ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - An Albuquerque businessman has accepted a plea agreement to accusations of hiring undocumented immigrants.

Thirty-nine-year-old Feng Chen was the last of six people to enter a plea agreement after they were arrested last summer when three Chinese restaurants in Albuquerque were accused of hiring undocumented immigrants.

Chen pleaded guilty to federal charges of harboring and inducing immigrants to enter the country illegally and knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.

Chen will be sentenced August 30th before US District Judge James Browning. The plea deal calls for Chen to face up to six months in prison plus probation. He also must forfeit more than $20,000.

More good news.
(Maybe he should have opened a Mexican restaurant).

Well, at least they got him. The sentence or fine should be worse.
Martha Stewart got worse than this. Oh, yea, forgot. She's a CITIZEN!

Maybe he can get Martha to decorate his cell. Couple of dragons, couple of take out menus......
