Bank employees deserve a reward - the meatpacking family should get serious jail time ...

[Fury]

These employers are going to be hammered and rightly so. If employers were held responsible for this sort of hiring, illegal immigration would not be the problem is has become.

[libertylover]

32 were released.

I thought Trump ended Catch And Release.

[Sybeck1]

Taxman cometh

[Captain Compassion]

And those employees being paid under the table owe whole lot of back taxes + interest and penalties.

[dadfly]

owner needs to be prosecuted, and his political party and contributions brought to light.

[central_va]

Throw the owners into the meat grinders.

[Jim Noble]

An investigation revealed that James Brantley, who is the president of Southeastern Provisions and his wife Pamela Brantley, along with their daughter Kelsey Brantley and Priscilla Keck, an employee, were withdrawing cash to pay employees at the slaughterhouse

The Brantleys should have their citizenship revoked and be deported to Honduras.

“But based on aerial surveillance, 87 vehicles were found parked...”

And that was just in Jose and Maria’s front yard down the street.

[Alberta's Child]

I agree, but I also suspect the government investigators didn’t really give a damn about the illegal immigrants. If it wasn’t for all the cash transactions and the unpaid payroll taxes, those illegals would still be there.

[ConservativeMind]

They were probably the few citizens the plant chose to hire.

[max americana]

Obviously. You would be pissed off too if you were the only ones at work speaking English..

I live in East Tennessee.
WATE bills itself an “On Your Side”.
No. This liberal TV Station is on the illegals side
in this conservative part of Tennessee.

As far as making donations to the Catholic
Church in Morristown, I have been tempted
to call and offer a donation of 2 Greyhound
Bus tickets back to Mexico.

WATE must think they broadcast in California.

“And those employees being paid under the table owe whole lot of back taxes + interest and penalties”

And all people sending money South of the Border should pay a 5% transfer “Wall” tax. More than fair considering how much is paid under the table to these Illegals.

[11th_VA]

Thanks for that info. I stopped reading when I got to that part, but had read nowhere else about the bank story ...

[tennmountainman]

The Bank is the real hero in this story.

[SaveFerris]

Lots of Americans without jobs. This is but one reason why.

Some employers should be facing prison sentences.

[SaveFerris]

And the one(s) passing the money under the table need to go to prison.

No passing Go. No collecting $200.

Go directly to jail.

[SaveFerris]

I’m for a 35% fee. That will pay for the wall, the free medical care, the Border Patrol.....

[Karliner]

Over fifty down 11,000,000-40,000,000 to go depending on whose numbers are right.
