Asplundh Tree Execs Charged With Running Undocumented Workers Scheme
Philly Mag ^ | 02/15/2017 | VICTOR FIORILLO

Willow Grove-based Asplundh Tree Expert Co. is huge, privately owned corporation with more than 36,000 employees and estimated annual sales of $3.5 billion, according to Forbes, which counts it as one of America’s largest private companies. But now, Asplundh finds itself the recipient of some very unwelcome attention thanks to charges just filed in federal court.

An Asplundh vice president, Larry Gauger, 45, of Wayne, has been charged with visa fraud and conspiracy relating to his work at the company. Two other Asplundh managers have been charged as well, according to the Department of Justice, but their names have yet to be released.

I dont know how accurate this is but the article states:
Pretty interesting dilemma for a company that donates so much money to Republicans.

only 100 employees are illegals ?

No mention if 100 were deported.

Asplundh gets a lot of work from PECO (Philadelphia Electric Company). Google Asplundh and your local utility. I wouldnt be surprised if all the public utilities are subbing out work to Asplundh.

Plenty of Republican officials want the same thing they want.

I wonder what “visa fraud and conspiracy” means exactly? It sounds a lot more serious than just hiring a few illegals.

This is excellent!! If more employers of illegals were sent to prison, others might think twice about hiring that cheap source of labor. Then, if enough employers quit hiring illegals, AND welfare benefits were denied, they’d start self-deporting, saving us taxpayers billions.

Gauger is also accused of directing his managers to rehire under false identification employees who had been fired as a result of the Homeland Security audit.

How nice. Lock these criminals up.

Obama & Bush’s TSA allows them to board US carriers on fake ID

TSA has been forbidden to profile. Even if the individual is clearly a non-English speaking person , presenting a Minnesota drivers license with the name of Sam Larsen ....

Hawaii Senators Mazie Hirono and Brian Schatz are now days in complete collusion with this process of aiding and abetting illegal immigration into Hawaii

You don’t really think that I thought they swam there...do you?

However, if they did I would vote for them to stay if they joined our Olympic team...

nope , but your comment allowed me to offer more insight on our situation out here .

the Federal crime of entering a US carrier air craft is committed daily , with the acquiescence of TSA , in the politically correct directive not to ‘profile’

They are endangering the nation . And Hawaii

Power company contracts in Texas - from what I saw first hand, none of them ever spoke a word of English and they did sloppy, I-don't-give-a-crap work. Used to dread seeing any of those Asplundh crews come around. Trees were going to get butchered whether you liked it or not.
