Owner pleads guilty to harboring illegals

The owner of an Iowa City roofing company who fled to Mexico with her family after her arrest has pleaded guilty to harboring illegal immigrants.

Samira Zuniga, 33, a U.S. citizen and Iowa City resident, entered her pleas Monday in federal court in Cedar Rapids.

Homeland Security arrested nine illegal immigrants April 26 in Hiawatha at a residential roofing job site, where Zuniga's company, Xtreme Construction, was working.

According to the U.S. Attorney district office in Cedar Rapids, evidence presented at an earlier bond hearing showed Zuniga withdrew several thousand dollars in cash from personal and business accounts and fled to Mexico with her husband, a Mexican citizen, and their two children shortly after the Hiawatha arrests.

Zuniga was arrested June 20 shortly after she returned to the U.S. from Mexico. Zuniga was arrested while she and others were in the process of loading items into a cargo trailer to be taken back to Mexico, where her husband and children remained.

Zuniga was convicted of one count of harboring and transporting an alien, and one count of conspiring with others to harbor, transport and encourage aliens to reside in the U.S. in violation of law.

The U.S. Marshal has her in custody pending sentencing because the court has determined she poses a risk of flight risk.

Sentencing has not been set, but Zuniga faces a maximum sentence of 15 years imprisonment and a $500,000 fine.

DUAL CITIZENSHIP in both Mexico and the United States apparently DOES have it's advantages.

Slide into the USA, make LOTS of US Greenbacks, then slide right back down to Mexico when you get caught breaking the law.

This works for everything from roofers to slave trafficking, to drug trafficking, and permeates every facet of American life.

Illegal aliens are even becoming police officers, public school teachers, and main stream news reporters.

Only in America.

Since she is now KNOWN as a flight risk let's hope they don't release her on ANY kind of bond... AND they confiscate everything associated with her name left in the US. And YES I do mean everything! It was "ill gotten gains" to begin with, and now it will be spent in Messico if she is allowed to retain anything.

Only in America do ILLEGAL ALIENS go on TELEVISED PROTESTS and DEMAND that laws be ERASED from the law books so they CANNOT BE DETECTED or deported.

Only in America do citizens who are land owners have their property trespassed by ILLEGAL ALIENS from another country and after they protest they are either murdered or HAVE THEIR PROPERTY CONFISCATED and GIVEN TO THE ILLEGAL ALIENS.

Only in America ..
