Woo-Hoo. Employers going to Jail.

@ 02:27 PM (14 months, 26 days ago)

We need to hear more of these stories, and they're far too few.

Book 'Em, Dano.

The owners of a far East El Paso quarry where 25 undocumented immigrants were found working in substandard conditions last April have been sentenced to federal prison, officials with the U.S. Attorneys office said.

Romualdo Soto, 53, of Clint, was sentenced Friday to five months in prison followed by five months of home confinement and to pay a $10,000 fine. Sotos brother, Jose Cruz Soto, 41, of far East El Paso, was sentenced Feb. 1 to four months in prison followed by four months of home confinement and a $1,000 fine.

Sounds VERY light to me. Why not about $200,000 fine each and 5 years?

 

The case was the first criminal prosecution of a business for employing undocumented immigrants in the Western District of Texas in seven or eight years, officials said.

First in 8 years??? That's ok, it's a start and word travels fast.

  1. Ya I was out there last month and saw some mining bisiness out that way. Also saw lots of border patrol vehicles and was stopped and questioned at least once along interstate 10.
