Janitorial Services Swept Up in Immigrant Sweep

Three top officials of a nationwide cleaning service were charged Thursday with fraud and tax crimes as part of a federal investigation that also netted hundreds of illegal immigrants in 18 states.

The illegal immigrants were working as janitors for Rosenbaum-Cunningham International, Inc., or RCI, a cleaning contractor for businesses that is based in Nevada.

The workers were swept up early Thursday in 63 locations nationwide, including restaurants such as the House of Blues, Hard Rock Cafe, ESPN Zone, Planet Hollywood, and others, according to a law-enforcement official.

RCI co-owners Richard M. Rosenbaum and Edward Scott Cunningham and firm controller Christina Flocken face various criminal fraud, immigration and tax charges in the 23-count indictment unsealed in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids, Mich.

The investigation, led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, began 20 months ago from concerns about cleaning crews at the Grand Traverse Resort in western Michigan.

RCI contracted with the resort between June 1997 and March 2006, according to the indictment. Between 2002 and 2006 alone, Grand Traverse paid RCI over $3 million for grounds and maintenance services, kitchen cleaning and housekeeping duties. But RCI failed to pay employment taxes on its nationwide operations — defrauding the government of more than $18 million — and didn’t require its workers to show proof of legal U.S. residence as required by law, according to the indictment.

An estimated 250 illegal immigrants working as janitors were caught up in the probe, according to the law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the charges hadn’t yet been publicly announced.

    Now if you happen to watch C-Span or C’Span2 on the TV set you should know that your voice is seldom heard by Congress. Rather then blog about the things you do not like, try casting your votes for someone else in the up comming election. We can bitch all we want but to get action you must cause action to be made. Vote the SOB’s out ot the eazy job they now have.
    Sit Idol and they screw you without using KY Jel.

    We vote and write, that is how it works. We get our message out across the U.S. and the World if my hit count and record is any indication.

    Why would you assume someone who writes daily on politics does not vote.

    Further, my readers may be swayed to my point of view or see something that forces them to vote.

    It’s called synergy.
