News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Employers in Arkansas, Kentucky and Ohio hit with criminal charges in connection with illegal alien employment schemes

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As part of its enhanced efforts to combat illegal alien employment schemes through criminal prosecutions, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) today announced the results of three separate investigations that resulted in criminal charges against businesses employing illegal aliens in Kentucky, Ohio, and Arkansas.

Yesterday, two limited liability corporations in Kentucky pleaded guilty to criminal charges of harboring illegal aliens and money laundering in connection with an illegal employment scheme at hotels. They agreed to pay $1.5 million cash in lieu of forfeiture and create internal compliance programs. Sentencing in the case is scheduled for October.

Meanwhile in Ohio, ICE agents arrested the owner of a restaurant on felony charges of harboring illegal aliens after 10 of his illegal workers were apprehended. In Arkansas, ICE agents arrested the owner of a construction business on felony charges and apprehended 27 of his illegal workers.
