Carolyn Hileman - The Voice* | March 2, 2008
WASHINGTON (PAI) — Continuing his crusade against repressive immigration enforcement raids on workers,
United Food and Commercial Workers President Joe Hansen
declared, “workers cannot sit back anymore and say ‘it cannot happen here’ because it has.” In a fiery speech before a commission his union set up last year to travel the country and gather evidence on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency raids on worksites, Hansen declared the union campaign’s goal is nothing less than to preserve a key part of the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, he said, it is to restore to workers protections guaranteed in the fourth amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The amendment is the part of the Bill of Rights that bars unreasonable searches and seizures by the government.
