http://patch.com/new-york/smithtown/da-landscaper-says-illegal-immigration-made-him-smash-dump-truck-macys-steal-at-0By Ryan Bonner (Patch National Staff)
A landscape contractor from Glen Cove told police that he and an accomplice stole a dump truck from a cemetery, smashed it through the Smith Haven Mall Macys and then fled with an ATM last month because of the hard times caused by the influx of immigrant labor, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota.
Garrett Landry, 26, will be arraigned on a grand jury indictment in Riverhead Friday morning stemming from the incident last month, Spota said.
According to Spota, Landry, the owner-operator of Garland Contracting, a Glen Cove firm specializing in landscape and masonry construction, told Suffolk detectives that times are hard right now and I cant compete with all the illegal immigration; theyre taking over and they work for nothing.

based on his dumb as a bag of rocks rhetoric, I'd say he's already a tea bagger. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't somehow related to the dim bulb that has the Romney campaign emblem tattooed to his face, either.

Strange shit happens sometimes. I'll give the guy credit for coming up with a novel argument even though it's bullshit.
