Temp Agency Made $12 million With Illegal Aliens

According to the Daily Item a 50-year-old Danville man was sentenced Tuesday to five years in federal prison for operating a temporary employment agency with illegal immigrants that generated $12 million in revenue between 2002 and 2007.

A federal investigation revealed Nguyen's laborers were undocumented workers and that his agency made in excess of $12 million over a five-year period. Because the income generated was from the use of an illegal workforce, H&T failed to make payments of $213,833 to the Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation Program and $345,172 to the U.S. Medicare Trust Fund, according to Carlson.

Most of the laborers worked at a cosmetics makeup tubing company in Stroudsburg, according to U.S. Attorney Martin C. Carlson. -Probably jobs Americans would not take, right????
