I'm glad to see some action in this area. A couple of cases like this will go along way in correcting the situation. Start enforcing the law and illegals will move to the "sanctuary" cities/states.

This guy should have done a decade. Sounds like he got off easy. He will probably be right back at it.

The economy is already in trouble and, without cheap labor, costs will skyrocket.

Ahem....I guess you haven't noticed....they already ARE skyrocketing......

For example....medical costs.....as you pay for all of those who don't pay into the system.......

One crooked business man down, thousands to go!! If the federal government aggressively went after employers who hired illegals and put their carcasses in prison for serious time the illegals would go home. We don't need to spend millions on custom and border agents, we need to dry up the money so the illegals go home by themselves.

"" Eighteen months is just a slap on the wrist in my opinion."" This man should have been held as an example to the rest of the businessmen that hire & pay illegals under the table...He should have done 5 years in my opinion,and,he should have done it without parole...Time to start cracking down on the other "BUSINESSMEN" that practice this type of hiring...

Oh, so it's better that American citizens are out of work so the illegals can get paid by these criminal "businessmen"? We're already paying sky high prices for these 12+ million illegals in our country and the price of tomatoes doesn't begin to show the real costs.

So the solution is to hire contractors who break the law by hiring criminals? Please explain.

It is about time the do something about this. It seem like government were scared or something to do anything about this. They need to do more though. It is beginning to be a BIG problem here and everywhere.

The illegals GO HOME! That's hilarious..Go home to what? A day in the States is better than a year in their "hacienda" on that ol dirt road down in Mexico way, Nicaragua, Panama, Guatemala, Venezuela, Columbia. Can you Hola que tal? The American liberals will spend whatever it takes from the average hard working American so they can go their WASP churches and corner Wailing Centers called the last Church before the Train Stop to appease those who are here illegally! History repeats itself.

Hola Star!
America was built by LEGAL immigrants. By definition the people mentioned in this story are illegal aliens, we just recently started using the term "illegal immigrants" to apparently soften the blow when they are given citizenship without going through the legal process.
If no one has said this to you yet, let me be the first. Welcome to America!

America was discovered and built by illegal immigrants, read your history book before you speak on how America was built. We need to thank the european for our Great Country.

No we need to thank our founding fathers and those that have defended our country and made it possible for us to have these freedoms.
