Geez, what an idiot! Lock him up for good for all I care.
"Remedy has agreed to pay a $500,000 fine, $414,000 in civil penalties, and serve five years of probation - the maximum under federal sentencing guidelines."
I guess that's 5 years he'll hire legal workers.
Dang, he should be indicted under the Patriot Act or something. How do we know that some of the "illegals" weren't Islmofascists getting access to food that our military will be eating and putting very bad stuff in there?
Just like the guy with the laser---they say it isn't terrorism but are using the Patriot Act---what other reason would a person/persons be trying to blind pilots?
"Although no direct link to terrorism was found in this case, companies that place short term profits above potential threats to national security will be held accountable for their illegal conduct," U.S. Attorney Michael Shelby said in a news release."
Do we dare hope that the "authorities" may start coming down on some of these employers?
Cancel all their government contracts and fine them a percentage (say 5%) of their gross revenue for FY2003. If they're still in business after all's said and done, I'll bet they'll stick to legal hiring practices.
It's def a start, but this probably happens hundreds if not thousands of times a day.Just the tip of the iceberg. How difficult would it be for a terrorist to infiltrate a stategic supplier?
This sets a precedent for going after computer companies, high-tech electronic companies, and all other businesses that hire illegals, or do business with say, China.

Seems excessive to charge >$40 for an MRE. Must be some of those gourmet MREs.
Throw these vermin in jail! We need to start getting serious about these criminals.
Hmmm, "fraudulent 'I-9' employment eligibility documents."
That suggests some sort of ID data, perhaps phony or stolen SSNs.
If the company reported their earnings on W-2s the company's name is in the SSA's Earnings Suspense File (ESF) along with tens of thousands of other companies' employee earnings data and company ID.
Just a matter of time.
Except the government doesn't really care either unless it's directly related to a national security matter.
Bear Stearns, who has recently studied this illegal underground economy, concludes there are at least 20 million illegals in this country. TWENTY MILLION. According to them a population the size of NEW YORK STATE.
This is discussed on Lou Dobbs and will play again later. I'll post the transcript tomorrow if I get time.
As the Bear Stearns rep said, " Our Government lags reality"
