Three cheers for whoever made this happen. Let's just hope Barry doesn't find out.
Yay

I agree. Wonder why this wasn't on the front page, News Times. This warms my cold heart some.

I hope this serves as a wake-up call to all local employers. Anyone who hires non-human employees deserves to go to jail.

If this was true justice, he would have to serve the maximum of five years. Hopefully he will default on his $150k payments to the government and his assets will be seized.

I hope Andrew Adames is completely ruined by his crimes and winds up committing suicide in a filthy, cheap motel room - alone and broke.

Wow --- the word taken out seemed to be an official government operation under Eisenhower to make jobs available for returning soldiers. Now you can't use the word ... this country is getting scary. figure out the word then do a search. If you werwe to WET your BACK you would get it clean. I just checked again, it's used in a Christian SCience Monitor news article.

Does anyone realize the good that Andrew does for the community? The thousands of dollars in charity donations? The golf outing? Fodd handouts? Does this not count for something. Maybe everyone is ready to throw him under the bus, but he is a wonderful person who treats all people with dignity and respect. Get to know the man before you toss cheap shots his way and you will agree. I promise you he has done more good than those sitting here on the internet lobbing venom his way. FOR SHAME!!

I don't buy it. This guy did nothing for the community other than break laws, harbor illegal aliens, dodge taxes and serve mediocre food. Save the Columbian necktie playground threats and go ask your mom to make you some chocolate milk.

He should serve his time and pay his fine as is defined in Sept., and never break the law in this way again. I would not want to see anyone in this case commit suicide.

PS... Next stop for ICE should be Brewster NY.

We need to stop the influx of Hispanics into the Danbury area immediately. We're almost at the proverbial "tipping point" where the percentage of non-whites will be high enough to make the city unihabitable for humans. Granted, the Hispanic tipping point is a lot higher than the Blacks'. Instead of the 15-40% tipping point for Blacks (often as low as 15% for schools), the Hispanic tipping point is around 60%. Over 60%, and the city has “gone Hispanic.”

And then the city is not the same. The process is much slower and not nearly as marked as what happens when a city turns Black, but you would have to be an idiot to say that what took place was not a general decline. Even at 60%, the place is surely much more livable than a 60% Black city, but it’s just not that nice White town anymore. There’s gangs and graffiti, and the schools are bad. Things start to look dilapidated. Homes start to look run-down and so do cars.

There is trash everywhere – Hispanics are notorious litterbugs. There is an increase in crime, most noticeably theft, often petty theft or minor theft. There are a lot more drugs around. There aren’t that many ra'pes, and women are fairly safe, but there is an increase in s'ex crimes. There is a lot more drunken driving, and drunken Hispanics start crashing into your cars.

Is this what we really want to happen to Danbury?

This is legal extortion on the part of the government. The punishment does not fit the crime. Are they targeting restaurants and not all the contractors in the state that hire illegals?

Andy is a fantastic guy who HAS given much back to our community. As a result of this witch hunt, he is closing two of his remaining four restaurants (including Monroe which is closing this month) in order to pay his hefty fine and attorney costs. Illegal aliens are a part of our life, and this problem STARTS with our government allowing them to easily cross our borders and then get free college educations, free medical care, food stamps, etc. Our government ENCOURAGES their arrival with many perks and rewards that we, as tax-paying Americans will never reap, and then turns around and punishes the people who hire them. Andy hired these guys because he could. Because they are extremely hard-workers with an amazing work ethic who are willing to do dirty jobs that Americans snub. Now, with two restaurants closing, I guarantee you that they are working for another restaurant or farm, or car wash right down the street. Andy was made an example of, paid the price, and I personally will be very sorry to see his great restaurants close as a result of this.
