Illegals to build Bush's fence

Who's sorry now?

The GOP for opening up the topic of immigration... Hullo, America, you are not doing the jobs these workers are willing to do...no matter how much you do protest that fact.

And now, here is another shining example of how it embarrases the GOP....the President's border fence is supposed to be built by Golden State Fence Company - who just got fined for hiring illegals. PS - We bet there will never be an actual fence built.

NPR A fence-building company in Southern California agrees to pay nearly $5 million in fines for hiring illegal immigrants. Two executives from the company may also serve jail time. The Golden State Fence Company's work includes some of the border fence between San Diego and Mexico....
It is exceptionally rare for those who employ illegal immigrants to face any kind of criminal prosecution, let alone jail time.

Earlier this week, for example, immigration raids on six meat-packing plants netted almost 1,300 suspected illegal workers. But no charges were leveled against the company that runs the plants: Swift.

Golden State Fence's attorney, Richard Hirsch, admits his client broke the law. But he says the case proves that construction companies need a guest-worker program.
