Excuse me?
“The company is not a target of the investigation and has been fully cooperative. “
Who do you think knowingly hired them?
This is why we cant have any formal immigration reform if the people whom are the cause of invasion of illegal aliens, do not get prosecuted!
Please, call your congress and demand E-verify, additionally to levy heavy financial penalties for those companies whom are caught hiring illegal aliens.
