In a different posting many of us complained about a guilty business owner that merely rec'ed probation and fines for hiring illegal aliens. Ref. Bob Eisel Powder Coatings. Well this is a bigger case. Small players have pleaded guilty and the procecuter is moving up the food chain. Even the owner's daughter has pleaded guilty.

We must not only write letters to our elected representatives, but positively influence our judges to make decisions strengthening our immigrations laws. Some judges are appointed, some are elected, they all read the headlines regarding current events. They can be swayed by public opinion ! So, please contact judges and politicians.

The lawyers for Fischer Home's managers (supervisors) tried to delay their trial. Judge David L. Bunning refused their request.

Please write the judge and thank him for keeping the trial from getting delayed and ask for serious jail time for any guilty party. If judges start giving business owners serious jail time, the impact could be huge !

Re.: Five home contractors facing trial in illegal immigrant case
Associated Press

COVINGTON, Ky. - Five home contractors charged with letting illegal immigrants work on their job sites face a criminal trial later this month.

U.S. District Judge David Bunning turned down a request to delay the proceedings during a hearing Monday in Covington.

Federal agents in May raided several Fischer Homes worksites in Boone County and arrested nearly 100 people. Most were Mexican or Central American nationals who were charged with being in the United States illegally. Most have pleaded guilty to that misdemeanor charge and have been deported.

The five Fischer Homes supervisors - Timothy Copsy, Douglas Witt, William Allison, Ronald Vanlandingham and David Schroeder - were charged with conspiring to harbor illegal immigrants.
Bunning said the trial would begin Nov. 27.

Lawyers for the men said it hasn't been determined whom in the company is responsible for hiring and firing workers, and whether that task is part of the responsibility of the midlevel Fischer supervisors on trial.
The company has said it has done nothing wrong. The five defendants remain working for Fischer Homes. Each faces a maximum of 10 years in prison if found guilty.

Thank you for keeping this trial on a timely track and opposing any delay. I would recommend the lawyers consider checking the job description of Fischer Home managers, to help determine who was responsible for hiring and firing. It may also be spelled out in written policies and/or procedures. I’m pleased you didn’t let them stall the forward progress of this trial.

Regards,
