I live in the southills of Pgh There have been more and more mexican people in work trucks and waiting at gas stations for what appears work pickups. Brickman's landscaping at least 6 in a truck . Southhills hotel on 51 had construction done by mexicans. I have heard that Traxs farms has several mexicans working for them. There were several mexicans working on underground wiring in the southhills I ask the gentleman in an unmarked white van what they were doing and who they were working for they said verizon. I have contacted some local borrows and allegheny country regarding these occurrances and got no response. I would like to bring it to your attention because not only if they are here without citizenship they are taking jobs that local tax paying citizens need. If their children are going to our local schools do their children have immunization shots. Where are these people living in the southhills. The economy is bad enough we don't need to have illegal immigrants living in our communities using our resources and not paying taxes or tying up our legal system and hospitals and bringing diseases into our communities because they have not been immunized.

Stay with this one Jane. I think it is very important and believe that we are entitled to know who is getting our tax dollars.
