Police in a town south of Orlando, Florida, arrested an illegal alien working at a construction site after presumably being involved in the workplace death of a fellow employee, part of a worrisome trend made worse during the Biden years.

Upon arrival, officers reported finding the body of an employee identified as Jose Lopez. He had apparently been inspecting or repairing the mechanism of a front-end loading bucket tractor when his head was crushed between the frame and the bucket of the tractor.
A police report says officers questioned a site worker named Angel Bautista Martinez, 29, who said he was nowhere near the tractor when Lopez was killed. However, officers observed blood on Martinez’s pants and investigated his story further.

Officers arrested Martinez and charged him in the death of his fellow worker. He was initially charged with second-degree manslaughter, but prosecutors are likely to upgrade his charges to a first-degree felony because he is in the country illegally.

Last year, it was reported that illegal aliens made up more than 60 percent of the victims of workplace deaths.

Migrants are especially at risk because many have less on-the-job experience, nor do they have industry certifications and training, and they are often under age as well.
