Border Fencer Builder Hired Illegals And Admits It

J.J. Jackson* | May 26, 2007

Oh this is just too damn rich. You’ve GOT to know about this:

A fence-building company in Southern California agrees to pay nearly $5 million in fines for hiring illegal immigrants. Two executives from the company may also serve jail time. The Golden State Fence Company’s work includes some of the border fence between San Diego and Mexico.After an immigration check in 1999 found undocumented workers on its payroll, Golden State promised to clean house. But when followup checks were made in 2004 and 2005, some of those same illegal workers were still on the job. In fact, U-S Attorney Carol Lam says as many as a third of the company’s 750 workers may have been in the country illegally.

Oh, but wait! It gets better!

Golden State Fence’s attorney, Richard Hirsch, admits his client broke the law. But he says the case proves that construction companies need a guest-worker program.

That’s like a bank robber admitting that they stole your money and then justifying it by saying that the bank needs to make it easier for people to get loans. This attorney should have his license revoked for idiocy.
