We are probably all aware at this point in our lives that many illegal immigrants work in car washes and even with the alleged crackdown on illegal immigration and the outrage of citizens in the United States of America, it is obvious that nothing has changed in car washes. they are still hiring illegal aliens.

This has been going on for decades and having been in the car wash industry I was always completely appalled at these violations that our competition was committing against our immigration laws. In my travels I have also visited over 3000 coin operated car washes, 700 full service car washes, 3800 dump car washes and even washed my Corporate Command Center at over 100 different truck washes. I have personally seen the units of over 1000 mobile washing units and have visited every other major manufacturer of washing equipment. I can tell you that although my competition in the mobile car wash business generally did not hire illegal aliens, some were illegal aliens themselves.

And the fixed-site car wash owners, well, let’s just say most of them used illegal foreign labor. And as far as “used” goes, it was really closer to “exploited,” as they deliberately, knowingly, and continuously violated our immigration laws.

We can stop this abuse, you need to call your local Border Patrol and/or INS office and demand that they get down to business and raid your local car wash and not on a slow Monday either. On a Friday or Saturday there are 20-30 illegal aliens working taking jobs that local college students would love to have. Consider this in 2006.
