McDonald's franchisee fined 1 million dollars for hiring illegal immigrants

A company that owns 11 McDonald's restaurants in Nevada was fined one million dollars Wednesday after pleading guilty to employing 58 illegal immigrants.
The company, Mack Associates Inc., knew the employees were illegal immigrants and had offered them names and social security numbers belonging to other people, the US Justice Department said.

The company pleaded guilty in federal court in Las Vegas to conspiracy to encourage and induce an alien's unlawful residence in the United States and aiding and abetting an alien to remain in the country, the department said.

The company's director of operations also pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting an alien to remain in the country.

It's about time they started going after the companies involved in this. Locking up and deporting some poor guy working for sub-standard wages and no benefits so he can try to make a better life for his family won't make a dent in the "problem". I've said all along, if we really want to stop illegal immigration, we need to end the incentive for them to come to the US - jobs. The only way to do that is to absolutely kill the companies hiring them.
