It was the wonderful Casa De Maryland that brought this to you viva a lawsuit against the Maryland DMV

After pleading guilty to conspiring to harbor illegal immigrants on behalf of the company his grandfather founded, Lawrence Shipley III promised Friday that his family doughnut company will continue to evolve.

Shipley, the current president of Houston-based regional baker Shipley Do-Nuts, pleaded guilty last week to his own similar criminal charge and Friday to the separate charge against the corporation.

“This 72-year-old company is absolutely committed to immigration compliance in its hiring practices,” Shipley said. Though he said he didn’t hire the two dozen undocumented workers the government found at a Shipley Do-Nut plant in an April raid, his father did and he kept the status quo. “I’ve been accountable since 2005.”

Shipley said that if his late father, who he credited with housing and taking care of his workers, were alive to see this prosecution,”I’m sure he’d just say ‘That’s life in the big city.’”

Shipley personally pleaded guilty last week to a misdemeanor charge of employing undocumented workers and was put on six months probation and ordered to pay a $6,000 fine.

On Friday, Jimmy Rivera, a former Shipley Do-Nuts warehouse manager; Julian Garcia, the current warehouse manager; and Christopher Halsey, the current warehouse supervisor, all pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of hiring illegal immigrants. Each man was sentenced to six months probation and fined between $1,000 and $2,000.

Dennis Cain, Shipley’s attorney, said it’s true that for the last half century many businesses and individuals in Texas and other border states have benefited from the labors of workers here illegally. And, he said, this prosecution happened to Shipley Do-Nuts “because it’s the law” and because Shipley Do-Nuts was targeted by immigration officials after the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission began investigating allegations of discrimination and harassment of workers at Shipley Do-Nuts. The commission sued Shipley Do-Nuts and settled that case.

The company is scheduled to be sentenced on the criminal charge in December by U.S. District Judge Ewing Werlein Jr. It faces a maximum fine of $500,000 and up to five years probation.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Ryan McConnell told the judge Friday that in its plea deal with the government, the company agreed to improve its immigration compliance and to pay $1.3 million to the government in lieu of forfeiting company-owned homes where undocumented workers lived.

U.S. Attorney Donald DeGabrielle has promised a continued crackdown on businesses that provide a magnet for immigrants to enter the country illegally. unquote

Consider the risk employers much better to use E-Verify
Hire 24 illegals and total cost = 5 years probation & $508,000
and drumroll 1.3 million dollars (in leiu of company houses where the illegals
resided)…… priceless

It’s nice to put up a encouraging story once in a while
Bravo Attorney Donald DeGabrielle they finally spit it out correctly. It is against the law. Frame their statements. Everyone was on the same page stating it was illegal to hire illegal aliens. The prosecuter U.S. attorney, the defense attorney and the assistant attorney. It’s a miracle.
Enjoy
Pass this to any stubborn employer and tell them the winds of change are here and They will pay big if they are caught.
After the discrimination suit was settled they went after him on criminal charges.Employers Still want to hire illegals ? You could lose everything.

Recently a DMV employee was convicted of assisting over 200 get illegal drivers’ licenses, and her sentence? Three years. Less than 5 days per offence.

One can only guess at the true cost to the taxpaying American these people are responsible for.

Anyone convicted and doing 5 or more years for armed robbery, which probably got them less than $400.00, is kicking themselves right now for their poor choice in criminal careers.

Get involved and help ACLJ and Stop the ACLU. If it is possible to link these two organizations up we just might be able to get something done,
It’s worth a try. If it takes off GREAT!

Don’t you know that Americans should obey the laws blindly. Americans should not ask those in authority to enforce the laws equally because it hurts the illegals feelings and it splits their families up.

It’s okay if an illegal murders, because they only came here to work and of course feed their family. We should excuse all violations of law that illegal commit because Americans are insensitive nativists, and illegals only want to feed their families.

I need to start collecting a dime for every time I see or hear that phrase. I’d be able to retire in six months.

Give every illegal citizenship and all of America’s problems are solved.

Wonder if Deane would do this?

I suspect that level would be reached well before anyone was paying $10 for a head of lettuce, let alone $50.
