I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the government’s bark is worse than its bite.

They’ll trim this fine down to the stump on appeal.

They’ll leave the illegals alone for a while, then after the sawdust settles, they’ll be right back chipper and sharp as an axe.....................

They went after a tree company.. lol! Can you say, propaganda? There are companies of extreme financial means that do this. If that’s the best they can do, they are truly impotent.
Here’s a bone conservatives.. next up amnesty for all. And no wall.

They ought to fined for the incredibly crappy pruning jobs they do. You literally couldn’t do a worse job than they do.

Good. Put them OUT OF BUSINESS. If there were no jobs for illegals they wouldn’t come here.

That's the second leg of the illegal alien tripod...

The underground economy that employs them

The other legs of the trifecta are:

The underground culture that shelters them and

The liberal establishment that attempts to legitimize their invasion.

All three legs have got to be knocked out.

“$95 million fine”

Now they have an idea of how much they’re supposed to be donating to campaigns.

The fact that congress is not serious about controlling immigration tells you the fine really has nothing to do with punishing them for using illegals.

My husband worked for them briefly. Hard to find American guys who like climbing. My husband didn’t.

“What say the Sessions bashers?”

You might want to go read the article which states:

“A Department of Homeland Security audit of the company, which began in 2009, found that many employees of the company were illegal aliens.”

So the “Little Southern-Fried Twerp” had nothing to do with the case at all with the possible exception of BSing folks like you who just don’t want to accept the reality that Sessions is as worthless as tits on a bull!

You want them to go out of business? They are a big presence where I live. Hate to see all those men lose their jobs. Sad when the government decides which businesses go under and which ones survive.

It would only a dozen, or so, major violators getting fined to put the rest on notice.
Put a couple out of business and watch what ripple effect that would have.

Good. This is the way to stop the crap.

Most of these ‘oh so caring companies’ pay illegals four dollars an hour... that's what a landscaping told me a few years ago... said it was hard to compete with companies like that...

Here in Northern California, you can’t find a white man working for a tree trimming company with the exception of the guy who gives you the estimate who is called an “arborist.” ( and in reality, just the rip off artist for the company). We’ve used Davey, and they could probably be taken to court as well. I will have to say though, the Hispanic workers are excellent, and they work very hard, which is more than you could say for most Blacks and Whites today when it comes to this kind of hard labor.
