This Judicial Watch lawsuit is on behalf of an Idaho county seeking to recover costs it has expended providing services to illegal aliens. Canyon County sued four large employers for knowingly hiring many illegal aliens who, during their employment, committed crimes in the County, thereby costing the County money for criminal justice services including incarcerating them in its jail. Many other of these illegal immigrants wrongfully obtained health and welfare services from the County. Overall, the County paid millions of dollars in services for these illegal immigrants in the four years prior to filing the action in 2005 pursuant to the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”).
Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit in the Orange County Superior Court against the City of Laguna Beach for spending taxpayer funds to operate the Laguna Day Worker Center, a day laborer site that helps illegal aliens find jobs and provides other public benefits, including English language instruction. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Laguna Beach taxpayers Eileen Garcia and George Riviere, who have been very active challenging the day laborer site because of all the illegal immigrants it attracts.
