Man sentenced for hiring unauthorized workers

GREENBELT, Md. (AP) — A man who owned a D.C.-area pool company has been sentenced for hiring people who were not legally authorized to work in the United States.

Forty-seven-year-old Raymond Scott Vincent of Gaithersburg was sentenced to two days in prison and 60 days of home confinement Tuesday in federal court in Baltimore. He was also ordered to perform community service, pay a $36,000 fine and forfeit $42,000.

According to his plea agreement, Vincent was the owner of RSV Pools, a company that provided lifeguards and pool maintenance. Prosecutors say Vincent hired at least 12 people who were not authorized to work in the country.

How the heck!!! All this amnesty to illegal criminals? But hey, if they can do what they want with our fourth amendment rights, they can do whatever! If the owner was an illegal......no problem! Guaranteed!

couldn't you at least TRY to be civil to others? being rude is just a weak persons imitation of strength. Be nice, maybe people will think otherwise.
