Managers? What about owners? I'm under direction.

By the letter of the law, I did nothing illegal (sound like a politician (I never had sexual relations with my employees)). I should quit managing? You should quit buying US grown produce as your dollars fund this. I thought one of the precepts of this WEB site was a little self responsibility?

I would like to see you run a labor intensive crop in California without hiring even suspected illegals with proper papers.

Grapes get grown and harvested in other countries using automation and technology as substitutes for most of the labor. As far as I can tell, your insistence that it can only be done by breaking the law speaks to a lack of imagination and poor management. Australian wines are often better and often cheaper than their equivalent California products so I expect consumers would benefit from your industry being deprived of its illegal labor force. I have little sympathy for criminal behavior. Your assets should be seized and sold at auction to somebody who will obey the law.
