charged with one count of unlawfully hiring illegal aliens between October 2006 and October 2007. "Employers in all industries and locations must comply with the nation's immigration laws if we are to have an effective immigration enforcement strategy in this country," said Gary J. Hartwig, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Investigations in Chicago. "ICE is committed to ensuring that employers are held accountable for maintaining a legal workforce. The goal of our enforcement effort is two-fold — reduce the demand for illegal employment and protect job opportunities for the nation's lawful workforce." suntimes.com ------------------ we need much more of that
