Tree Company To Pay Record $95 Million Fine For Employing People In Country Illegally

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — One of the largest tree and brush removal companies in the country pleaded guilty to hiring and re-hiring hundreds undocumented workers and will pay nearly $100 million to the feds.

Asplundh Tree Experts, based in Willow Grove, PA, have been contracted by utility companies like PECO, PSE&G, and others around the country to maintain the area near electric and gas lines.

US Attorney special assistant Josh Davison says the company’s management turned a blind eye for years while work was being done by illegal immigrants.

“Having those employees leave the company, and then turn around days and weeks later to be re-hired by the company, simply under different names,” said Davison.

Davison says a six-year audit revealed the company decentralized the hiring process so upper management could bury their heads in the sand while supervisors hired illegal workers through word of mouth referrals.

Asplundh has to fork over $95 million, the largest settlement ever in an immigration case.

This company's trucks are everywhere in the NorthEast. Huge operation with over 30,000 employees. Story doesn't mention it but I think they do a lot of government work too cutting back trees that are overhanging roads.

Now we're talking. Makes no sense going after the poor families, it's the big companies that should be monitored and fined.

This. I've been saying for years here that if anyone is serious about stemming the flow of illegal immigrants they'd stop pointing their finger at the brown people who want to work and start directing their ire at the businesses that employ them. Problem is it conflicts with the pro-business views of most conservatards.

By all means. Make it absolutely impossible to work here in the US. No welfare either. Treat them like tourists. Time to go home tourists.

All of them buddy. Foreigners shouldn't be working here unless they have some extra special skill nobody else has to offer.
