Dairy farmer gets prison time for hiring illegals

Guilty of knowingly harboring undocumented aliens for private gain

(Bay City Times) A Michigan dairy farmer is to spend a couple of years in federal prison and owes a six-figure fine for hiring undocumented immigrants.

U.S. District Judge Thomas L. Ludington on Thursday, Jan. 4, sentenced Denis Burke to two years in prison, followed by two years of supervised release. Ludington did not order Burke taken into custody on Thursday, but gave him time to self-report to the U.S. Marshals Services.

So what this says us he will be in jail for ever then, basically right? becasue you can;t run a business from jail, and while your in jail how can you pay any fine? What take of ten cents a day your in the jail? Then if he doesn't pay the 6 figure fine, oppps back in jail he goes...

If they really get serious about hiring illegals there are going to be a lot of businesses going under and their owners to jail.Probably my son also. I asked him a few years back if any of his employees were illegal and he said they were all illegal but they had papers so they could work,he said he didn't know where they got their SS# ect but they all had them and he was positive they were phoney but now he denies he ever said that.I sure as hell don't want to see him go to jail but he has got get his stuff right and I told him that.

If someone hires illegals, they need to face the consequences because that is just as bad as being here illegally. As far as saying they are hard workers and cheap labor , you need to check your math skills.

Hope so. If they hire illegals , they need to be held accountable

so, when are the mayors and city councils of sanctuary cities going to be tossed in prison?
They are illegally aiding and abetting known illegals,giving them refuge and tax payers money.
I guess the laws that apply to us commoners don`t apply to politicians or the 1%ers.

This is so, so, so, twisted! We allow entire states and cities to do the same with no ramifications, but some dairy farmer hires them and pays dearly.

They also get public assistance, free education for their children, free health care just too name a few of the perks for being here illegally. Hence, the taxpayers ars paying for them. So much for cheap labor.

If legal Americans got all these perks , we would take these jobs and work 8 days a week
