Thread: Sacramento nursery loses most of its staff in immigration cr

Sounds like the company owes money in back state and federal taxes for illegally employing 70 workers for 20 yrs and fines for that black market labor! This person is lucky not to have their doors closed as it is! Makes you wonder if there's any legal unemployed people up their that could work for this company? The story dosent bring up that side of this issue!

Unemployment rate in Sacramento is over 13 percent.

Over 28 percent for blacks.

My point exactly see they sit and cry about how unfair it is they had to let 70 people go and yet there's more than enough legal workers out there to substain the nursery and I bet their paychecks will go back into their surrounding comunity and not get sent to mexico! Their are a lot of groups to jump in and defend the blackmarket labor force coming from mexico but there's really nothing for the american laborer! It make me sick to think with all the jobs being sent over seas and the never ending onslaught of black market labor no wonder we are in a recession most of the products we buy are cheap made in america dosent have the same meaning it once did! When I was young that label ment quality and dependabillity but now it doesn't mean crap

OH CRY ME A RIVER she knew they were illegal all she wanted is cheap labor. she needs to be fined and shut down im sure there are legal americans there that can fill that void.Untill they start cracking down on theses employers fine them or shut them down it will not stop.We as americans do our part dont let employers that hire illegals work for us the employers will get the message once they cant get work they cant pay their illegal helpers they will get the message that we of tired of their cheap labor.IF WE CANT RUN THEM OUT THEN STARVE THEM OUT!!!!!!

Ryan Wallace should be imprisoned for intentionally breaking the law, just like the illegal lawbreakers he hired.

some one else had it dead right.. 20 YEARS of combined employee violations, @ 71 employees, THAT should add up to a tidey little sum.. except the empty-sacked "legislators" shy away from actually PUNISHING the truly guilty party here.. the EMPLOYER!!

this is true, but we must not forget, those illegal employers must be arrested, thrown in jail, serve their time and then be deported. along with their families

Matsuda's, the Sacramento nursery recently audited by federal immigration officials, is in the process of interviewing dozens of field laborers to replace about 60 workers who don't have legal papers authorizing them to be in the U.S.

The undocumented workers, some of whom have worked at Matsuda's southeast Sacramento nursery for 20 years, were identified in the workplace audit by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which found 71 didn't have legal documents. One is from Peru and the rest are from Mexico, said general manager Ryan Wallace.

"Today is their last day - some have left already," said Wallace. "It's sad, people are concerned about what they're going to do."

But 8 to 10 have supplied updated papers, including green cards and Social Security numbers, Wallace said, and will get to keep working until the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has time to review them.

"We're averaging 50 to 100 applicants a day - most of the jobs pay minimum wage of $8 an hour," Wallace said. "We will also have to fill some supervisory positions."

alot of americans who are not working will be more than happy to take these jobs. and meanwhile, one can only hope the people fired will go back to where they came from. but i bet they stay in sacramento and find other work
