Illegal Immigrants To Sue for Back Wages
By Associated Press | January 26, 2007
A state judge has ruled that several illegal immigrant workers may proceed with a lawsuit against a city construction company for back wages they say were withheld as part of a money laundering scheme. The defendants, led by Kel-Tech Construction Inc., argued that the federal Immigration Reform and Control Act bars immigrants who obtain employment with false documents from pursuing wage claims in court.
