Meatpacking Plant Owner Pleads Guilty to Employing Illegal Aliens




Thu, Sep 13^th 2018 @ 12:57 pm EDT

James Brantley, the owner of a Tennessee meatpacking plant, pled guilty yesterday to tax fraud, wire fraud, and employment of illegal aliens. ICE conducted an enforcement action at his Southeastern Provision slaughterhouse in Bean Station on April 5th. He faces up to 20 years in prison when sentenced Feb. 4.

Jere Miles -- the ICE Special Agent in Charge who oversaw the April effort – said, "This case was a criminal investigation from day one, not simply an immigration enforcement action." Agents discovered 104 illegal aliens working at the plant although Brantley told the Internal Revenue Service he had only 44 wage-earning employees. Over the last ten years, using unauthorized workers allowed him to avoid paying almost $1.3 million in federal payroll taxes.

Court records show the company started to hire illegal aliens in 1988. In the beginning, Brantley didn't ask for identification. Last year, he started to record Social Security numbers workers provided but did not follow ID verification procedures. He paid workers less than $10 per hour in cash and regularly made them work long hours.

In addition to the jail sentence, Brantley could be fined up to $500,000, plus a $3,000 fine for each unauthorized worker. He also must forfeit nearly $1.5 million under his plea agreement.

GOOD...GO AFTER ALL OF THESE EMPLOYERS, JAIL AND FINE THEM!

They should also reimburse taxpayers for the childbirth, welfare, food stamps, identity theft, crime and ALL violations associated with HIS illegal alien employees!

Go after their families, load them on a bus and get them OFF our soil.

THEY CANNOT STAY HERE!

THEY TAKE THEIR MINOR CHILDREN WITH THEM!

Bean Station ICE raid: Slaughterhouse owner pleads guilty to hiring illegal workers

Hopefully this monster will get the full 20 year sentence or at least a good bit of it. We need much much more of this. People who hire illegals need to do years of can time. Then no one will hire illegals.
