Texas Company Must Forfeit Over $5 Million for Hiring Illegal Aliens

A company in Texas must forfeit $5.5 million to the government for hiring illegal aliens over a course of nine years, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas Wednesday.

Waste Management of Texas hired at least three managers who actively encouraged illegal aliens to work between 2003 to April 2012, according to a press release from the attorney’s office. Many workers were hired or rehired with little to no regard to authorization status at the Houston location.

"The non-prosecution agreement requires Waste Management to continue its substantial remedial measures to address all past immigration violations and forfeit more than $5.5 million in proceeds gained from hiring an illegal workforce at the Afton [Street] location," U.S. Attorney Ryan Patrick said in statement.

#5  When they start sending the hiring personnel to jail...

I seem to remember there was a crime law in that regards and it was repealed during Reagan's years. Could be wrong. But it sure the hell should be a crime.

#4  Need to up the fine to $1 million per illegal hired.

If caught, most companies would be immediately put out of business.
With stringent enforcement, companies would stop hiring them as the draw of illegals coming here would diminish.
Put up a wall to keep most drug mules and gangs from crossing the border and call it a win.

#3  WMA probably got lazy and didn't cover pay up for Obama's 2nd term.

#1  Waste Management can easily pay the fine, they are a huge company -- which is why the local USAtty went after them. WMA probably got lazy and didn't cover up who they were hiring until 2012. All the while wages are depressed for the legal.
