Wil Cardon's Illegal Worker Problem |
| |
|
"In the case of immigration,
some of Cardon's business
interests have drawn
scrutiny from U.S.
Immigration and Customs
Enforcement. A Subway
franchise company co-owned
by Cardon was fined three
years ago for federal
violations related to
failure to document the
legal status of more than
150 employees suspected of
being illegal immigrants,
federal and state records
show. |
|
|
|
Investigators for ICE
reported that nearly half of
the 315 employees at some
Subway restaurants owned by
RCC Partners were believed
to be "undocumented alien
workers." Investigators also
reported that their employer
failed to comply with
federal
employment-eligibility
paperwork. Two of the
ownership groups for RCC
Partners are at least partly
owned by Cardon, according
to state corporate records." |

Wil Cardon Threatens Clair Van Steenwyk At Pima County Fair |
| |
|
"Wil Cardon for US Senate
THREATENED Van Steenwyk for
US Senate at the Pima County
Fair, Thurber Exhibit Hall,
Friday afternoon April 27,
2012." [...] "Cardon was
shouting so loud in Van’s
face that Pima County Fair
goers left the two hundred
foot aisle to observe from a
safe distance, and the
vendors are still talking
about it today." [...]
Apparently Cardon’s Pima
County Campaign Manager was
at his side and did nothing
to stop Cardon’s public
outburst, or check Cardon’s
behavior that was clearly
unbecoming of a US Senate
Candidate, let alone a
Campaign Manager. |
