At the link below you can read an article from NW Labor News. The 3rd largest Paper in Oregon. 84 Unions.

This story of an Illegal Alien and how he became an Activist for the Carpenters' Union & finally indicted for three Felonies is incredible. They admit he advocated for: Illegal Immigrants. How many American Home builders are struggling because of this Criminal? Why does this paper ask for more donations because he is only getting $450.00 week? Are you earning that, TAX FREE? He IS.

Carpenters organizer faces prison, deportation
By DON McINTOSH, Associate Editor

In a case that has brought immigration controversy to the heart of a local union, a Portland-area labor organizer is facing prison and deportation, stemming from the fact that he was in the United States illegally.

José Alfredo Cobián, 36, known to local union members as Jose Luis Mendoza, or simply Luis, spent the last five years working for the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters.

As an organizer, Cobián visited non-union construction sites to tout the benefits of joining the union.

Many of the workers on whose behalf he advocated were illegal immigrants.

He was held at the downtown Portland Justice Center over the weekend, and indicted Sept. 11 on three felony charges: making a false statement on a passport application, using someone else's birth certificate to obtain a Social Security number, and making false statements on a 2004 immigration petition to allow his wife to remain in the country. http://www.nwlaborpress.org/2006/11-17-06Imm.html
