Bringing Them in to Keep Them Out?
Fox News
A southern California company responsible for building much of the border fence that helps keep illegal immigrants out of the country will pay nearly $5 million in fines — for hiring illegal immigrants.
The U.S. Attorney says as many as one-third of the Golden State Fence Company's workers were in the country illegally — even after the company pledged to clean house when authorities discovered illegal workers on the payroll back in 1999.
Two executives could also face jail time, but their attorney says the case merely proves that construction companies need a guest worker program.
