The Immigration and Naturalization Service raided a construction site in northern Virginia today, to arrest illegal immigrants working there. The INS is working with the Commonwealth of Virginia to rout illegal workers and then supply the employer with the names of eligible people who could get off welfare if they had those jobs. NPR's Barbara Bradley went along on today's raid. While there, she talked with jobsite supervisors who wonder whether there are enough people on welfare who have the skills needed to do construction.
