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. |
