The superintendent didnt know anything about it. and I doubt that Mrs. Banuelos knew anything about it." If Mrs. Banuelos was victimized. it was by the connivance of the Immigration Service that Farrell heads. The raid on the tortilla factory was a putup job on a newspapermans tip intended to be a publicity sensation to pressure "superiors in Washington" into providing funds for a big alien roundup. This was frankly admitted to the Los Angeles Herald Examiner by an immigration official. Noel Doran. who also happens to be president of the American Federal Government Employees Union. Local 505. made up exclusively of Immigration Service employees. "There are 250.000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles and Orange County alone." Doran was quoted as saying. "If we were given the funds and ability to round these aliens up. we would create 250.000 new jobs or take hundreds off welfare rolls. but our hands are tied by our superiors in Washington. We chose her (Mrs. Banuelos) firm because we knew it would generate a lot of publicity." The publicity was perfect: Pictures of miniskirted women hired by Nixons nominee for treasurer of the United States being herded by the feds and shipped back to Mexico.
